About this trial

A study to evaluate efficacy and safety of telitacicept in the treatment of patients with primary IgA nephropathy at high risk of progression.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

18-70 years old, male or female

Primary IgA nephropathy confirmed by renal biopsy.

Urine protein ≥ 0.75g/24h or 24-hour urine protein creatinine ratio (PCR) ≥ 0.6 g/g.

eGFR ≥ 25 ml/min/1.73 m2 calculated using the CKD-EPI formula.

Disqualifiers

Patients with abnormal laboratory indicators (see study protocol for details).

Secondary IgA nephropathy such as Henoch-Schonlein purpura, SLE, cirrhosis, etc.

Use of systemic glucocorticoids/immunosuppressants within 3 months (such as cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, leflunomide, tacrolimus, cyclosporine, tripterygium wilfordii, etc.).

Use of biological agents within 6 months (rituximab, etc.).

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Telitacicept 240mg

    Drug

    Patients in telitacicept group will be treated with maximum tolerable dose of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor ( ACEI ) and/or angiotensin II receptor blocker ( ARB ) combined with telitacicept. 240 mg telitacicept will be used once a week for 40 weeks.

  • Glucocorticoid

    Drug

    Patients in glucocorticoid group will be treated with ACEI/ARB and glucocorticoid ( prednisone/prednisolone) 0.5mg/kg (maximum 40mg/d). After 8 weeks, reduce the dosage by 5 mg per month for a total of 28-40 weeks.

Treatment groups

118 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Telitacicept+ACEI/ARBExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Glucocorticoids+ACEI/ARBActive comparator 1 intervention
