Cheryl L. Tran, M.D., has a special research interest in nephrotic syndrome (NS), and is a co-investigator in a multicenter drug trial investigating adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) therapy in pediatric patients with steroid-dependent and frequently relapsing NS. Dr. Tran is involved in various multicenter research studies including Nephrotic Syndrome Study Network (NEPTUNE) and Cure Glomerulonephropathy Network (CureGN), examining membranous nephropathy, minimal change disease and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS/MCD) through clinical, biorepository and drug trial research.
There is a continued need for large-scale pediatric studies in the field of pediatric nephrology. Participation in the multicenter NS research studies noted above will help pediatric nephrologists learn more about the disease, including gene expression profiles, risk factors, comorbidities, predictors of treatment response and outcomes. Dr. Tran hopes the data from her research will help pediatric nephrologists find novel therapies, including nonimmunomodulating therapies, to better treat NS and improve long-term outcomes. Participation in drug-trial studies, such as the ACTH trial in pediatric patients with steroid-dependent and frequently relapsing NS, offers patients additional treatment options that might otherwise be unavailable.
