Patients who have taken part in Human Trials for the potential breakthrough medication have experienced "significant improvement in Kidney Function from baseline" even after a four-week withdrawal, suggested Alport Syndrome News. The most commonly reported adverse event was mild to moderate muscle spasms, with no evidence of muscle toxicity. At the time of the analysis, no treatment-related adverse events were observed, and no patient had stopped treatment.
