Sponsored by Travere Therapeutics, Inc. · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
To evaluate the safety, efficacy and tolerability of sparsentan oral suspension and tablets, and assess changes in proteinuria after once-daily dosing over 108 weeks.
This is a multicenter, open-label, 112-week study of sparsentan in approximately 67 pediatric subjects aged ≥1 year to \<18 years with selected proteinuric glomerular diseases, divided into 3 populations, defined as follows:
The study will evaluate long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy with pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluations at Day 1 (Baseline), Day 2 (Visit 4), and Week 12 (Visit 9) in Population 1 and Population 2. In Population 3, PK values will be evaluated at Day 1 (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, and 96. For Population 1 and Population 2, subjects will be enrolled in 3 cohorts based on age ranges. For Population 3, subjects will be enrolled in one cohort.
Study Enrollment:
Population 1: FSGS and/or MCD (30 subjects total)
Population 2: IgAN, IgAV, or AS (27 subjects total)

Inclusion Criteria for All Subjects (All Three Populations):
A subject must meet all of the following criteria to be eligible for participation in this study:
Inclusion Criteria for Population 1:
Note: The kidney biopsy may have been performed at any time in the past but must include light microscopy and electron microscopy characteristics and/or immunofluorescence findings consistent with FSGS or MCD.
Inclusion Criteria for Population 2:
Inclusion Criteria for Population 3:
Exclusion Criteria for All Subjects (All Three Populations):
A subject who meets any of the following will be excluded from this study:
Note: Before menarche, pregnancy testing and contraceptive use are not required. However, subjects and their parents/legal guardians must be advised that, immediately upon menarche, subjects will be required to begin pregnancy testing and initiate contraceptive use. This requirement cannot be waived.
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.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
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.
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.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
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.
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.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
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).
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.
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.
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.
