ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is testing a new drug called GSK4771261 to see how safe it is and how it affects people’s health, especially focusing on its impact on blood and urine markers. There are two parts to the study. In the first part, healthy volunteers will receive the drug to assess its safety and how the body reacts to it. In the second part, the drug will be given to individuals who have a specific kidney disease known as autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The goal is to understand how the drug works in both healthy people and those with this condition.

To be eligible for the trial, participants must be at least 18 years old and weigh at least 45 kilograms (about 99 pounds). Healthy volunteers should have no history of serious health issues, while those with ADPKD need to have a confirmed diagnosis and be otherwise healthy. Participants can expect to undergo medical evaluations, including physical exams and blood tests, to ensure they are suitable for the study. It’s important to know that neither the participants nor the study staff will know who is receiving the drug or a placebo (a non-active substance) during the trial, which helps ensure the results are reliable. This study is currently looking for volunteers to participate.
