Sparsentan, sold under the brand name Filspari, is a medication used for the treatment of primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy.[1] Sparsentan is an endothelin and angiotensin II receptor antagonist.[1][3] It is taken by mouth.[1]
It was approved for medical use in the United States in February 2023.[1][4][5] The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers it to be a first-in-class medication.[6]
Medical uses
[edit]Sparsentan is indicated to reduce proteinuria in people with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy.[1]
Society and culture
[edit]Legal status
[edit]Sparsentan was approved in the US under accelerated approval based on reduction of proteinuria compared with irbesartan after 36 weeks of treatment.[1] In September 2024, the US FDA converted the conditional approval in the kidney disease IgA nephropathy (IgAN) into a full approval based on positive long-term confirmatory results from the PROTECT Study demonstrating that sparsentan significantly slowed kidney function decline over two years compared to irbesartan.[7][8]
In February 2024, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use of the European Medicines Agency adopted a positive opinion recommending the granting of a conditional marketing authorization for the medicinal product Filspari, intended for the treatment of adults with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN).[2] The applicant for this medicinal product is Vifor France.[2]
