Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with biopsy-confirmed primary IgA nephropathy within 8 years, persistent proteinuria despite optimized RAS blocker therapy, weight ≥35 kg, BMI <37.5 kg/m2, and eGFR ≥30 ml/min/1.73 m2 are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

People with advanced kidney failure (eGFR <30), minimal or no proteinuria, unconfirmed IgA nephropathy, or those planning pregnancy or fertility procedures are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

What this trial studies

This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled trial randomizes participants to HRS-5965 capsules or matching placebo while continuing optimized supportive therapy including RAS blockade. Eligible participants must have biopsy-confirmed primary IgA nephropathy (within 8 years), persistent proteinuria (24‑hour urine protein ≥1.0 g or UPCR ≥0.8 g/g), and eGFR ≥30 ml/min/1.73 m2. The study monitors efficacy and safety outcomes related to proteinuria and kidney function during the treatment period. Trial procedures, dosing, and duration are defined in the study protocol and managed at participating clinical sites.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, HRS-5965 could lower proteinuria and help slow kidney function loss in people with primary IgA nephropathy.

How similar studies have gone: Other therapies that reduce proteinuria have improved outcomes in IgA nephropathy, but HRS-5965 appears to be a novel agent with limited publicly available Phase 3 results to date.
