The University of Colorado-Denver received a $367,900 Project Grant (R21AR082655) from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846). The grant will fund research to develop novel formulations of the drug imatinib that can enhance its delivery and accumulation in the kidney to improve treatment of glomerular kidney diseases, including lupus nephritis. The research team will test whether the nanoformulation techniques can increase imatinib's kidney deposition, enhance targeting to glomerular mesangial cells, and improve therapeutic efficacy and safety compared to the free drug in mouse models of lupus nephritis. The goal is to create improved, kidney-targeted treatment approaches for glomerular kidney diseases that can address the limitations of current therapies.
