Detailed Description

Primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common form of idiopathic glomerulonephritis throughout of the world. The disease is characterized by the predominant deposition of polymer Gal-deficient IgA1 immune complex（pGd-IgA1-IC）in the glomeruli which leads to the proliferation of mesangial cells. Mycophenolate mofetil is reported to be useful in the treatment of IgAN in Chinese patients, but the price is expensive together with some adverse events. Tripterygium Wilfordii HOOK. f. is a traditional chinese medicine and is useful in the treatment of CKD, the purpose of this study is to determine whether Multi-glycoside of Tripterygium Wilfordii HOOK. f. is effective and safe in the treatment of IgA nephropathy

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of patients reaching remission
Time Frame: one year
(i) complete remission was defined as the absence of proteinuria (24-h urine protein < 0.4 g/24 h), serum albumin >35 g/L and Scr < 1.24 mg/ dL; (ii) partial remission was defined as a 24-h urine protein ≤ 3.5 g/24 h and a decline of >50% of the baseline value with an Scr elevation of <15% of the baseline value; (iii) no response was defined as a 24-h urine protein >3.5 g/24h, or a decline < 50% of base- line value or increase and/or an Scr level >50% of the baseline value
one year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Renal survival
Time Frame: one year
Renal survival was estimated on the basis of a 50% increase in baseline serum creatinine concentration.
one year

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
