Background

To date, there have been no safety reports on the combination of Nefecon and Sparsentan.

Methods

Data on Nefecon, alone or in combination with Sparsentan, were extracted from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System. Disproportionality analysis was performed to identify potential adverse reactions (AEs).

Results

After combination with sparsentan, the AE spectrum associated with Nefecon decreased from 32 signals to 5 signals (Figure 1a, b). Subgroup-specific signals by sex and age (male, female, younger, and middle-aged to elderly patients) are presented in Figures 1c–f. Similarly, following combination with Nefecon, the sparsentan's AE spectrum narrowed from 43 signals to 7 signals (Figure 1e, f), with subgroup-specific signals shown in Figures 2g–i for males, females, younger, and middle-aged to elderly patients.

Conclusion

This is the first safety analysis of combined targeted therapy for IgAN. Our findings show that compared to monotherapy, combined use of Nefecon and sparsentan reduces the spectrum of AEs.
