What this trial studies

CAPTIVATE is an international, multi-centre, Phase III adaptive platform trial designed to identify the most effective treatments for chronic kidney disease (CKD). The trial aims to slow CKD progression and reduce the incidence of kidney failure by testing multiple treatments within a common framework. Participants will receive treatments for two years and will be monitored through regular follow-up visits to assess their health and treatment effects. The adaptive design allows for the addition of new treatments and the removal of ineffective ones, enhancing the efficiency of the research.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older with chronic kidney disease and an eGFR of 25 mL/min/1.73m2 or higher.

Not a fit: Patients who are planning to start kidney replacement therapy or have a life expectancy of less than 6 months may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this trial could lead to more effective treatments that significantly slow the progression of chronic kidney disease.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using adaptive platform designs for chronic conditions, indicating potential for success in this approach.
