Efficacy and Safety of Nefecon in Patients with Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy from Mainland China: 2-Year NefIgArd Trial Results

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), an immune-mediated kidney disease, is particularly prevalent among individuals of East Asian ancestry. Nefecon is a novel, oral, targeted-release budesonide formulation designed to inhibit galactose-deficient-IgA1 formation underlying IgAN pathophysiology. We present findings in patients with IgAN from mainland China participating in the 2-year, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, phase 3 NefIgArd trial of Nefecon.
