Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of LMB763 in Patients With Diabetic Nephropathy

A Randomized Patient-and-physician Blinded, Placebo-controlled, 24-week Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of LMB763 in Patients With Diabetic Nephropathy

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03804879

Novartis Reference Number: CLMB763X2202

All compounds are either investigational or being studied for (a) new use(s). Efficacy and safety have not been established. There is no guarantee that they will become commercially available for the use(s) under investigation.

Study Description

LMB763 addresses fibrosis, oxidative stress, inflammation and cell death, and therefore has the potential to improve the management of diabetic kidney disease when added to the standard of care (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker). This non-confirmatory Phase 2 study is designed to determine the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of LMB763 in combination with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) at a dose level that is standard of care as judged by the study doctor in patients with type 2 diabetes and nephropathy.
