About this trial

This multicenter, single-arm, open-label Phase 4 pilot study evaluates the effects of atrasentan added to optimized supportive care on kidney structure and function in adults with biopsy-confirmed IgA nephropathy. Approximately 20 participants will receive atrasentan 0.75 mg orally once daily for 52 weeks. Kidney multiparametric MRI is performed at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months, with blood and urine biomarker assessments throughout treatment. An optional nested cohort of up to 5 participants undergoes native kidney biopsy at baseline and 12 months.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Signed informed consent.

Male or female ≥18 years with biopsy-confirmed IgAN; eGFR ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m² for main cohort; >40 mL/min/1.73 m² for optional biopsy cohort.

Screening UPCR ≥0.5 g/g measured by first morning void.

Maximally tolerated or locally approved maximal ACEi/ARB dose before enrollment; diuretics, other antihypertensives and SGLT2i, if used, stabilized for at least 90 days before baseline.

Disqualifiers

Hypersensitivity to study treatment/excipients or similar drug classes.

CKD primarily attributable to non-IgAN etiology.

Suspected RPGN or IgA vasculitis.

Nephrotic syndrome.
