Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To determine the change in urine protein/creatinine ratio (Up/C) after 8 weeks of treatment in FSGS patients receiving Sparsentan, a novel dual endothelin receptor and angiotensin receptor blocker, over a range of dose levels (200 mg, 400 mg, and 800 mg) compared to treatment with Irbesartan as the active control.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate * The proportion of patients that achieve the target of 30% or 50% reduction in Up/C at Week 8 * The time to and durability of achieving target improvement for Up/C by comparing the change from baseline in groups receiving fixed doses (200, 400, 800 mg) of Sparsentan versus the Irbesartan active control after 8 weeks * Changes from baseline in serum albumin in each dose group * Changes from baseline in lipid profile: total cholesterol and triglycerides, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),, very low density lipoprotein cholesterol, very low density lipoprotein triglyceride, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C) and triglycerides (VLDL-TG) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) in each dose group * Changes from baseline in plasma renin, serum endothelin, and serum aldosterone in each dose group * Changes from baseline in quality of life for FSGS patients receiving Sparsentan versus Irbesartan active control;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy endpoint is the change from baseline to the Week 8 visit of the natural log (ln) of the Up/C. Week 0/Randomization (baseline) and Week 8 values will be an average of two Up/C measurements at each time point. Primary Safety Objectives * To assess the safety and tolerability of Sparsentan over a range of doses by double-blind monitoring of body weight, peripheral edema, blood pressure, echocardiographic functional parameters, as well as related signs and symptoms * To compare the occurrence of adverse events in the double-blind Sparsentan treated patients versus active control Irbesartan * To compare medications required to control edema and

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): To evaluate * The proportion of patients that achieve the target of 30% or 50% reduction in Up/C at Week 8 * The time to and durability of achieving target improvement for Up/C by comparing the change from baseline in groups receiving fixed doses (200 mg, 400 mg, 800 mg) of Sparsentan versus the Irbesartan control after 8 weeks * changes from baseline in serum albumin in each dose group * Changes from baseline in lipid profile: total cholesterol, very low density lipoprotein cholesterol, very low density lipoprotein triglyceride, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterol in each dose group * Changes from baseline in plasma renin, serum endothelin, and serum aldosterone in each dose group * Changes from baseline in quality of life for FSGS patients receiving Sparsentan versus Irbesartan active control;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: after the Week 8 visit and after open label phase week 312
