Study summary

About 20% children with allergic purpura develop nephritis syndrome or nephrotic syndrome, 1% to 7% to kidney failure or end-stage renal disease. Children with serious damage to health, significantly reduced quality of life and caused heavy economic burden to the family . As the pathogenesis of HSPN is complex, it is difficult to formulate an exact individualized treatment plan.

Read the detailed description

Children of Purpura nephritis with moderate protenuria(24 hours urinary protein quantitative 0.5 \~ 1.0 1.73 g/m2 and 24 hours urinary protein amount of not more than 1.0 g) in this study was choosed as participatant, plan randomly into the group of 10 cases, treated with huaiqihuang particles and valsartan for 24 weeks to analyze the curative effect and clinical value of single drug therapy for children with purpura nephritis in reducing proteinuria, protecting renal function and promoting rehabilitation.

Inclusion criteria

  1. For children diagnosed with purpura nephritis, the diagnostic criteria for purpura nephritis shall refer to the 2016 edition of Evidence-based Guideline for diagnosis and Treatment of Purpura Nephritis published by the Nephrology Group of The Chinese Medical Association Pediatrics Branch, specifically as follows: Hematuria and/or proteinuria occur within 6 months of the course of allergic purpura. The diagnostic criteria for hematuria and proteinuria are as follows: A. Hematuria: gross hematuria or ≥3 RBC/high-power field (HP) under 3 times of microscope within 1 week. B. Proteinuria: if meeting any of the following conditions: 3 routine urine tests within 1 week qualitatively indicate positive urine protein; 24h quantitative urine protein >150 mg or urine protein/creatinine (mg/mg)>0.2; Urinary microalbumin was higher than normal for 3 times within 1 week. Very few children in the acute course of allergic purpura 6 months later, recurrent purpura, hematuria and/or proteinuria for the first time, should be sought for renal , such as IgA mesangial mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis, can still be diagnosed as purpura nephritis.
  2. 24-hour urinary protein quantification of 0.5 to 1.0g/1.73m2, and the total amount does not exceed 1.0g (to be quantified in non-infectious conditions);
  3. Age: 6-14 years old;
  4. Normal renal function: ≥90ml/min/1.73m2;
  5. Other manifestations of allergic purpura: skin purpura, abdominal pain, blood stool and joint swelling and pain have been relieved, and the use of hormone or agents has been stopped for 2 weeks.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Abnormal ophthalmic examination (fundus, visual field, photosensitivity);
  2. Combined with gross hematuria;
  3. Serious diseases of the heart, liver and other important organs, as well as diseases of the blood and endocrine system;
  4. Patients who are known to be allergic to any component of Locust and wolfberry yellow or ACEI/ARB;
  5. Patients who have participated in other clinical trials within three months before enrollment;
  6. The investigator judged that the patient was not fit to participate in the study;(7) renal purpura nephritis wear results indicate Ⅲ magnitude or hints chronic purpura nephritis.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

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.

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.

Interventions

  • DrugHuaiqinhuang

    Huaiqihuang granules are composed of Huaier fungus, Fructus lycii and Huangjing. Studies have shown that huaiqihuang treatment can reduce cytokines in children with purpura nephritis interleukins IL - 4, IL - 10 and the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) expression level, prompt huaiqihuang granule treating children allergic purpura nephritis can significantly improve the clinical curative effect, improve the level of cytokines and the patient's immune function, and does not increase the incidence of adverse reactions.

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 Nov 10, 2020, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
