										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This study investigates the effects of a medication called <b>BI 764198</b> in people with <b>Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis</b>, which is a rare kidney disease that damages the small filtering units in the kidneys. The study specifically looks at individuals with <b>primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis</b> or those with a version of the disease caused by <b>TRPC6</b> gene mutations, which are changes in the genetic code that affect how the disease behaves. Some participants may also be taking a <b>calcineurin inhibitor</b>, which is a type of medicine used to manage certain immune-related conditions.</p>
<p>The purpose of the study is to determine if <b>BI 764198</b> is more effective than a <b>placebo</b> at reducing the amount of protein leaked into the urine. During the study, participants will take either the active medication or a <b>placebo</b> in the form of an oral <b>film-coated tablet</b>. The treatment period lasts for 104 weeks, and the process is <b>double-blind</b>, meaning neither the participants nor the researchers know which treatment is being administered during the trial.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial focuses on testing a medication called <b>atacicept</b> (VT-001) in people with <b>Multiple Autoimmune Glomerular Diseases</b>. These are conditions where the immune system attacks the kidneys&#8217; filtering units, leading to protein leakage into urine. The study specifically looks at different types of kidney diseases, including <b>IgA Nephropathy</b>, <b>Membranous Nephropathy</b>, <b>Minimal Change Disease</b>, and <b>Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis</b>.</p>
<p>The purpose of this study is to evaluate how safe atacicept is and how well it works in reducing the amount of protein in the urine. The medication is given as a <b>subcutaneous injection</b> using a pre-filled syringe. Participants will receive treatment while continuing their regular standard of care medications as prescribed by their doctors.</p>
<p>The study will last for 52 weeks, during which participants will receive regular doses of atacicept. Throughout the study, doctors will monitor various aspects of kidney function, particularly the amount of protein in the urine and how well the kidneys are filtering blood. They will also track the levels of specific disease markers in the blood that are associated with each type of kidney disease.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying the effects of a medication called <b>Sparsentan</b> on a kidney disease known as <b>Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)</b>. FSGS is a condition that affects the kidney&#8217;s filtering units, leading to scarring and potential kidney damage. The study aims to evaluate how well Sparsentan can protect the kidneys over a long period and to assess its safety for patients with this disease.</p>
<p>Participants in the study will receive either Sparsentan or another medication called <b>Irbesartan</b>, which is commonly used to treat high blood pressure and kidney problems. The study is designed to be &#8220;double-blind,&#8221; meaning neither the participants nor the researchers will know who is receiving which medication during the trial. This helps ensure that the results are unbiased. The trial will also include an &#8220;open-label&#8221; phase, where all participants will receive Sparsentan to further assess its long-term effects.</p>
<p>The study will take place over several years, with regular check-ups to monitor kidney function and overall health. Participants will take the medication in tablet form by mouth. The goal is to determine if Sparsentan can effectively reduce the progression of kidney damage in FSGS patients compared to Irbesartan, while also ensuring that it is safe and well-tolerated.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying certain kidney diseases known as <i>proteinuric glomerular diseases</i>. These include conditions like <i>Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)</i>, <i>Minimal Change Disease (MCD)</i>, <i>Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN)</i>, <i>Immunoglobulin A Vasculitis (IgAV)</i>, and <i>Alport Syndrome (AS)</i>. The treatment being tested is a medication called <i>Sparsentan</i>, which is given as an oral suspension. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Sparsentan in children with these kidney diseases.</p>
<p>Participants in the study will receive Sparsentan once daily for a period of 108 weeks. During this time, researchers will monitor the safety of the medication and observe any changes in the levels of protein in the urine, which is a key indicator of kidney health. The study aims to understand how well Sparsentan works in reducing protein levels in the urine and how the body processes the medication over time.</p>
<p>The study will also look at how many participants experience a complete or partial remission of their kidney disease symptoms, such as a significant reduction in protein levels in the urine. Additionally, researchers will track any side effects that occur during the study, including any that might lead to stopping the treatment. This information will help determine the overall safety and potential benefits of Sparsentan for treating these specific kidney diseases in children.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying a kidney disease called <i>Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis</i> (FSGS). FSGS is a condition that affects the kidney&#8217;s filtering units, leading to scarring and potential kidney damage. The study is testing a treatment called <i>DMX-200</i>, which is a capsule containing the active substance <i>Repagermanium</i>. This treatment is being evaluated for its effectiveness and safety in patients who are already receiving a type of medication known as an <i>Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker</i> (ARB). ARBs are commonly used to manage high blood pressure and protect the kidneys.</p>
<p>The purpose of the study is to assess how well DMX-200 works in improving kidney function and its safety over time. Participants in the study will be randomly assigned to receive either DMX-200 or a placebo, which looks like the treatment but does not contain the active substance. The study will be conducted in a way that neither the participants nor the researchers know who is receiving the actual treatment or the placebo, ensuring unbiased results. The treatment period will last for several months, during which participants will have regular check-ups to monitor their kidney function and overall health.</p>
<p>In addition to DMX-200, the study involves several ARBs, including <i>Losartan</i>, <i>Candesartan</i>, <i>Telmisartan</i>, <i>Irbesartan</i>, <i>Valsartan</i>, <i>Azilsartan Medoxomil</i>, and <i>Olmesartan Medoxomil</i>. These medications are taken orally and are part of the standard treatment for managing FSGS. The study aims to provide valuable information on the potential benefits of adding DMX-200 to the existing treatment regimen for patients with FSGS.</p>
