IgA Nephropathy

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

Jonathan Barratt, PhD, discusses his excitement surrounding data and programming at the American Society of Nephrology's Kidney Week 2024, with a focus on IgAN.

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.

Barratt reflects on recent therapeutic developments in IgAN, the most recent being the full FDA approval of sparsentan (Filspari), and the importance of preventing kidney failure.

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.

The majority of highly suspected COVID-19 vaccine-associated glomerular disease cases were diagnosed as immunoglobulin A nephropathy and eventually improved with treatment.

Results suggest the potential utility of several nutritional indexes for reflecting IgAN severity and predicting end-stage renal disease risk.

Findings from the bidirectional 2-sample Mendelian randomization study suggest a strong positive causal association between atopic dermatitis and IgAN.

Findings suggest increased intensity of IgM deposits in patients with positive IgM deposition may contribute to adverse clinicopathologic presentation and clinical outcomes.

The updated pediatric IgAN prediction tool allows clinicians to assess risk of disease progression 1-2 years post-biopsy.

Findings from a prespecified secondary analysis of the reduced-dose cohort of the TESTING trial suggest the efficacy of a lower dose of oral methylprednisolone in IgA nephropathy.

On August 07, 2024, Novartis announced the FDA's accelerated approval of iptacopan for reducing proteinuria in primary IgAN based on interim data from APPLAUSE-IgAN.

Study findings suggest the need for individualized management of patients with IgAN following COVID-19 infection based on baseline renal function status.

Findings support the use of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists for the short-term reduction of proteinuria in patients with IgAN.

This July 2024 month in review highlights renal pipeline updates, new patient-focused CKD guidelines, and other top nephrology news and research.
