Polycystic Kidney Diseases: Understanding

Polycystic Kidney Diseases: Overview

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is characterized by the presence of fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys. It is the fourth most common cause of chronic renal insufficiency or end-stage kidney disease. Cystic kidneys are common causes of end-stage renal disease, both in children and in adults. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) are cilia-related disorders and the two main forms of monogenic cystic kidney diseases. ADPKD is a common disease that mostly presents in adults, whereas ARPKD is a rarer and often more severe form of polycystic kidney disease (PKD) that usually presents perinatally or in early childhood.

In patients with polycystic kidney diseases (PKDs), the kidneys contain multiple fluid-filled cysts, although other organs may also be affected. Although PKD is inherited monogenically, it is phenotypically, genically and allelically heterogeneous. Autosomal dominant PKD (ADPKD) is the most common form of PKD and is generally an adult-onset, multisystem disorder that is characterized by gradually growing renal cysts that start to develop in utero and can originate from all areas of the kidneys, although cysts usually form in the distal regions of the nephron and the collecting duct. Progressive fibrocystic renal disease in ADPKD is often accompanied by hepatobiliary changes or other extrarenal abnormalities, such as intracranial arterial aneurysms.

To diagnose polycystic kidney disease and assess the size, number of cysts, and the health of kidney tissue, medical professionals commonly employ imaging techniques such as ultrasound, CT scans, and MRI scans. Ultrasound involves using a transducer emitting sound waves to create images of the kidneys, akin to sonar mapping. CT scans utilize X-ray beams to produce cross-sectional images, providing detailed views of the kidneys. MRI scans, employing magnetic fields and radio waves, generate high-resolution cross-sectional views, aiding in comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis of the condition.

"Polycystic Kidney Diseases- Pipeline Insight, 2024" report outlays comprehensive insights of present scenario and growth prospects across the indication. A detailed picture of the Polycystic Kidney Diseases pipeline landscape is provided which includes the disease overview and Polycystic Kidney Diseases treatment guidelines.

Polycystic Kidney Diseases Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Polycystic Kidney Diseases report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Polycystic Kidney Diseases Emerging Drugs

Tamibarotene: Rege Nephro Co., Ltd.

Tamibarotene, also known as Amnolake, is an orally active synthetic retinoid developed to address resistance to all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA). It acts as a selective agonist for the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARα) and beta (RARβ), with a higher affinity for RARα. Its mechanism of action involves binding to RARα, which allows for the restoration of gene expression and myeloid differentiation. Currently, the drug is in Phase II stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).

RGLS8429: Regulus Therapeutics Inc.

RGLS8429 is a novel, next generation oligonucleotide for the treatment of ADPKD designed to inhibit miR-17 and to preferentially target the kidney. Administration of RGLS8429 has shown data in preclinical models, where improvements in kidney function, size, and other measures of disease severity have been demonstrated along with a superior pharmacologic profile in preclinical studies compared to Regulus' first-generation compound, RGLS4326. Currently, the drug is in Phase I stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of Polycystic Kidney Diseases.

AL1311: AceLink Therapeutics, Inc.

AL1311 is a highly potent NRF2 activator that is being developed for Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney disease (ADPKD). AL1311 is different from other electrophilic and reactive NRF2 activators because it works by disrupting the protein-protein interaction between NRF2 and its regulatory protein Keap1. Non-reactive NRF2 activators have the potential to have better specificity for NRF2 activation and therefore a better safety profile. Currently, the drug is in Preclinical stage of development for the treatment of Polycystic Kidney Diseases.
