NCT ID NCT07030894

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether combining budesonide (Nefecon) and ambrisentan can reduce protein in the urine and preserve kidney function in people with IgA nephropathy who are at risk of kidney failure. About 129 adults will take both pills daily for 36 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in urine protein, kidney filtration rate, and immune markers to see if the combination is safe and effective.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

budesonide (Nefecon) and ambrisentan

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could offer a new way to slow kidney damage and delay the need for dialysis or transplant in people with IgA nephropathy.

What could go wrong

This is a single-arm, early-phase trial with no placebo group, so results may be less reliable. Side effects from the drugs are possible, and the benefit may not be confirmed in larger studies.
