Summary:
What are the FIDELIO-DKD and FIGARO-DKD studies?
The FIDELIO-DKD and FIGARO-DKD studies are clinical research studies for adults with type 2 diabetes and diabetic kidney disease (DKD). The purpose of the studies is to evaluate whether adding an investigational medication to regular treatment may be safe and effective to help slow the progression of kidney disease in patients with DKD and type 2 diabetes. The studies will also look at whether the addition of the investigational medication to regular treatment may help reduce more serious complications of DKD like heart disease or stroke.
