Dr Clarkson (MB, BAO BCh, University of Dublin, Trinity College 1994) undertook postgraduate training in Internal Medicine and Nephrology in Dublin 1994-2001 and was awarded an MD by thesis in 2002. He completed a clinical and research fellowship at The Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston (2001-2004). He was appointed to the staff of the Brigham and Women’s Hospital before taking up his current position in CUH in 2005.

His research interests include the immunobiology of transplant rejection and small vessel vasculitis. Dr Clarkson is the recipient of a Programme Project Grant from the Health Research Board of Ireland, has authored or co-authored over 35 peer-reviewed scientific papers, 8 book chapters and is editor of the Companion Handbook to Brenner and Rector’s ‘The Kidney'.

Dr Clarkson provides an outreach service to Kerry General Hospital.

2018  - present: Principal Investigator. IFX-1-P2.5 Study. A randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, multicenter, Phase IIa study on replacement of steroids by IFX-1 during induction and remission therapy in ANCA-associated vasculitis. Commencing Q1 2019.

2017-  present. Principal Investigator. Advocate Study. A randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 Study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CCX168 (Avacopan) in Patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis treated concurrently with Rituximab or Cyclophosphamide/Azathioprine.  

2015- present: National Coordinator and Principal Investigator. Dolomites Study. A Phase 3, randomized, open-label, active-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FG-4592 in the treatment of anemia in chronic kidney disease patients not on dialysis.
