ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
IgA nephropathy is the most common glomerulonephritis in the world. We conducted a pilot trial (NCT01103778) to test the effect of bortezomib in patients with IgA nephropathy and significant proteinuria.METHODS:
We treated 8 consecutive subjects from July 2011 until March 2016 with 4 doses of bortezomib. All subjects had biopsy-proven IgA nephropathy and proteinuria of greater than 1 g per day. They were given 4 doses of bortezomib i.v. at 1.3 mg/m2 of body surface area per dose. Changes in proteinuria and renal function were followed for 1 year after enrollment. The primary endpoint was full remission defined as proteinuria of less than 300 mg per day.RESULTS:
All 8 subjects received and tolerated 4 doses of bortezomib over a 2-week period during enrollment. The median baseline daily proteinuria was 2.46 g (interquartile range 2.29-3.16 g). At 1-year follow-up, 3 subjects (38%) had achieved the primary endpoint. The 3 subjects who had complete remission had Oxford classification T scores of 0 before enrollment. Of the remaining 5 subjects, 1 was lost to follow-up within 1 month of enrollment and 4 (50%) did not have any response or had progression of disease.CONCLUSION:
Proteasome inhibition by bortezomib may reduce significant proteinuria in select cases of IgA nephropathy. Subjects who responded to bortezomib had Oxford classification T score of 0 and normal renal function.
