Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of ABBV-CLS-628, an investigational drug, for treating adults with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease ADPKD, a genetic condition that causes fluid-filled cysts to develop in the kidneys. This Phase 2 study involves about 240 adult participants aged 18 to 55 with specific classifications of ADPKD and certain kidney function levels. Participants are randomly assigned to one of four groups, receiving either one of three different doses of ABBV-CLS-628 or a placebo. The treatment is given as an intravenous infusion every four weeks for 92 weeks. After the treatment period, participants will be followed for up to 15 weeks to monitor ongoing effects. During the study, participants will attend regular hospital or clinic visits for medical assessments, blood tests, safety monitoring, and completing questionnaires. Researchers will measure changes in total kidney volume and kidney function over time, as well as record any adverse events. The study monitors participants closely to evaluate both the benefits and risks of the treatment throughout the nearly two-year participation period.

This table compares participation in this trial with other options available for this condition. The information is drawn from published research and the trial’s study details and is provided for educational purposes only.
| Factors | ABBV-CLS-628 (All dose levels) | Placebo |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | ABBV-CLS-628 is an investigational drug for ADPKD given by intravenous infusion. The trial tests three different doses in adults with moderately reduced kidney function. | A matching intravenous placebo is used, with no active ingredients, to compare against the investigational therapy. |
| Role in the study | Evaluated as the investigational treatment to assess safety and effects on disease progression. | Used as a control to compare safety and effectiveness of ABBV-CLS-628. |
| Main use in ADPKD | The aim is to slow the progression of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease in adults, as measured by kidney volume and kidney function tests. | Functions as a control, not intended to affect disease progression. |
| How it is administered | Given as an intravenous infusion at one of three different dose levels; frequency and duration per protocol. | Participants receive intravenous infusions with the same appearance and schedule as the ABBV-CLS-628 group. |
| Evidence to date | ABBV-CLS-628 is currently under evaluation for efficacy and safety in clinical trials; no published results are yet available for this agent in ADPKD. | Placebo is not expected to affect kidney disease; it serves as a baseline for comparison but does not provide therapeutic benefit. |
| Important limitations | No published data currently exist on long-term safety or effectiveness of ABBV-CLS-628 for ADPKD. Results are not yet available. The trial excludes patients with eGFR below 30 mL/min/1.73 m², so results may not apply to those with more advanced kidney disease. | Placebo does not reflect any established therapeutic intervention and does not represent current standard care outside a research setting. |
