Mapping the Real-World treatment landscape for IgA nephropathy
NCT ID NCT07757048
First seen Aug 11, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how IgA nephropathy, a kidney disease, is actually treated in the United States. By analyzing medical records from thousands of patients, researchers aim to understand which therapies are used, in what order, and for how long. The goal is to see how current treatments perform in everyday practice, which could help improve future care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- This study could reveal which treatments are most commonly used and how they perform in real life, potentially guiding better care strategies for IgA nephropathy.
- What could go wrong
- As an observational study, it cannot prove cause and effect, and results may be limited by data accuracy or missing information.

Inclusion criteria: IgAN Cohort: * Renal biopsy confirming IgAN during the patient identification period. * Age ≥18 at index. The index date was the date of first claim or biopsy. * ≥182 days of continuous enrollment in medical and pharmacy claims before index date. * ≥365 days of continuous enrollment in medical and pharmacy claims following (and including) index date. Treatment Escalation Cohort: * Renal biopsy confirming IgAN during the patient identification period. * Age ≥18 at index. * ≥182 days of continuous enrollment in medical and pharmacy claims before index date. * ≥182 days of continuous enrollment in medical and pharmacy claims following (and including) index date. * Evidence of treatment with a renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitor (RAASi) for \> 3 months following IgAN diagnosis date. * ≥1 urine protein creatinine ratio (UPCR) lab measurement following the index date. Exclusion Criteria: IgAN Cohort: • Presence of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), lupus nephritis (LN), IgA vasculitis (IgAV), chronic liver disease, and Minimal Change Disease (MCD) with IgA deposition at any time during the study period. Treatment Escalation Cohort: * Presence of SLE, LN, IgAV, chronic liver disease, and MCD with IgA deposition at any time during the study period. * Any evidence of kidney failure as defined by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \<15 ml/min/1.73 m², International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) codes for chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5, Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes for kidney transplant or dialysis prior to RAASi initiation. * Received any corticosteroids/mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), or IgAN branded therapies prior to the end of the 90 days of RAASi treatment.
