The Definitive Industry Forum for
CKD Drug Development

Advance More Personalized Therapies for Rare & Common Kidney Diseases

The surge of clinical breakthroughs in SGLT2s, GLP-1s and ERAs for CKD, significant advancements to strengthen proteinuria and GFR slope as surrogates for long-term outcomes, and a wave of promising new targets in development, has truly lit the fuse on decades of innovative kidney research.

Bringing together 200+ biopharma stakeholders, from scientific research to clinical development and outcomes, across three days of concentrated discussion, the 6th CKD Drug Development Summit is the definitive forum for KOLs, industry experts, and regulators to concentrate kidney innovation onto the next generation of drug development.
