The overall aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of Nefecon 16 mg per day in the treatment of patients with primary IgAN (Immunoglobulin A nephropathy) at risk of progressing to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), despite maximum tolerated treatment with renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockade using angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin II type I receptor blockers (ARBs).
This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of oral Nefecon compared to matching placebo in patients with primary IgAN on a background of optimized RAS inhibitor therapy. The study will consist of 2 parts, Part A and Part B. Part A will include a 9 month blinded Treatment Period, and a 3-month Follow up Period. Part B of the study will consist of a 12-month observational Follow up Period; no study drug will be administered during Part B. Part A and B will be blinded. Safety will be monitored by an independent Data Safety Monitoring Board.
Nefecon 16 mg for daily administration by mouth for 9 months.
Placebo capsules for daily administration by mouth for 9 months.
