Abstract

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerulonephritis. Up to 40% of patients with IgAN are at risk of progressing to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD); proteinuria is the strongest predictor of progression. Endothelin A receptor (ETA) activation promotes proteinuria, along with kidney inflammation and fibrosis. Atrasentan, a potent and selective ETA antagonist, has been studied in >5,000 patients in a global phase 3 outcome clinical trial in patients with diabetic kidney disease who were on a maximum tolerated dose of RAS inhibitor (RASi).
