Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include individuals aged from birth to 18 years with a confirmed diagnosis of PH1 and severe renal impairment.

Probably not a fit

Patients with stable renal function above the specified GFR threshold or those not diagnosed with PH1 may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This Phase 2 study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of DCR-PHXC in patients diagnosed with Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1 (PH1) and severe renal impairment, including those on dialysis. Participants will undergo a screening period of up to 35 days, followed by monthly dosing visits for 180 days. Those who complete the initial phase may continue receiving DCR-PHXC for an additional five years, with options for at-home administration. The study will last approximately five years, including extended follow-up for participants.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve the management of PH1 in patients with severe renal impairment.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel, similar studies targeting rare metabolic disorders have shown promising results.
