Finerenone for adults with IgA nephropathy
Official title: Finerenone in Patients With IgA-nephropathy: Prospective Interventional Trial
Run by Botkin Hospital · NCT07056595 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial will try finerenone, a nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor blocker, to lower excess urine albumin in adults with biopsy-proven IgA nephropathy who are on stable kidney-protective medications.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults over 18 with biopsy-proven IgA nephropathy, 24-hour urine albumin >300 mg, controlled blood pressure, and on stable RAAS and/or SGLT2 inhibitor therapy for at least three months are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
People with prior kidney transplant, eGFR <20 ml/min, active or recent malignancy, ongoing immunosuppressive treatment, positive ANCA, uncontrolled blood pressure, recent myocardial infarction or stroke, pregnancy, or breastfeeding are unlikely to be eligible or to benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a prospective interventional trial testing finerenone in adults with biopsy-confirmed IgA nephropathy and significant albuminuria. Eligible participants must have 24-hour urine albumin excretion over 300 mg, controlled blood pressure, and stable treatment with RAAS blockers and/or SGLT2 inhibitors for at least three months. Participants will receive finerenone and be monitored for changes in albuminuria, kidney function (eGFR), serum potassium, and adverse events. The trial is conducted at a single center (Botkin Hospital, Moscow) with predefined exclusion criteria including low eGFR, prior transplant, active malignancy, ongoing immunosuppression, and recent major cardiovascular events.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If effective, finerenone could reduce albuminuria and help slow kidney damage in people with IgA nephropathy, possibly delaying need for dialysis or transplant.
How similar studies have gone: Large trials in CKD with type 2 diabetes (FIGARO‑DKD and FIDELIO, pooled as FIDELITY) showed finerenone reduces albuminuria and provides cardiorenal benefit, but its effects specifically in IgA nephropathy are less well studied.
