About this study

Official title: A Single-arm, Forward-looking, Exploratory Clinical Study of Telitacicept in Patients With Refractory IgA Nephropathy

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the effectiveness and safety of Telitacicept in adults with refractory IgA nephropathy.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Telitacicept in patients with refractory IgA nephropathy.
  • To evaluate the safety and adverse reaction of Telitacicept in patients with refractory IgA nephropathy.

Participants will be subcutaneously injected with 240mg of Telitacicept once per week.

Study subject: After 6 months of sequential treatment with renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers or glucocorticoids, patients with pathological biopsy of 0.7≥5 g/24 hours of proteinuria was confirmed as refractory IgA nephropathy.

Conditions
IgA Nephropathy
Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Complete clinical response

    1. Proteinuria: protein-to-creatinine ratio <0.2; b. Stable renal function: eGFR decreased by less than 5ml/min/1.73m2 from baseline at the end of the 3-year trial phase.

    Measured: 3-year

  2. The absolute value of eGFR

    The absolute value of eGFR decreased by more than 15 ml/min/1.73m2 over 3 years from baseline

    Measured: 3-year

  3. Changes in 24-hour urinary protein

    Changes in 24-hour urinary protein at week 104 compared with baseline.

    Measured: 104 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. eGFR decrease

    The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decreased by more than 30 ml/min/1.73 m2 from baseline.

    Measured: 3-year

  2. Need for dialysis

    progression to end-stage renal disease

    Measured: 3-year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Telitacicept in people with IgA Nephropathy, run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang 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 6 inclusion and 16 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 24 Feb 2023. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Complete clinical response (time frame: 3-year). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 Feb 2023.
