This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a medication called to see if it can help protect your remaining kidney function while you're on peritoneal dialysis. Even though you're on dialysis, your kidneys still do some important work—removing extra water and waste, and making substances your body needs. The study wants to know if this medication can slow down the decline of that remaining kidney function and improve your overall health.
When people start dialysis, preserving whatever kidney function they have left is really important—it reduces complications, helps dialysis work better, and can extend how long the treatment lasts. Right now, doctors have limited options to slow this decline, so researchers want to see if this medication, which has shown promise in non-dialysis kidney patients, can help dialysis patients too.

If you're chosen for the study, you'll be randomly assigned to either take the medication once daily by mouth for 24 weeks, or to continue your regular dialysis treatment without it. Either way, you'll keep taking your regular blood pressure and blood sugar medications and doing your dialysis as usual. The research team will monitor your kidney function, heart health, and overall well-being throughout the six-month study period.
