Active clinical trials for "Glomerulonephritis, IGA"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether fostamatinib is safe and effective in the treatment of IgA Nephropathy

The study is to evaluate the effect of Mycophenolate Mofetil compared with losartan alone on time to doubling of serum creatinine or the onset of end stage renal disease in patients with advanced IgA nephropathy who are treated with the maximal tolerated daily dose of losartan.The study will also assess the effects of MMF compared with losartan alone on the changes of urine albumin excretion and the changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate.

The primary safety objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CCX168 in subjects with IgAN on background supportive therapy with a maximally tolerated dose of RAAS blockade. The primary efficacy objective is to evaluate the efficacy of CCX168 based on an improvement in proteinuria.

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy is the most common type of primary glomerulonephritis in the world. Current treatment with angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) is not entirely effective. Aliskiren, a direct renin inhibitor, acts on the rate limiting step of the renin-angiotensin axis. In addition to lowering the blood pressure, recent study in diabetic nephropathy suggests an independent anti-proteinuric effect. The investigators plan to conduct a randomized placebo-control cross-over study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of aliskiren in the treatment of IgA nephropathy. The investigators plan to recruit 57 patients with biopsy-proven IgA nephropathy and persistent proteinuria despite conventional therapy. They will be randomized to aliskiren for 16 weeks or no treatment, followed by cross over to the other arm after a washout period. Proteinuria, albuminuria, renal function, serum and urinary markers will be quantified. This study will explore the potential anti-proteinuric effect of aliskiren in the treatment of IgA nephropathy, which has no specific treatment at present.

a statement of the study hypothesis:the effect of valsartan in patients with IgA nephropathy have been proved,and the efficacy of probucol in combination with valsartan is to be proved in patients with IgA nephropathy. This is a prospective randomized controlled, double blinded pilot study to identify the efficacy of probucol in combination with valsartan in patients with IgA nephropathy. The renal function deterioration will be the primary outcome studied. The expected study duration will be 36 months.

A single-center random parallel study to compare the efficacy and safety of Mycophenolate mofetil versus intravenous Cyclophosphamide pulses in the treatment of crescentic IgA nephropathy

IgA nephropathy is the most common type of primary glomerulonephritis and might caused by deposition of immune complex containing IgA in mesangium and causing local immune activation. Hydroxychloroquine reduces the activation of dendritic cells and the inflammatory process and showed the potential effect of treatment of patients with IgA nephropathy. The investigators study will recruite IgA nephropathy patients with proteinuria range from 0.75 to 3.5g/d even after three-month treatment by sufficient ACEi/ARB. The patients were treated with Hydroxychloroquine 300-400mg/d according to eGFR. The proteinuria will recorded every two months and total four months. Then, the drug will be stopped for two months for observation of change of proteinuria.

Efficacy and safety of LNP023 in IgAN patients

This multi-center, open-label Phase 2 trial will study the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of bardoxolone methyl in qualified patients with the following rare chronic kidney diseases (CKD): CKD associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D), IgA nephropathy (IgAN), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Patients will be enrolled in disease specific cohorts within the trial, and effectiveness of bardoxolone methyl in treating CKD will be assessed separately by cohort for each rare CKD. All patients in the study will follow the same visit and assessment schedule. Following randomization on Day 1, patients will be scheduled to be assessed during treatment at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12, and by telephone contact on Days 3, 10, 21, 31, 38, and 45. Patients will also be scheduled to be assessed at an in-person follow-up visit at Week 16, four weeks after the end of treatment.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Tai Ai (Recombinant Human B Lymphocyte Stimulator Receptor-Antibody Fusion Protein for Injection) in the treatment of IgA nephropathy.
