Study Description

Brief Summary:
The ASSIST study is a phase 2, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of atrasentan vs. placebo in subjects with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) while on background standard of care therapy and an SGLT2 inhibitor (SGLT2i).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
IgA Nephropathy Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy Drug: Atrasentan Drug: Placebo Phase 2

Detailed Description:

Approximately 52 patients with biopsy-proven IgAN on a background SGLT2i and a maximally tolerated and stable dose of a renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitor [such as angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or angiotensin-receptor antagonist (ARB)] as part of standard of care, will be randomized to either sequence AB or sequence BA in which they will receive 0.75 mg atrasentan once daily during one period (period A), complete a 12-week washout period, and then receive matching placebo during the other period (period B) as determined by the randomization schema.

Subjects who are not on background SGLT2i therapy must be willing to undergo a run-in period of 8 weeks with an SGLT2i.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of atrasentan vs. placebo while on background therapy with SGLT2i.

Subjects will have safety and efficacy assessments for 1 year (52 weeks).

  • Biopsy-proven IgA nephropathy.
  • Receiving a maximally tolerated and stable dose of RAS inhibitor therapy (ACEi or ARB) for at least 12 weeks prior to screening. Investigator discretion should be used in determining maximally tolerated and stable dose.
  • eGFR of at least 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 at screening based on the CKD-EPI equation.
  • Willing to agree to highly effective forms of contraception, as specified in the protocol, throughout the study and for up to 1 month afterward. In WOCBP, use of hormonal contraceptive agents must have been started at least 1 month prior to baseline.
  • Willing and able to provide informed consent and comply with all study requirements.

  • Inclusion Criteria for SGLT2i stable subjects

    • Receiving a stable dose of an SGLT2i for at least 8 weeks prior to screening
    • Must have a 24-hour urine protein of >0.5 grams/day.

  • Inclusion Criteria for Run-In Subjects

    • Must have a 24-hour total urine protein of >0.85 grams/day at screening
    • Willing to participate in an 8-week run-in period with an SGLT2i (per Investigator choice)

  • Additional Inclusion Criteria for Run-in Subjects at the end of Run-In

    • Must have completed the 8-week run-in period on a stable and well tolerated dose of an SGLT2i
    • Must have a 24-hour total urine protein of >0.5 grams/day confirmed at the Week -1 Visit
    • Must have an eGFR of ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 based on the CKD-EPI equation at the Week -1 Visit
  • Receiving treatment with SGLT2i at a stable dose for at least 8 weeks prior to screening.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Current diagnosis with another chronic kidney disease, including diabetic kidney disease.
  • History of kidney transplantation or other organ transplantation.
  • Use of systemic immunosuppressant medications, such as steroids, for more than 2 weeks in the past 3 months.
  • Blood pressure above 150 mmHg systolic or 95 mmHg diastolic as evaluated by the Investigator.
  • Known history of heart failure or a previous hospital admission for fluid overload.
  • Clinically significant history of liver disease as assessed by the Investigator.
  • Hemoglobin below 9 g/dL as measured by the Investigator or prior history of blood transfusion for anemia within the past 3 months.
