HALT PKD Clinical Research
The Polycystic Kidney Disease Treatment Network (PKD-TN) has established the HALT PKD clinical trials to test interventions that may be
effective in slowing kidney growth in patients suffering from polycystic
kidney disease. Top investigators from a number of leading United States medical centers, with full support from the NIH National Institute of Diabetes & Digestive &
Kidney Diseases, are collaborating in HALT PKD clinical trials. The
Division of Biostatistics at
Washington University in St. Louis
serves as the Data Coordinating
Center (DCC), under the guidance of Professor J. Philip Miller. The
DCC is responsible for developing a Web-based data entry
system, managing all study data, tracking patient recruitment and adverse
events, and overseeing data collection and reporting.
*Please note that final determination of
eligibility to participate in any clinical trial requires that the principal
investigator or his/her designate make a very subject-specific, case-by-case
assessment based on defined inclusion/exclusion criteria.
