New drug aims to slow kidney disease in IgA nephropathy patients
NCT ID NCT07354932
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This Phase 2 trial tests an investigational drug called SHR-2173 in 84 adults with primary IgA nephropathy, a kidney disease. Participants receive either a high, medium, or low dose of SHR-2173 or a placebo for 48 weeks. The main goal is to see if the drug reduces protein in the urine, a sign of kidney damage.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SHR-2173 injection
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option to control IgA nephropathy and reduce kidney damage.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 84 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not work better than placebo, and side effects are still being studied.
