Study to Evaluate the Impact of Iptacopan on Top of SOC on Biopsy Changes in Kidneys of Adult Patients With IgAN

Study on Iptacopan's effect on kidney biopsies in IgAN patients.

Phase 2
**Study Summary:** This study is for adults with a kidney condition called IgA nephropathy (IgAN). IgAN is when proteins called antibodies build up in the kidneys, causing damage. The study will test a medicine called iptacopan to see if it helps improve the kidneys by looking at clinical and molecular markers over 9 months. Participants will start with a screening and a baseline kidney biopsy (a small sample taken to study the kidney's condition). They will then take iptacopan, 200 mg twice a day for nine months. At the end, another biopsy will check for changes. **Key Points:** - **Duration:** The study lasts for 9 months, with several visits needed. - **Treatment:** Participants will take iptacopan and cannot change the dose during the study. - **Eligibility:** Participants must be 18 or older, have confirmed IgAN, and meet other health criteria. They must also be on specific blood pressure medications and have certain vaccinations before starting. If you're interested and meet the criteria, this study might help understand how iptacopan affects kidney health in IgAN patients.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?
