Is TRPC6 inhibition for FSGS a trick or a treat?

This week, we will discuss a phase 2 trial of the TRPC6 inhibitor BI 764198 in FSGS—an early signal for a podocyte-targeted therapy showing proteinuria reduction but set against small numbers, heterogeneity, and methodological trade-offs that frame this as direction-finding rather than definitive evidence.

INFINITI: The Visual Abstract

SGLT2i have reshaped cardiorenal care, but kidney transplant recipients have mostly been left out of the story. INFINITI starts to close that gap, testing the safety and physiology of dapagliflozin in stable KTR.
