This clinical trial is a prospective, multicenter, non-randomized controlled study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Telitacicept, a novel biologic agent, in treating pediatric IgA Nephropathy (IgAN) and IgA Vasculitis Nephritis (IgAVN). The study plans to enroll 124 children aged 5-18, divided into a test group (standard therapy + Telitacicept) and a control group (standard therapy alone), with a 24-week treatment period. The primary endpoint is the change in 24-hour urine protein levels at week 24, while secondary outcomes include UPCR (urine protein-to-creatinine ratio), eGFR, and drug safety.
Diagnosed with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) or IgA vasculitis nephritis (IgAVN) Aged 5 to 18 years Weight ≥25 kg Moderate or heavy proteinuria At enrollment, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥30 mL/min/1.73m² calculated using the Schwartz formula (36.5 × height [cm] / serum creatinine [μmol/L]).
There is an ongoing infection that requires antiviral drugs or antibiotics for treatment.
