IgA Nephropathy (IgAN)

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerulonephritis worldwide, characterized by glomerular mesangial IgA deposits, often with IgG and C3. Despite its prevalence, the pathophysiology of IgAN is poorly understood. The prognosis varies significantly, from benign hematuria to rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, potentially leading to end-stage renal disease within months. The MEST-C classification enhances prognosis characterization and informs integrated scoring systems; however, while useful for assessing overall prognosis, these scores do not reliably predict treatment responses and are unvalidated for IgA vasculitis nephritis. Given the disease's heterogeneity, treatment options for IgAN, with or without vasculitis, are controversial. Nephroprotective strategies that lower intraglomerular pressure through RAS blockade are essential in managing IgAN. Steroids are considered for rapidly progressive cases, yet their effectiveness in persistent proteinuria despite optimized nephroprotection is debated. Other immunosuppressive therapies, such as B cell targeting and complement inhibition, are under investigation. Recently developed nephroprotective strategies, including SGLT2 inhibitors and endothelin-1 receptor antagonists, may significantly influence future therapeutic approaches. Although available in many European countries, their real-world effectiveness has not been evaluated. Identifying factors linked to persistent proteinuria and renal dysfunction despite optimized nephroprotection is a critical unmet need. We hypothesize that innovative nephroprotective strategies will reduce the risk of persistent proteinuria and renal dysfunction in an IgAN cohort.

This Phase 2 study is designed to assess the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of ADX-038 in adults with complement-mediated kidney diseases.

The goal of this observational study is to learn about loin pain in people with Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). The main question it aims to answer is: What changes occur in the kidneys, urine, and blood when people with IgAN experience loin pain? Participants will have MRI scans of their kidneys, provide urine and blood samples, and have their latest kidney function test results reviewed. For participants who experience loin pain, these assessments will be carried out during a pain episode and again when they are pain-free, so the results can be compared.

: IgA-nephropathy is the most common glomerulonephritis with the unfavorable prognosis in patients with persistent albuminuria. Finerenone is a new nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist that has demonstrated efficacy in reducing albuminuria in patients with CKD and type 2 diabetes in two major trials, FIGARO-DKD and FIDELIO. This finding supported the approval of finerenone by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD). A subgroup analysis in the pooled FIDELITY trial demonstrated that in patients with CKD stages 1-4 and type 2 diabetes (T2D), the cardio- and nephroprotective effects of finerenone were independent of concomitant therapy with SGLT-2 inhibitors or GLP-1 receptor agonists. Thus, the role of finerenone in slowing CKD progression in T2D can be considered well-established. Given its albuminuria-reducing effects, finerenone is being investigated in multiple trials, including studies on non-diabetic kidney disease and IgA nephropathy, though no published results are available yet. In this trial finerenone will be used as a nephroprotective agent above standard treatment in terms of assessing adverse events and potential efficacy.

This study at UCLA Center for Health Sciences is testing whether the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet can lower protein levels in the urine of people with IgA Nephropathy (IgAN), a common kidney disease that can lead to kidney failure. The AIP diet avoids foods that may cause inflammation (like dairy, grains, and sugar) for 8 weeks, then gradually reintroduces them over 4 months. We're enrolling 30 adults aged 18-65 with IgAN and protein in their urine to try this diet for 6 months. Participants will track their urine protein daily at home, keep a food log, and have monthly lab checkups, with support from a diet expert. The main goal is to see if the diet reduces urine protein by 20% or more, which could slow disease progression and reduce the need for treatments like dialysis. This exploratory study aims to find out if diet changes can help manage IgAN.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SC0062 capsule compared to placebo in patients with IgA nephropathy in the presence of proteinuria. The participants must have a high risk of disease progression, despite of stable use of the maximum tolerated labelled or optimized dose of RAASi and/or SGLT2i for at least 12 weeks prior to randomization.

This study looks at how well and safely SGB-9768 works for patients with certain kidney diseases: primary IgA nephropathy, C3 glomerulopathy, and immune complex-related membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. It's a phase 2 trial done at several locations where both patients and doctors know what treatment is being given.

This research plan, from January 2021 to December 2024, aims to collect serum and morning urine from patients diagnosed with IgA nephropathy, idiopathic membranous nephropathy, diabetic nephropathy, and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis the Nephrology Department of Qianfoshan Hospital in Shandong Province, through renal biopsy. These samples will be scanned using a Raman spect to obtain Raman spectral data. The scattering peaks in the Raman spectra will be analyzed using Origin software for Gaussian curve fitting. The position of the peaks will used to query relevant literature to identify the corresponding chemical bonds and confirm the presence of compounds. The intensity and area of the chemical substance peaks in the Raman will be calculated and used to plot calibration curves, thereby establishing a quantitative analysis equation. This equation will be used to accurately calculate the concentration of each analyte in serum and urine samples. Based on the average concentration data for each patient group, multivariate analysis methods, such as principal component analysis (PCA) and Mahalanis distance discriminant model, will be used to classify and predict the disease types. The preliminary data for this study comes from the Nephrology Department ofianfoshan Hospital, where different types of glomerular diseases have been pathologically classified using tools such as light microscopy, electron microscopy, and immunoforescence microscopy. By combining Raman spectroscopy technology and statistical analysis, this study aims to establish a non-invasive and efficient diagnostic tool to assist in the of kidney diseases and predict treatment outcomes.
