Clinical Trials

At Chinook Therapeutics, we believe our work should be informed by patients and for patients. Our partnerships with leading Patient Advocacy Organizations enable us to better understand our patients and their needs. We’re also committed to improving patient access and representation in our clinical trials through financial assistance or compensation for out-of-pocket costs. We thank patients and their families for their interest in our clinical trials. Clinical trial participation makes our research and advances in the treatment of kidney disease possible.

If you have any questions about our clinical trials, please speak with your physician.

Efficacy and safety have not been established, and there is no guarantee that it will become commercially available for the use(s) under investigation. Participation in one of our clinical trials is the most appropriate way to access our investigational therapies.
