Clinical Trials (ISN-ACT)

The ISN-Advancing Clinical Trials (ISN-ACT) is an ISN initiative to encourage existing infrastructures within ISN to improve the global nephrology community’s participation in clinical trial research.

ISN-ACT calls on investigators and interested individuals to join the initiative to generate more high-quality clinical trials and studies in nephrology, informing the optimal prevention and treatment of kidney disease and its complications for the benefit of patients.

The ISN calls on members to help grow the capacity of the global nephrology community to lead and participate in clinical trials, by contributing, collaborating, and sharing experience.
