What this trial studies

This observational study aims to capture the full spectrum of symptoms, treatment patterns, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) using the Folia Health platform. Participants will enroll through a mobile app, complete an initial 6-month data collection period involving surveys and monthly check-ins, and can continue tracking their health outcomes for personal use afterward. The data collected may also be integrated with Novartis's APPRISE data platform for further analysis over two years.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the disease burden and treatment patterns of IgAN, potentially leading to improved patient care and management strategies.

How similar studies have gone: While similar observational studies have been conducted, this specific approach utilizing a mobile app for real-time data collection is relatively novel.
