Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is one of the most common and serious public health crises on the planet. It’s is also one of the most invisible, often progressing with few or no symptoms until late-stage kidney failure sets in.
Every 30 minutes, properly functioning kidneys filter all the blood in your body, cleaning it of toxins and waste. With abnormal kidney function, wastes and fluid can build up in your blood---leading over time to complications such as stroke, cardiovascular disease, and end-stage renal disease.
Local doctors and specialists who understand this complex condition want to help. They’re evaluating new, investigational medication that could slow disease progress, reducing the risk of complications and potentially protecting you against the need for dialysis or a kidney transplant.
People may not give much thought to clinical research, but everything from aspirin to chemotherapy has been carefully tested before being prescribed by your doctor.
Clinical trials need human volunteers, who participate under the supervision of a doctor and/or health professionals. As the trial goes on, the doctors gather more and more information about the medicine or treatment under investigation. It is only through clinical trials that we learn if medicines and treatments are both effective and safe.
Dedicated to conducting clinical trials, Synexus have been investigating the effectiveness of new medicines and treatments for more than 25 years. We have vast experience in conducting clinical research with over 180 sites around the world. Each has its own dedicated team of highly trained doctors and nurses to provide our patients with the highest level of comfort and professionalism.
