In the endpoint adjudication space the gold standard for the review of clinical outcomes is to have standardized universal event definitions. Although there have been multiple global kidney outcome trials in the past 10 years, there is currently no such universal definition for End Stage Kidney Disease. In addition to this, the adjudication of kidney endpoints still faces many clinical, practical and regional challenges. In this interactive webinar, our CMO Dr. Maria Ali will discuss this topic with leading nephrologists Prof. Dan Weiner and Prof. Stephen Seliger to gather their perspectives on these issues and the latest thinking on approaches to address them.
