Clinical Trial Summary

TIGER study (Treatment of IgA nEphropathy according to Renal lesions) is a prospective openly randomized controlled study. The main objective is to evaluate the efficacy of early corticotherapy + Renin Angiotensin System (RAS) blockade or inhibitors of Sodium glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2i) (versus RAS blockade or SGLT2i alone) after two years of evolution in IgAN patients with severe histological lesions.

Description:

Currently, IgAN treatment recommendations are only based on clinico-biological parameters. Steroids therapy appears to have a major role in IgAN treatment, but previous studies evaluating steroids lacked of optimal control group and reproducible evaluation criteria. No prospective study with optimal nephroprotection had included renal pathology in patients selection criteria, although histological evaluation improves patients prognosis prediction. Until now, the lack of a reliable histological classification has precluded the use of histological lesions to evaluate IgAN prognosis and treatment. Given the recently identified major prognostic role of histological lesions in IgAN, we propose to introduce renal pathology to guide the treatment of IgAN in a multicenter study, using currently validated evaluation criteria of chronic kidney disease progression.
