Research hub

Welcome to the Kidney Health NZ research hub, a space for consumers to participate in research and for researchers to advertise their research studies.

Participate in research

Participating in research is extremely important as it can benefit the entire kidney community as well as improve the level of care for people in the future.

JUNIPER Study

New Zealand Clinical Research (NZCR) is New Zealand’s leading clinical trials and medical research organisation, with over 25 years of research experience and a track record of completing over 800 trials involving over 17,000 New Zealanders.

They are currently looking for people to take part in a clinical trial who are:

  • Aged 18–60 years
  • Diagnosed with IgA Nephropathy (IgAN), confirmed by kidney biopsy within the last 5 years
  • Taking stable doses of an ACE inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker, such as Lisinopril, Enalapril, Losartan or Valsartan

By taking part in clinical research, you could help contribute to the development of potential future treatments for people living with IgAN.

Clinical trials involve an investigational medicine and study assessments. Eligibility criteria apply. Register your interest today to find out more, or share with someone who may be a good candidate.
