IgA nephropathy

Sibeprenlimab in IgAN

Barratt J, Mathur M, Liew A, et al.

Deposition of IgA-containing circulating immune complexes in the kidney is a hallmark of IgAN. Exploratory data presented at Kidney Week 2024 show the anti-APRIL antibody sibeprenlimab reduces these complexes, and correlates with reductions in UPCR.

Kidney Week 2024. Oral Session.

Iptacopan in IgAN

Rizk DV, Kollins D, Papachristofi O, et al.

Overactivation of the complement system via the alternative pathway is a key driver of IgAN pathophysiology. This interim analysis from APPLAUSE-IgAN explores the impact of iptacopan on proteinuria and complement biomarkers.

Corticosteroids in IgAN

Lohana A, Akbar U, Shah SAM, et al.

This retrospective study aimed to find out whether budesonide reduces mortality and ESRD compared to prednisone in IgAN. Results presented at Kidney Week 2024 suggest budesonide may be a superior alternative for long-term management.

IgA nephropathy

Zigakibart in IgAN

Barratt J, Workeneh B, Kim SG, et al.

New understanding around the pathogenesis of IgAN has led to the identification of novel targets and potential disease-specific treatments. Zigakibart is an anti-APRIL mAb under investigation – with new data suggesting clinically meaningful reductions in proteinuria.

SPARTACUS: Sparsentan plus SGLT2i

Ayoub I, Tang S, Kooienga L, et al.

IgAN is a rare and progressive disease, with many clinical trials ongoing. One of these is SPARTACUS, exploring the role of a non-immunosuppressive, dual endothelin angiotensin receptor antagonist in combination with stable SGLT2i.

Biomarkers in IgA-related disorders

Blasco M, Berrouet CC, Andrews LG, et al.

Biomarkers may distinguish IgAV pediatric patients with renal involvement from those without. GIGA-Kids set out to analyze different serological biomarkers and correlate them with disease status and severity in children with IgA-related disorders, with findings presented at Kidney Week 2024.
