I’ll echo what Bear said.

A drug that can help one stay off dialysis a few more years or even forever is hugely valuable.

A few caveats with eGFR....

The e means estimated.

Why is this important?

Well, the equation to calculate the eGFR can be rendered invalid/useless in many occasions that I see clinically.

If Apabetalone shows eGFR improvement, subsequent trials may look at cystatin C and inulin measurements.
