New drug aims to slow kidney damage in IgA nephropathy
NCT ID NCT07390123
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests an experimental tablet called HSK39297 in 370 adults with IgA nephropathy, a kidney disease. The goal is to see if the drug can reduce protein in the urine and slow down kidney function decline over 36 to 48 weeks. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the drug or a placebo, and neither they nor their doctors will know which they are getting.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subjects must have signed and dated an IRB/IEC approved written informed consent form.Subjects must be willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment schedule, laboratory tests, tumor biopsies, and other requirements of the study. 2. Female and male patients above 18 years of age. 3. Patients must weigh at least 35 kg to participate in the study, and must have a body mass index (BMI) below 35 kg/m2. BMI = Body weight (kg) / \[Height (m)\]2 4. Subjects with a biopsy-verified IgA nephropathy and where the biopsy was performed within the prior ten years. 5. 24h-UPCR ≥0.75g/g or 24h-UPE≥1.0g/24h at screening. 6. Measured Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) or estimated GFR (using the CKD-EPI formula 2021) ≥30 mL/min per 1.73 m2.For patients with eGFR\* 20 to \<30ml/min/1.73m2, a qualifying biopsy performed in two years. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Use of other investigational drugs at the time of enrollment, or within 5 half-lives of enrollment, or within 90 days, whichever is longer. 2. All transplanted patients (any organ, including bone marrow). 3. History of malignancy of any organ system (other than localized basal cell carcinoma of the skin or in-situ cervical cancer). 4. Any surgical or medical condition which might significantly alter the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of drugs, or which may jeopardize the subject in case of participation in the study. 5. Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women. 6. Plasma donation (≥ 400mL) within 12 weeks prior to first dosing.
