Preserve and Prevent: Expert Perspectives on Optimizing
Outcomes in Patients With IgAN

Learning Objectives

Utilize evidence-based approaches to stratify risk and guide treatment decisions
in patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN)

Appraise efficacy and safety data from pivotal clinical trials evaluating recently
approved therapies for IgAN

Recognize practical considerations for the use of recently approved therapies
used in the management of IgAN

Establish evidence-based treatment strategies to optimize outcomes in the
management of IgAN

This PeerVoice educational activity has been developed in partnership with KDIGO.
This activity is supported by an educational grant from Calliditas Therapeutics.

Pathogenesis of IgA Nephropathy (IgAN):

The “Four Hit” Hypothesis

+ Hit 1: Increased production/

circulation of

galactose-deficient IgAl

Hit 2: Production of

auto-antibodies against

galactose-deficient IgAl

+ Hit 3: Formation of circulating
immune complexes

+ Hit 4: Deposition of circulating
immune complexes in glomerular
mesangium

+ Peyer's patches thought to be main
source of conventional surface
IgAl-expressing primed
mucosal B cells

+ By contrast, the adjacent lamina
propria is principally an effector site,
where surface IgA-expressing
primed mucosal B cells terminally
differentiate to plasma cells that
produce IgA

+ IgA is then transported across the
mucosal epithelium as secretory IgA

KDIGO 2025: Diagnosis of IgAN

IgA-dominant glomerulonephritis

+ IgA vasculitis
+ IRAN secondary to:
Viral infection (HIV, hepatitis)
~ Inflammatory bowel disease
Autoimmune disease
Liver cirrhosis
+ IBA-dominant infection-related GN

= i. ae
Treat primary
process

*Akey change in the 2025 guideline is a
recommendation to ensure an early diagnosis
and prompt treatment of IgAN

+ Akidney biopsy should be considered in all
adults with proteinuria 20.5 g/d (or equivalent)
in whom IgAN Is suspected

‘Quantify progression risk
at diagnosis using
International IgAN Prediction Tool
to inform discussions with
patients for shared decision-making

Patients and their caregivers
should be provided information
on national and international
patient advocacy organizations
for disease management
education and peer support

Secondary causes of
disease must be
ruled out

Diagnosis requires a
kidney biopsy: There
are still no validated
blood or urine tests
to diagnose IgAN
The MEST-C

score from the
biopsy remains the
standard for

TESTING: Multicenter, double-blind, randomized clinical trial of patients with IgAN, proteinuria 21 g/day, and eGFR of 20 to 120
mL/min/1.73m? after at least 3 months of optimized background care. Patients (N = 503) were randomized in a 1 ratio to receive oral
methylprednisolone (initially 0.6-0.8 mg/kg/d, maximum 48 mg/d, weaning by 8 mg/d/mo; n = 136) or PBO (n = 126). After 262 patients
were randomized, an excess of serious infections was identified, leading to dose reduction (0.4 mg/kg/d, maximum 32 mg/d, weaning
by 4 mg/d/mo) and addition of antibiotic prophylaxis for pneumocystis pneumonia for subsequent patients (121 in the oral
methylprednisolone group and 120 in the PBO group). Composite endpoint: 40% decline in eGFR, kidney failure (dialysis, transplant), or
death due to kidney disease.

STOP-IgAN: To assess the role of IST in IgAN, patients (N = 162) with IBAN and proteinuria >0.75 g/d after 6 months of optimized
supportive care were randomized into two groups: continued supportive care or additional immunosuppression (GFR 260
mL/min/1.73m?: 6-month corticosteroid monotherapy; GFR = 30 to 59 mL/min/1.73m:: cyclophosphamide for 3 months followed by
azathioprine plus oral prednisolone).
