SUMMER 2022, THE EVIDENCE FORUM, WHITE PAPER

Summary

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a condition characterized by abnormalities of kidney structure or function, present for greater than three months. CKD is quite common in adults, with a significant rise in incidence of close to 30 percent over the last 30+ years. While appearance in children is extremely rare, those with CKD face many challenges, such as negative self-image, behavior and learning problems, delayed language and motor skills development and delayed growth rate compared to their healthy peers.

In this paper, we discuss:

  • An assessment of metadata from Clinicaltrials.gov and publications from Pubmed.gov to characterize clinical research trends in CKD over the last 20 years
  • Our approach in comparing two 10-year time periods (2002 to 2011 and 2012 to 2021) in terms of numbers of studies, study phases, study populations, type of interventions, endpoints
  • Possibilities for future trajectories for treatment
