Study of MB-102 (Relmapirazin) and the Use of the MediBeacon® Transdermal GFR Measurement System Using the TGFR Reusable Sensor With Disposable Adhesive Ring

Plain-language summary
The goal of this clinical trial was to compare transdermal glomerular filtration rate (tGFR) to plasma-derived indexed GFR (nGFR) using MB-102 (relmapirazin) as the fluorescent compound. Adults with kidney function ranging from estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \<120 to \>15 mL/min/1.73 m2 and spanning the entire range of human skin colors as defined by the Fitzpatrick Skin Scale (FSS) were included in the study.
The main questions that the study aimed to answer were:
* To establish that the MB-102 transdermal fluorescence assessed GFR using the MediBeacon Transdermal GFR System with the TGFR reusable sensor with disposable adhesive ring was comparable to the measured MB-102 plasma GFR.
* To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the MediBeacon Transdermal GFR System and the TGFR reusable sensor with disposable adhesive ring for the non-invasive transdermal fluorescence detection of MB-102 in participants
On dosing day, participants had the TGFR reusable sensor with disposable adhesive ring placed on their chest, and the MediBeacon Transdermal GFR System initiated to collect background fluorescence. When this was completed, participants then received a single dose of MB-102. Blood samples were collected and fluorescent measurements were taken over a 12- or 24-hour (or longer) period, depending upon enrollment group. For those with significant renal compromise, fluorescent measurements were continued until the sensor no longer detected MB-102 in the body. Following completion of the treatment period, participants returned to the study center approximately 1 week later for a safety follow-up visit. Researchers compared the results to see if the transdermal GFR measurements were comparable to the measured plasma GFR.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
