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 volunteersQualifiers
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.).

Treatments tested in this trial
Telitacicept 240mg
DrugPatients 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
DrugPatients 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.
