Thank you for your interest in the Maze MZE829-201 study: Below will provide you with information about chronic kidney disease (CKD) and why understanding your kidney health is important.
Consider a clinical trial for people living with chronic kidney disease (CKD)
- Clinical studies help researchers learn more about how to treat conditions and diseases, including chronic kidney disease.
- If you're interested in taking part in this study, you will need to be fully assessed to see if you qualify. This will include reviewing your medical history, checking your kidney function, and completing urine tests to measure protein levels. Participants may be compensated for their time and travel.

What is CKD?
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) happens when the kidneys become damaged and can no longer filter waste and fluids as well as they should. When the kidneys aren't working properly, protein can leak into the urine — this is known as proteinuria, and it is an early sign of kidney damage.
CKD affects millions of people and is especially common in individuals with high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of kidney disease. Some people may not have symptoms early on, so regular testing is important.
The MZE829201 study focuses on adults with proteinuric CKD who are also of recent African ancestry , such as African American, AfroCaribbean, AfroLatinx, or other African descent. This is because certain kidney conditions occur more often in these communities, and the study aims to learn more about possible treatment options for those at higher risk.
