Milestone One is proud to announce a new clinical research collaboration with Kidney Care Center Clinical Research, reinforcing a shared commitment to expanding equitable access to clinical trials through community-embedded care.

Through Milestone One’s site enablement framework, KCC Clinical Research will further strengthen and standardize its research infrastructure within community-based settings. Milestone One provides structured administrative and operational support across the clinical trial lifecycle, reinforcing defined processes and supporting day-to-day study execution so investigators can remain focused on patient care.

KCC Clinical Research is built on the belief that innovation in nephrology should be delivered directly within the communities where patients already receive care. The program expands access to emerging therapies for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), end-stage renal disease (ESRD), hypertension, and related cardiovascular conditions, while upholding rigorous standards of safety and ethics. By integrating research into outpatient and dialysis workflows, participation becomes a natural extension of care.

As a physician-led research program, KCC Clinical Research is distinguished by both the strength of its patient population and the depth of its investigator experience. The organization serves a high-volume CKD and ESRD population across community nephrology and dialysis settings, including Medicare, Medicaid, and historically underserved communities. This real-world diversity supports enrollment reflective of the true burden of kidney disease, while actively practicing nephrologists enhance patient identification, protocol adherence, and retention.

Together, Milestone One and KCC Clinical Research are expanding access to innovative therapies for patients who have historically had limited opportunity to participate in clinical research, advancing both equity and quality in kidney care.
