CVS Health Clinical Trial Services to recruit diabetes, chronic kidney disease patients

CVS Health Clinical Trial Services and ProKidney today announced a collaboration to enroll patients with Type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease into the proact 1 (REGEN-006) Phase 3 clinical trial of REACT.

ProKidney’s lead product candidate, REACT (REnal Autologous Cell Therapy), is a first-of-its-kind, patented, autologous cellular therapy with the potential to not only slow and stabilize the progression of CKD, but in some cases potentially drive meaningful improvement in kidney function, the company said.
