IgA Nephropathy

In part 2 of 4 from this episode, the discussion focuses on the groundbreaking work of the RADAR Registry and the PARASOL Initiative.

In part 1 of 4 from this episode, the discussion focuses on the backgrounds of guests Laura Mariani, MD, MS, and Daniel Gale, PhD, MB BChir.

This 4-part episode focuses on the PARASOL Initiative and the landscape of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis treatment.

As announced by NovelMed on December 2, 2024, the FDA has granted IND clearance for Ruxoprubart to commence an efficacy trial for the treatment of IgAN.

Initiation of population-wide CKD screening followed by conventional CKD treatment plus SGLT2 inhibitors at 55 years of age was cost-effective.

Treatment with the novel selective endothelin receptor type A antagonist alongside standard care reduced UPCR in patients with IgAN in a phase 2 trial.

The study is one of the first to report United States IgAN incidence based on a large racially and ethnically diverse cohort.

This nephrology month in review spotlights HCPLive’s coverage of ASN Kidney Week, the debut of a new podcast, and new research on IgA nephropathy.

In this segment, Barratt reflects on recent updates in the management of IgA nephropathy, with a focus on updates related to atrasentan.

Complete, 24-month data from the IGNAZ study were presented at the ASN Kidney Week 2024 Meeting.

Neuen, Wadhwani, and Barratt discuss atacicept promise in IgA nephropathy based on phase 2b ORIGIN OLE results, at-home use, and the future of kidney disease care.

New ORIGIN trial data show atacicept may slow kidney decline in IgA nephropathy to rates seen with healthy aging, with notable reductions in Gd-IgA1 and UPCR.

The data, which will be presented at a later time, may enable regulatory submission for accelerated approval to the FDA.

Kidney Compass: Navigating Clinical Trials is a multimedia podcast from HCPLive hosted by Brendon Neuen, MBBS, PhD, and Shikha Wadhwani, MD, MS, aimed at exploring the latest in clinical trials and updates in nephrology.

This September 2024 month in review spotlights our top coverage of recent nephrology pipeline updates, guidelines, and research.

Gross hematuria after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination was more likely in females, patients with IgAN/IgAV, and after the second and third vaccine doses.

Only 6.7% of patients with an abnormal protein dipstick test result had guideline-recommended follow-up albuminuria testing.

A study found pregnant patients with IgA nephropathy and adverse pregnancy outcomes were less likely to achieve proteinuria remission, though renal function remained unaffected.

Alcohol intake frequency was linked to a greater risk of IgAN, while dietary exposures like cheese, cereal, and sushi were associated with a reduced risk.

Lack of retinopathy, lower hemoglobin A1c levels, preserved eGFR, microalbuminuria, and lower UPCR were linked to non-DKD.

Study results suggest C4d is associated with worse renal survival and disease progression to kidney failure in patients with primary IgA nephropathy.

A new study found cannabis-containing cream may be effective at alleviating itch in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD)-associated pruritus with no adverse events.

The FDA has granted full approval to sparsentan (Filspari) for slowing kidney function decline in adults with IgAN at risk of disease progression based on PROTECT trial data.

The August 2024 month in review highlights our coverage of pipeline news, a cross-specialty feature about dialysis, and other recent renal news and research from the past few weeks.

Rizk discusses the recent FDA accelerated approval of iptacopan (Fabhalta) and reflects on the significance of other therapeutic developments in IgAN.
