Investigator Sponsored Trials

Ardelyx is dedicated to improving the lives of patients by discovering and developing first-in-class targeted therapies that advance patient care. To this end, Ardelyx supports independent research studies aligned with our mission and values from customers, third-party researchers, or collaborative groups of scientists, so-called Investigator-Sponsored Trials (ISTs).

An IST is a clinical trial that is initiated, developed, designed, and managed by a qualified Investigator who assumes sole and full responsibility for conduct and management of the study. ISTs are intended to answer an unmet scientific question or developmental need. Together with Ardelyx-sponsored research, these independent studies support the body of knowledge around disease areas of interest and real-world experiences with Ardelyx therapies.
