Efficacy and Safety of Volenrelaxin in Adults With Chronic Kidney Disease

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of Volenrelaxin in adults with Chronic Kidney Disease. The study will last about 24 weeks.

Why the study stopped: Study was terminated due to a lack of foreseeable clinical benefit in the proposed chronic kidney disease population, following the termination of a related heart failure study that demonstrated no benefit in an overlapping patient group.
Withdrawn
