About this study

This prospective study aims to investigate the role of IR-Seq in the diagnosis and disease monitoring in patients with IgA nephropathy.

Read the detailed description

Autoimmunity may play an important role in IgA nephropathy, and previous studies have shown that immune repertoire sequencing (IR-Seq) may help elucidate the dynamic changes of immune repertoire (IR) in autoimmune disease states. To further explore the potential application value of this technology, we will conduct a series of prospective studies to investigate the role of IR-Seq in the diagnosis and disease monitoring in patients with IgA nephropathy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Intervention for incipient patients at low risk of disease progressionDrug

    Conservative treatment, if necessary use ACEI/ARB and titrated to the maximum tolerated dose, with a BP-lowering goal of < 130/80 mm Hg

  • Intervention for patients at high risk of disease progressionDrug

    BP-lowering goal of < 125/75 mm Hg and treat with steroids or steroids combined with immunosuppressants based on optimal supportive therapy:

    1. If GFR>60 ml/min/1.73m^2, oral prednisone 0.6-0.8 mg/kg/day ( (maximum dose 48 mg/day) for 2 months, followed by a monthly dose reduction of 8 mg for 24 weeks.
    2. If GFR is 30-60 ml/min/1.73m^2, intravenous cyclophosphamide (CTX) 750 mg per month per m^2 for 6 months, along with oral prednisone (at the same dose as 1); if intravenous administration is unacceptable, then the above regimen was replaced with oral mycophenolate mofetil 500 mg bid for 24 weeks.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Urinary protein remission rate

    Including complete and partial remission rate of urinary protein. Complete remission criteria: post-treatment urine protein <0.3 g/24h; partial remission criteria: post-treatment urine protein <50% of the maximum value.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. 24-hour urine protein level

    Measured: 24 weeks

  2. Serum albumin level

    Measured: 24 weeks

  3. eGFR (estimated using the 2009 CKD-EPI formula)

    Measured: 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of IgA Nephropathy, run by Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Urinary protein remission rate (time frame: 24 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Aug 2020.
