A Study of Probiotics in IgA Nephropathy

Sponsor: University of Leicester

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) occurs when a specific form of the IgA antibody lodges on the kidneys and causes damage, which may lead to kidney failure. This form of IgA is likely to come from the gut and the upper airways. Recent studies have shown that the bacteria that live in these areas may be different in IgAN. We think that the interaction between these and the immune system triggers production of the IgA that leads to kidney damage. We will examine these bacteria in detail, and test whether a probiotic can alter this favorably, and reduce harmful forms of IgA production in IgAN.

Official title: A Single-Arm Open-Label Feasibility Study of Probiotics for the Modulation of the Gut Microbiome in IgA Nephropathy (Pro-IgAN)
