Have you had type 2 diabetes for 10 years or more?
If you are a diabetic who has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and kidney disease, have been told you have high protein levels in your urine, or have been told by your physician that you are at risk for diabetic kidney disease (DKD), and you are receiving treatment for high blood pressure, you may want to consider the FIDELIODKD and FIGARO-DKD clinical research studies. These studies are recruiting patients with diabetes and kidney disease to evaluate whether adding an investigational medication to regular treatment may be safe and effective to slow the progression of kidney disease and reduce cardiovascular complications, such as heart disease or stroke. You may be able to join the FIDELIO-DKD or FIGARODKD study if you:
• Have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus
• Have reduced kidney function as a result of having diabetes
• Are receiving treatment for high blood pressure
• Are at least 18 years old There are other eligibility criteria that you must meet to participate. The study staff will discuss these criteria with you in greater detail.
