IgA Nephropathy Pipeline to Witness Various Collaborations in the Coming Years

The study analyzed that the IgAnephropathy pipeline comprises of 12 drug candidates in different stages of development. IgA nephropathy, also known as Berger’s disease, is a kidney disorder that occurs when IgA antibody gets settled in the kidneys. This leads to inflammation that with time hinders the kidney’s ability to filter wastes from blood.
IgA nephropathy is a silent disease in its early stages with no symptoms. But the most common symptoms that are usually observed are proteinuria and hematuria. IgA nephropathy does not have a specific treatment, and the only treatment available is to delay or prevent end stage renal disease (ESRD). Therefore, combination therapies are being used to slow down the rate of proteinuria and hematuria and the use of various targets including a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) and B lymphocyte stimulator (BlyS) is expected to provide an effective and concrete treatment for the disease, with latest technological advancements further adding to the pipeline growth.





Pharmalink AB is using TARGIT drug delivery technology platform for the development of Budesonide for IgA nephropathy. The TARGIT technology is based on the application of a combination of enteric polymers onto injection-moulded starch capsules, for the targeted delivery of drugs to specific regions of the large intestine. 

The research finds that different companies have collaborated for the development of IgA nephropathy pipeline. In October 2012, Pharmalink AB entered into a contract with Patheon Inc. for manufacturing of Nefecon.
Some of the key players developing drugs for IgA nephropathy include Mallinckrodt plc, Merck KGaA, Anthera Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and others.
