Study summary

IgA nephropathy accounts for about 45 per cent of primary glomerular diseases in China and about 26 per cent of renal biopsies in patients with chronic failure.According to current guideline recommendations, there are limited indications for non-steroidal MRAs. Therefore clinical studies to explore the range of clinical indications for fenetyllone are warranted.

Read the detailed description

Primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is an immunopathological diagnostic term for a type of glomerulonephritis characterised by the deposition of IgA or IgA-dominant immune complexes in the glomerular tunica albuginea. And in China IgA nephropathy accounts for about 45% of primary glomerular diseases and about 26% of renal biopsies in patients with chronic failure. Among them, about 15-40% of IgA nephropathy patients progress to renal failure after 10-20 years; IgA nephropathy has become one of the main causes of end-stage renal failure.The nonsteroidal salicorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA)- finerenone reduces the risk of composite renal outcomes, ESKD, or renal death in patients with type 2 diabetes and CKD.There are limited indications for non-steroidal MRAs. Therefore clinical studies to explore the range of clinical indications for fenetyllone are warranted.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. percentage change in PCR from baseline to 6 months

    Collect PCR data before enrolment and at month 6 and calculate the percentage change

    Time frame: 6 month

Secondary outcomes

  1. percentage change in PCR from baseline to 1, 2 and 3 months

    Collec PCR before enrolment and at months 1, 2 and 3, then calculate the percentage change

    Time frame: 1, 2 and 3 month

  2. frequency of patients with a 30% and 50% decrease in PCR

    Calculate the number of patients with \>30% or \>50% reduction in proteinuria during the 6-month follow-up period

    Time frame: 6 month

  3. the level of change in eGFR

    Collection of eGFR before enrolment and at months 6

    Time frame: 6 month

  4. the level of change in blood sodium

    Collection of blood sodium before enrolment and at months 6

    Time frame: 6 month

  5. the level of change in serum creatinine

    Collection of serum creatinine before enrolment and at months 6

    Time frame: 6 month

  6. the level of change in albumin

    Collection of albumin before enrolment and at months 6

    Time frame: 6 month
