Brief Summary  

The protective effect of Budesonide on IgA Nephropathy is well researched. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Budesonide in patients with primary IgA Nephropathy (IgAN). The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of budesonide in management of proteinuria and hematuria in subjects with primary IgA nephropathy. The secondary objective is to assess safety of budesonide in subjects with primary IgA nephropathy, based on adverse events, clinical laboratory results, and vital signs assessments. The study is designed as a Prospective, Double-Blind, Multicentric, Interventional, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Investigator-initiated study. The study population consist of patients in the age group of ≥12 years diagnosed with primary IgA nephropathy confirmed by the most recent renal biopsy (within the past 10 years). 

Subjects satisfying all eligibility criteria will be enrolled from 4-5 study sites after obtaining written informed consent (or assent, as applicable). After baseline assessment, subjects will berandomized 1:1 to be administered either 9 mg budesonide or placebo. All adverse events will be recorded. Data collected at baseline and follow-up visits will be analyzed.

The study visit will be as per the following schedule:

Visit 1 (Day -7): Informed consent and Screening

Visit 2 (Day 0): Randomization, baseline assessment, and treatment initiation

Visit 3 (Day 90 ± 7 days): Follow-up visit

Visit 4 (Day 180 ± 7 days): Follow-up visit

Visit 5 (Day 270 ± 7 days): Follow-up visit

Visit 6 (Day 360 ± 7 days): End of treatment and end-of-study visit

Unscheduled visit: As required (during study participation)
