This study looks at the long-term safety of a drug called iptacopan for adults with a kidney disease called primary IgA nephropathy. Participants have already completed earlier studies and will continue taking the drug to monitor side effects and see if it helps slow kidney damag…

This study tests a drug called sparsentan for people who have protein in their urine after a kidney transplant due to IgA nephropathy or FSGS. About 20 adults will take the drug once daily for 36 weeks to see if it safely reduces protein levels and protects kidney function. The g…

This phase 3 trial tests ravulizumab, a drug that blocks part of the immune system, against a placebo in 579 adults with IgA nephropathy—a kidney disease that can lead to kidney failure. The goal is to see if ravulizumab reduces protein in the urine and preserves kidney function …

This study looks at the long-term safety and effects of atacicept in people with IgA nephropathy, a kidney disease. Participants have already completed a previous trial with atacicept. Researchers will monitor side effects and measure kidney function over time to see if the drug …

This phase 3 trial tests whether the drug atrasentan can slow kidney function loss in people with IgA nephropathy, a disease that can lead to kidney failure. About 404 participants receive either atrasentan or a placebo, along with standard care. The main goal is to see if atrase…

This phase 2 study tests the drug atrasentan in 103 adults with various kidney diseases that cause protein leakage, including IgA nephropathy and FSGS. Participants take a daily tablet to see if it reduces protein in urine, a sign of kidney damage. The goal is to find a new way t…

This phase 3 trial tests whether the drug povetacicept can reduce protein in the urine and preserve kidney function in adults with IgA nephropathy, a kidney disease. About 605 participants will receive either the drug or a placebo by injection. The study is active but not recruit…

This study looks at the long-term safety of a drug called sibeprenlimab for people with IgA nephropathy, a kidney disease. About 600 adults who completed earlier trials of this drug will continue receiving it for up to 2 more years. Researchers will track side effects and measure…

This Phase 3 trial tests sparsentan, a new drug, against irbesartan (a standard treatment) in 406 adults with IgA nephropathy, a kidney disease. The goal is to see if sparsentan better protects kidney function over about 2 years. Participants must have significant protein in thei…

This study tests a drug called atacicept given once a month to people with IgA nephropathy, a kidney disease that can lead to kidney failure. The goal is to see if monthly dosing lowers harmful antibodies and reduces protein in the urine, which are signs of kidney damage. About 9…

This study tests the long-term safety and effectiveness of pegcetacoplan in 100 people with two rare kidney diseases, C3 glomerulopathy and IC-MPGN. Participants previously completed a one-year trial and saw benefit from the drug. The goal is to see if pegcetacoplan can keep redu…

This phase 3 study tests BION-1301 (Zigakibart) in 383 adults with IgA nephropathy, a kidney disease that can lead to kidney failure. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo as a shot every 2 weeks for 2 years. The main goal is to see if the drug helps preserve kidney f…

This study tests whether a daily dose of alpha lipoic acid, an antioxidant supplement, can lower the risk of heart problems in 50 children who are on regular hemodialysis. Participants will either take the supplement or a placebo pill for a period, and researchers will monitor fo…

This study tests whether a pharmacist-led program can help people reduce their risk of heart disease. Over 1,000 adults with conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or obesity are taking part. Pharmacists use a step-by-step guide to assess risk and support lifestyle change…

This study tests a drug called telitacicept in 318 adults with IgA nephropathy, a kidney disease that can lead to kidney failure. Participants are at high risk of worsening despite standard blood pressure medications. The goal is to see if telitacicept can reduce protein in the u…

This program provides early access to pegcetacoplan for people aged 12 and older with C3 glomerulopathy or primary IC-MPGN, rare kidney diseases that can lead to kidney failure. Participants must have active disease with significant protein in their urine. The goal is to offer a …

This study tests a new drug called povetacicept in adults with certain autoimmune kidney diseases, including lupus nephritis and IgA nephropathy. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and can help control the disease. Participants receive the drug every 4 weeks for at least 6 mo…

This study tests whether dapagliflozin, a drug used in adults for diabetes and kidney protection, can reduce protein leakage in the urine of children with chronic kidney disease. Ten children aged 4 to 18 with persistent proteinuria despite standard therapy will take the drug, an…

This phase 3 trial tests atacicept, a weekly injection, in 376 adults with IgA nephropathy (Berger's disease). The goal is to reduce protein in the urine and slow the loss of kidney function. Participants receive either atacicept or a placebo for about a year. The study is active…

This study offers voluntary screening for newborns in North Carolina to detect a wide range of rare health conditions early. Using a small blood sample already collected at birth, the program tests for dozens of disorders, including spinal muscular atrophy, cystic fibrosis, and m…

This study follows up to 500 people with acute or chronic inflammatory disorders, such as infections or immune problems, over time. Researchers will monitor participants with standard tests and may screen them for other studies. The goal is to better understand these conditions a…

This study collects blood, urine, and tissue samples from 330 adults with advanced lung or head and neck cancer to improve precision medicine. Researchers will analyze genetic changes in these samples and grow some tumors in mice to compare DNA. The goal is to refine liquid biops…

This study gathers MRI, CT, and ultrasound images from 300 adults—some healthy, some with kidney or brain disease—to build a collection for future not-for-profit research. No new treatments are being tested; the goal is to make medical images available to scientists for advancing…
