This Project Grant award from the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) under CFDA Program 93.350 provides funding of $437,761 to the University of Texas at Austin for a 2-year research project from August 2024 to July 2026. The project aims to determine if a human enzyme therapeutic that degrades cystine can prevent or slow the formation of cystine kidney stones and mitigate associated kidney pathology in a mouse model of cystinuria, a rare metabolic disorder causing recurrent kidney stones. Key research activities include assessing changes in stone volume and multiplicity via computed tomography, as well as evaluating the long-term safety of the enzyme therapy approach through chronic dosing and comprehensive health assessments of the treated animals.
