Participate in PERL Clinical Trial
Kidney
disease is one of the leading complications of diabetes, and can lead to
serious health problems, including the need for dialysis or kidney
transplant. Despite many medical advances that have improved diabetes
treatment, kidney disease remains a problem for many people with
diabetes. New treatments are urgently needed.
PERL
is a clinical trial for people with type 1 diabetes who have early
signs of kidney problems. Our goal is to test a new way to reduce loss
of kidney function using a safe and inexpensive medicine. We are
seeking adults with type 1 diabetes to participate in our study.
Find out more about our study and whether you might be eligible and how you can participate.
