Kidney Week

Translational Session

Treatment Development in IgA Nephropathy

November 04, 2023 | 04:30 PM - 06:00 PM

Location: Room 201, Pennsylvania Convention Center

Session Description

IgA nephropathy is a rare kidney disease that, until recently, had no treatment options. Over the last decade, a robust pipeline of treatment options for IgA nephropathy are in clinical trials. This session highlights patient perspective, trial design, emerging therapies, and the collaboration between the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), investigators, and industry required to make new therapies possible.

ASN thanks the Kidney Health Initiative for assistance with this session.
Session support is provided by an educational grant from Travere Therapeutics, Inc.
