There was an error in the original publication [1]. One of the reviewed peptides, THR-184, completed phase 2 clinical trials in 2017, but for a different disease treatment. A correction has been made to Section 5. Discussion and Future Perspectives, paragraph 4:
“Most of the peptides reviewed here are in the preclinical stage of development and have yet to enter clinical trials. THR-184 and ANG-3777 (an HGF peptide mimetic previously known as BB3) have both completed phase 2 clinical trials (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT01830920; NCT02771509) as perioperative treatments in cardiovascular-surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CVS-AKI), which is a type of ischemic injury that may progress to chronic kidney disease and renal fibrosis [59,60].”
With this change, two more references were added: [59] and [60] (see [2,3]), and the original [59] and [60] have been modified to [61] and [62].
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
