NephJC Summary of TESTING: Re-TESTING Steroids for IgA Nephropathy (have you ever noticed how good the titles for the NephJC summaries are?)

TESTING in JAMA

STOP-IgA NephJC Summary: Don't just do something, stand there. Another great title, this one from from a long time ago.

Prior Art for steroids in IgA nephropathy:

Italian study: Randomized controlled clinical trial of corticosteroids plus ACE-inhibitors with long-term follow-up in proteinuric IgA nephropathy

Another, earlier, Italian study: Corticosteroids in IgA nephropathy: a randomised controlled trial

Chinese study: Combination therapy of prednisone and ACE inhibitor versus ACE-inhibitor therapy alone in patients with IgA nephropathy: a randomized controlled trial

Original TESTING publication from 2017, also in JAMA. Oh, and we covered that in NephJC too, IgA Nephropathy: Testing Steroids Again.

FDA approves first drug to decrease urine protein in IgA nephropathy, a rare kidney disease. FDA has granted accelerated approval for  budesonide delayed release capsules to reduce proteinuria in adults with primary IgA nephropathy at risk of rapid disease progression. It has not been established whether budesonide delayed release capsules slow kidney function decline in patients with IgA nephropathy.
