Study summary

To determine the long-term nephroprotective potential of treatment with sparsentan as compared to an angiotensin receptor blocker in patients with primary and genetic focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, parallel, active-control study. Approximately 300 patients aged 8 to 75 years (inclusive) will be enrolled in the study. The study will be conducted in approximately 300 study centers, globally. The investigational drug (sparsentan) is a dual-acting angiotensin receptor blocker and endothelin receptor antagonist. The active control is irbesartan. Patients who meet eligibility criteria will require washout from renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) blockers, if applicable prior to their first dose of study drug.

Patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either sparsentan or active control (irbesartan).

After completing the double-blind portion of the study, patients may participate in the open-label extension for treatment with sparsentan if they meet eligibility criteria.

Primary completion date represents the anticipated completion date of the double-blind portion of the study. Study completion date represents the anticipated completion date of the open-label extension portion of the study.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(12)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Slope of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)

    The total eGFR slope over 2 years, defined as the slope of eGFR following initiation of randomized treatment (ie, Day 1 to Week 108). Estimates are calculated from a mixed-effects model with treatment, Baseline eGFR, analysis visit, treatment-by-analysis visit, randomization stratification factors as fixed effects, and intercept and slope for each participant as a random effect.

    Time frame: From Day 1 to Week 108

  2. Percentage of Participants Achieving FSGS Partial Remission Endpoint (FPRE)

    Percentage of participants achieving FPRE, defined as urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UP/C) ≤1.5 grams/gram (g/g) (170 milligrams per millimoles \[mg/mmol\]) and a \>40% reduction from Baseline was analyzed using a generalized linear model to model probability of achieving FPRE. Missing responses were imputed prior to analysis using multiple imputation. A generalized linear model with appropriate link function was implemented with Baseline log (UP/C), treatment, analysis visit, treatment by analysis visit interaction, and randomization strata as fixed effects. For estimates of probability of achieving FPRE, risk difference, and odds ratio, binomial distribution with logit link was used. For relative risk, Poisson distribution with log link was used. Using Rubin's approach, estimated treatment effects are combined across all imputations to obtain overall estimates for probabilities.

    Time frame: Week 36

Secondary outcomes

  1. Slope of eGFR Following the Initial Acute Effect of Randomized Treatment

    The chronic eGFR slope over 2 years, defined as the slope of eGFR following the initial acute effect of randomized treatment (ie, Week 6 to Week 108). Estimates were calculated from a mixed-effects model with linear spline (ie, change point at Week 6), which included treatment, Baseline eGFR, time from Baseline (TFB) (weeks), time from change point (TFCP) (weeks), treatment-by-TFB and treatment-by-TFCP interactions, and randomization stratification factors as fixed effects, intercept and slopes as random effects. The slope difference was tested by the null hypothesis that the sum of the treatment-by-TFB and treatment-by-TFCP interactions = 0.

    Time frame: From Week 6 to Week 108

  2. Change From Baseline in eGFR to 4 Weeks Post-cessation of Randomized Treatment

    The change from Baseline to 4 weeks post-cessation of randomized treatment (Week 112) was analyzed via an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model on the natural log(eGFR) with treatment, Baseline eGFR, and randomization strata as fixed effects. Only participants who completed the 108-week treatment period were included. Estimated LS Mean and 95% CI are converted to percentages as follows: \[exponential (LS mean change from baseline in natural log(eGFR)) minus 1\] multiplied by 100. Baseline (Day 1) was defined as the last non-missing assessment prior to and including the first administration of study medication in the study including unscheduled assessments. Percent change from Baseline was calculated as "\[(Post Baseline minus Baseline value)/ Baseline value\] multiplied by 100.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 17, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
