Clinical Trials
The IgA Nephropathy Foundation is working with the partners below to provide our patients access to breakthrough clinical trials. Patient participation is the key to finding treatment and the ultimate cure for IgA Nephropathy. Read more about each trial below to see if you are eligible.
The ALIGN Study: The ALIGN Study is testing an investigational medication called atrasentan that has the potential to reduce the amount of protein in urine and preserve kidney function in patients with IgA nephropathy.

ADU-CL-19 Trial is a Phase 1, Multicenter Trial to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of BION-1301 in Healthy Volunteers and Adults with IgA Nephropathy. The primary objective of the trial is to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of BION-1301 in healthy volunteers and patients with IgAN.
APPLAUSE-IgAN is a Phase 3 global clinical trial that will look at the effects of an investigational drug, iptacopan (LNP023), in people with IgAN. The trial will study the effects of iptacopan (LNP023) on reducing inflammation and kidney damage in people with IgAN.
Artemis-IGAN Clinical Trial: Omeros Corporation is sponsoring the ARTEMIS-IGAN clinical trial, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 study of the safety and efficacy of narsoplimab in patients with immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy.

EPPIK clinical study for children with rare kidney diseases is now enrolling. Your child may be eligible to participate in the EPPIK Study if your child:
• Is between 1-17 years of age living in the US, UK and several countries in Europe
• Has been diagnosed with FSGS, IgAN, IgAV, MCD or Alport syndrome
• Is not on dialysis and has not had a transplant
Talk with your doctor and family members about joining the EPPIK Study.
Sites are open and currently recruiting.
Travere Therapeutics is now enrolling children ages 1 to 17 years with rare kidney diseases in the EPPIK clinical study. The EPPIK study will evaluate the investigational drug, sparsentan, for the treatment of selected rare kidney diseases. Kidneys are important organs that filter waste products from blood into the urine. The rare kidney diseases included in the EPPIK study are characterized by gradual loss of kidney function and increased protein in the urine (proteinuria).
Proteinuria is seen as a marker of kidney function and lowering its level is associated with slowing down the loss of kidney function and better kidney outcomes. Our investigational approach is to lower proteinuria levels with sparsentan and slow the loss of kidney function in children with:
• Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)
• Minimal change disease (MCD)
• IgA nephropathy (IgAN), also known as Berger’s disease
• IgA vasculitis (IgAV), also known as Henoch-Schönlein purpura
• Alport syndrome (AS)
Currently, treatment options are limited and there are no approved treatment options for children with these conditions.
The study is open-label, which means all study participants will be receiving
sparsentan, and you and your child will always know how much of the
investigational drug your child is receiving.

While immunosuppressive medicines (also known as anti-rejection medicines) are used to prevent the immune system from rejecting the new kidney, they carry the risk of infection, cancer, neurotoxicity (difficulty sleeping, tremor or tingling sensations in the limbs), and other health complications that may affect the longevity of your newly transplanted kidney, including nephrotoxicity (abnormal kidney function), diabetes (high blood sugar), and cardiovascular (heart) disease.
The goal of the FREEDOM-1 and FREEDOM-2 clinical trials is to help determine if a living donor kidney transplant and a stem cell transplant with investigational cell therapy could help prevent the rejection of the donor’s kidney and eliminate the need for life-long immunosuppressive medicines.
Together, can we unlock a future free from immunosuppression?

Phase 2 RC18 IgAN Study: is seeking volunteers for participation in this study evaluating an investigational new drug to determine if it can treat IgAN. A clinical study using this investigational new drug in China showed potential benefits in treating IgAN by reducing urine protein. However, more clinical data is needed to further evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Telitacicept in IgAN patients.
If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with IgA Nephropathy (IgAN) and are interested in exploring the option of clinical trial participation, send an email to RC18_IGANstudy@remegenbio.com with your name, phone and zip code. Your contact information will be shared with the nearest study site who can answer all of your questions and help to determine if you are eligible to participate in the study.

Phase 2 ALXN1210-NEPH-202 Study (clinicaltrials.gov NCT04564339)
Purpose of Study:
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy (effectiveness against disease) of the study medication (ALXN1210 also known as ravulizumab or ULTOMIRIS ®) in participants with lupus nephritis (LN) or immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), a rare chronic kidney disease.

VT-001-0050 ORIGIN Trial: The ORIGIN trial is researching an investigatial medication called ataceipt in people with IgAN. The goal of the study is to measure the effectiveness of the study medication at improving kidney function by preventing damage caused from inflammation due to the build up of IgA.
VISIONARY: A Phase 3 clinical trial of sibeprenlimab for adults with IgA Nephropathy. Targeting a brighter future for IgAN patients.
