Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18-60 with biopsy-confirmed primary IgA nephropathy, eGFR ≥ 30, stable ACEi/ARB therapy for ≥12 weeks, and UPC ≥ 0.75 g/g.

Probably not a fit

Patients with secondary IgA nephropathy, other CKD causes, or rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis may not benefit from this trial.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is an open-label, Phase 2 trial evaluating JADE101 in adults with biopsy-confirmed IgA nephropathy. Eligible participants must have stable ACE inhibitor or ARB therapy for at least 12 weeks, an estimated GFR of at least 30 mL/min/1.73 m2, and a UPC of 0.75 g/g or higher. The study will monitor safety and efficacy outcomes to better characterize JADE101 in this patient population. Participating sites are in Chula Vista, CA, and Arvada and Denver, Colorado. The lead sponsor is Jade Biosciences, Inc., with no listed collaborators.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, JADE101 could offer a new treatment option that may help reduce kidney damage in IgA nephropathy.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies in similar approaches have shown signals of safety and potential efficacy in IgA nephropathy, but this exact JADE101 experience is novel.
