ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying a new oral solution called NPI-001 as a treatment for cystinosis, a condition that affects the kidneys. Researchers want to learn about how safe this medication is and how it works in the body compared to the standard treatment, which is cysteamine. The trial is currently looking for participants who are at least 10 years old and have been diagnosed with nephropathic cystinosis. To join the study, participants must be able to stop their current cysteamine treatment for two days and must agree to use contraception if they are of childbearing age.
If you or someone you know is eligible and decides to participate, you'll need to visit a clinical research unit for up to three days. During this time, you'll receive the study medication and undergo tests to monitor its effects. The trial is open to all genders, and the researchers want to make sure that everyone understands the study and agrees to participate. It's an important opportunity to help advance treatment options for cystinosis!
