Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

  • - The subject has a screening potassium value >5.5 milliequivalent (mEq)/L (5.5 mmol/L).
  • - The subject has any abnormal clinical laboratory screening values that are considered by the Investigator to be clinically significant.
  • - The subject has a history of allergic response to any angiotensin II antagonist or endothelin receptor antagonist, including sparsentan, or has a hypersensitivity to any of the excipients in the study medication.
  • - The female subject is pregnant, plans to become pregnant during the course of the study, or is breastfeeding.
  • - Female subjects of childbearing potential, beginning at menarche, who do not agree to use 1 highly reliable (ie, can achieve a failure rate of <1% per year) method of contraception from 7 days before the first dose of the study medication until 28 days after the last dose of study medication.
Examples of highly reliable contraception methods include stable oral, implanted, transdermal, or injected contraceptive hormones associated with the inhibition of ovulation or an intrauterine device. One additional barrier method must also be used during vaginal sexual activity, such as a diaphragm, diaphragm with spermicide (preferred), or male partner's use of male condom or male condom with spermicide (preferred), from Day 1/Randomization until 28 days after the last dose of study medication. Female subjects of childbearing potential are defined as those who are fertile after menarche, unless permanently sterile; permanent sterilization methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, and bilateral oophorectomy. All female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test result at screening (Visit 1) and a negative urine pregnancy test result, with positive results confirmed by serum, at every study visit from Day 1 (Visit 3) and after. Note: Before menarche, pregnancy testing and contraceptive use are not required. However, subjects and their parents/legal guardians must be advised that, immediately upon menarche, subjects will be required to begin pregnancy testing and initiate contraceptive use. This requirement cannot be waived.
  • - The subject has participated in a study of another study medication within 28 days before screening or plans to participate in such a study during the course of this study.
  • - The subject has had prior exposure to sparsentan.
  • - The subject or parent/legal guardian (as appropriate), in the opinion of the Investigator, are unable to adhere to the requirements of the study including but not limited to, a history of noncompliance and/or any other reason that causes the Investigator to believe the subject would not be a good candidate for the study.
  • - For Population 3 - the subject is unable to swallow the study medication tablets whole.

Additional Details

This is a multicenter, open-label, 112-week study of sparsentan in approximately 67 pediatric subjects aged ≥1 year to <18 years with selected proteinuric glomerular diseases, divided into 3 populations, defined as follows:

  • - Population 1: Subjects with selected proteinuric glomerular diseases associated with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and Minimal Change Disease (MCD) histological patterns.
  • - Population 2: Subjects with kidney biopsy-confirmed immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV), or Alport syndrome (AS) - Population 3: Subjects with kidney biopsy-confirmed IgAN.
The study will evaluate long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy with pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluations at Day 1 (Baseline), Day 2 (Visit 4), and Week 12 (Visit 9) in Population 1 and Population 2. In Population 3, PK values will be evaluated at Day 1 (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, and 96. For Population 1 and Population 2, subjects will be enrolled in 3 cohorts based on age ranges. For Population 3, subjects will be enrolled in one cohort. Study Enrollment:
  • - Population 1: FSGS and/or MCD (30 subjects total) 1.
Cohort 1 (6 subjects): ≥8 years to <18 years. 2. Cohort 2 (18 subjects): ≥3 years to <8 years. 3. Cohort 3 (6 subjects): ≥1 year to <3 years.
  • - Population 2: IgAN, IgAV, or AS (27 subjects total) 1.
Cohort 1 (9 subjects): ≥8 years to <18 years. 2. Cohort 2 (12 subjects): ≥5 years to <8 years. 3. Cohort 3 (6 subjects): ≥2 years to <5 years.
  • - Population 3: IgAN (10 subjects total) 1.
10 subjects: ≥8 years to <18 years
