International Society of Nephrology - Advancing Clinical Trials (ISN-ACT) Statement on Trials and COVID-19
The ISN-ACT Committee has released a statement on the urgent need to include patients with kidney diseases in clinical trials related to COVID-19.
Despite preliminary studies demonstrating the increased risk for people with kidney diseases to develop severe COVID-19 symptoms or to die from COVID-19, kidney disease patients are frequently excluded from COVID-19-related clinical trials.
