CKD Summit 2026

March 16-18, 2026 | Boston, MA

Avance Clinical will attend the CKD Summit 2026, March 16–18 in Boston, a leading global forum focused on accelerating innovation in chronic kidney disease.

At the event, we will meet with biotech companies to discuss upcoming clinical development plans and share how our Renal & Cardiometabolic Center of Excellence supports the efficient design and delivery of mid‑ to late‑phase CKD programs through scientifically grounded, feasibility‑driven trial strategies.

Why Partner with Avance Clinical?

Biotechs joining the Summit can gain insight into how Avance Clinical’s Renal & Cardiometabolic Center of Excellence designs practical, patient‑focused CKD studies that reflect real‑world patient needs.

Our access to high‑burden patient regions and global nephrology investigator networks enables more efficient and predictable study delivery through:

  • Faster, more reliable patient recruitment and retention
  • Trial designs that align with real‑world patient needs
  • Increased investigator motivation and confidence for effective study conduct
  • Reduced delays and improved cost efficiency
  • Seamless continuity from early development through regulatory submission

An integral function of our Renal & Cardiometabolic Center of Excellence is to engage early and continuously with key opinion leaders (KOLs) in nephrology. Their scientific insight strengthens protocol design, supports operational feasibility, and ensures alignment throughout the entire study lifecycle.
