About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of extended TARPEYO® (delayed-release budesonide capsules) treatment in adult patients with primary IgA nephropathy who have completed 9 months of TARPEYO® 16 mg once daily treatment in real-world clinical practice. The main question it aims to answer is:

Is there a treatment benefit of TARPEYO® 16 mg QD extended use?

Participants will

* take part in this study for about 19 months * Have urine tests done * Have blood samples taken * Have physical examinations done

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Diagnosed IgAN with biopsy verification

Female or male participants ≥18 years of age

Completion of a single, initial 9 months of treatment with TARPEYO® 16 mg QD at the Baseline visit

Access to retrospective local laboratory assessment data on UPCR and serum creatinine. Available retrospective data should include at least 1 assessment timepoint within 3 months prior to the first dose of TARPEYO® commercial treatment.

Disqualifiers

Participants who have been treated with systemic immunosuppressive medications including glucocorticosteroids (GCS) other than TARPEYO® during the TARPEYO® commercial treatment period. Topical or inhalation products containing GCS or immunosuppressants are allowed.

Presence of other glomerulopathies (e.g., C3 glomerulopathy, diabetes nephropathy and/or hypertensive nephropathy).

Presence of nephrotic syndrome (i.e., proteinuria >3.5 g per day and serum albumin <3.0 g/dL, with or without edema).

Presence of medical condition excluding continued TARPEYO® treatment, as assessed by the Investigator.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Ratio of Urine Protein to Creatine Ratio (UPCR) at 6 months compared to Baseline

The outcome is measured as UPCR (based on 24-hour urine collection) at 6 months following the first dose of TARPEYO® trial treatment compared to study Baseline. Ratio being UPCR at 6 months in g/gram divided with UPCR at Baseline in g/gram.

Time frame
6 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Ratio of Urine Protein to Creatine Ratio (UPCR) at 15 months compared to Baseline

The outcome is measured as UPCR (based on 24-hour urine collection) at 15 months following the first dose of TARPEYO® trial treatment compared to study Baseline. Ratio being UPCR at 15 months in g/gram divided with UPCR at Baseline in g/gram.

Time frame
15 months
2

Ratio of Urine Protein to Creatine Ratio (UPCR) at 6 months compared to prior to start of TARPEYO® commercial treatment (i.e., comparison with retrospective local laboratory data from medical records as available)

Ratio of UPCR (based on 24-hour urine collection) at 6 months compared to prior to start of TARPEYO® commercial treatment (i.e., comparison with retrospective local laboratory data from medical records as available). Retrospective data will be collected up to 3 months prior to start of commercial treatment and during the duration of the commercial treatment. Ratio being UPCR at 6 months in g/gram divided with UPCR prior to commercial treatment in g/gram

Time frame
18 months
3

Ratio of Urine Protein to Creatine Ratio (UPCR) at 15 months compared to prior to start of TARPEYO® commercial treatment (i.e., comparison with retrospective local laboratory data from medical records as available)

Ratio of UPCR (based on 24-hour urine collection) at 15 months compared to prior to start of TARPEYO® commercial treatment (i.e., comparison with retrospective local laboratory data from medical records as available). Retrospective data will be collected up to 3 months prior to start of commercial treatment and during the duration of the commercial treatment. Ratio being UPCR at 6 months in g/gram divided with UPCR prior to commercial treatment in g/gram

Time frame
27 months
4

Ratio of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at 6 months compared to Baseline

The outcome is measured as ratio of eGFR in mL/min/1.73 m2 (calculated using the CKD-EPI formula) at 6 months following the first dose of TARPEYO® trial treatment compared to study baseline.

Time frame
6 months
