Clinical Trial Summary

Nephrotic syndrome is the clinical phenotype of a heterogeneous group of glomerular diseases that may present with varying degrees of urinary protein loss (proteinuria), dysproteinemia in the blood, fluid retention and impaired renal function. The AustRian RESistanT NEPHROtic Syndrome Treatment Response RegIStry and Biobank (ARREST-NEPHROSIS) sets out to achieve the following goals, as typical categories of rare disease registries 1. Obtaining real world data on practice patterns and outcomes 2. Networking between affected patients, families, and clinicians. 3. Establish a patient base for facilitated recruitment in studies of drugs, medical devices, and products 4. Development of a Biobank to enable research of potential biomarkers and therapy or disease courses


Clinical Trial Description

A significant proportion of patients with nephrotic syndrome remains unresponsive to currently used therapies ("resistant nephrotic syndrome"), the majority of them with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). FSGS is reported as an underlying condition in 5% of adult and 12% of pediatric patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), ultimately requiring renal replacement therapy. The estimated incidence for FSGS is 7 patients per 1 million people. Despite its clinical and financial burden, the pharmaceutical market for such rare (orphan) diseases is narrow, and industry is less likely to invest in research and to develop treatments for these than for more prevalent medical conditions. However, there remains an urgent need to find new treatments and test their efficacy in suitable trials in resistant nephrotic syndrome. Patient registries are critical tools to tackle that unmet medical need in orphan diseases. The AustRian RESistanT NEPHROtic Syndrome Treatment Response RegIStry and Biobank (ARREST-NEPHROSIS) therefore sets out to achieve the following goals, in line with typical categories of rare disease registries: (1) networking between affected patients, families, and clinicians; (2) obtaining real world data on practice patterns and outcomes (3); establish a patient base for facilitated recruitment in studies of drugs, medical devices, and products, and (4) development of a biobank to enable research of potential biomarkers predicting disease courses under therapy. To achieve these goals, the ARREST-NEPHROSIS registry aims for long-term data collection in patients from childhood to adulthood. Patients who fulfill the inclusion criteria (resistance to standard immunosuppressive agents (if clinically indicated, e.g. for primary/non-genetic forms), persistent urinary protein-to-creatinine (UP/C) ratio >1.0 g/g, eGFR > 30 ml/min per 1.73 m2 and a biopsy or a disease-causing genetic mutation associated with nephrotic syndrome) will be invited to the registry, and, after consent, will undergo clinical assessments and receive care as determined by the patient's treating physician. Clinical routine data will be transcribed into the registry to describe patient characteristics (e.g. age, sex, etc.), disease typology (e.g. biopsy and genetics findings, treatment history, etc.), disease activity (e.g. level of proteinuria) and renal function (e.g. eGFR decline). The continuous prospective assessment of internationally harmonized endpoints suggested by the SONG-GD group (such as proteinuria, including patient reported outcomes (PROs), and the low barrier for access to novel therapeutic studies, will represent an important component of rare disease research in Austria and might ultimately improve health outcomes in this vulnerable population. ;
