Efficacy and Safety of Extended TARPEYO® Treatment Beyond 9 Months in Adult Patients With Primary IgA Nephropathy

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

Key information

About this study

This clinical trial will investigate the efficacy and safety of TARPEYO® treatment extended for an additional 15 months in adult IgAN participants who have completed their initial, single 9-month TARPEYO® 16 mg QD commercial treatment regimen. Participants with residual proteinuria will be eligible for enrollment. The Treatment Period will consist of a 6-month Treatment Period with TARPEYO® 16 mg QD, followed by a 9-month Treatment Period with TARPEYO® 8 mg QD. This will be followed by a 3-month Follow-up Period, which includes the first 2 weeks of Tapering Period with TARPEYO® 4 mg QD.

The overall aim of the extended treatment is to improve and maintain the treatment effect with reduced proteinuria and protection of kidney function over a total of 2 years of TARPEYO® treatment.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • 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.
  • On stable treatment with renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitor therapy or sparsentan for at least 8 weeks prior to the Baseline visit. A stable dose is defined as a dose within 25% of the dose at Baseline.
  • If on current treatment with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, the treatment should have been stable for at least 8 weeks prior to the Baseline visit. A stable dose is defined as a dose within 25% of the dose at Baseline.

Exclusion criteria

  • 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.
  • On current or planned dialysis.
  • Undergone kidney transplant.
  • Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus or hypertension, as assessed by the Investigator.
  • Participants with known osteoporosis in the medium- or high-risk category according to the 2010 American College of Rheumatology recommendations.
  • Any medical or social circumstance making trial participation and/or TARPEYO® treatment unsuitable, as assessed by the Investigator.
  • Participants with clinically significant infections that put the participant at risk, at the discretion of the Investigator.
  • Participants unwilling or unable to meet the requirements of the protocol.
  • Intake of another investigational drug during trial, or during the preceding 9-monthcommercial TARPEYO® treatment period.
  • Females who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or plan to become pregnant in the trial period.
  • Participants taking potent inhibitors of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4

Primary outcomes

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

    Time frame: 6 months

    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.

Secondary outcomes

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

    Time frame: 15 months

    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.

  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)

    Time frame: 18 months
