Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis: Understanding

Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis: Overview

Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a major cause of idiopathic steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). The pathogenesis of focal segmental glomerular sclerosis involves a complex interplay of several cell types, including podocytes, endothelial cells, and the basement membrane. Podocytes are terminally differentiated cells that provide structural support to the glomerulus and are essential in maintaining an intact glomerular filtration barrier, which is essential to prevent nephrotic range proteinuria. Injury and loss of podocytes result in the podocyte hypertrophy of remaining podocytes to cover the glomerular capillary surface, resulting in effacement and protein loss. Foot process effacement and the proliferation of mesangial, endothelial, and epithelial cells earlier in the course of illness, followed by collapse or shrinkage of glomerular capillaries, all result in scarring (glomerulosclerosis).

The proposed mechanism for podocyte injury includes viral- or toxin-mediated insult and intrarenal hemodynamic alterations, such as high intraglomerular capillary pressure and glomerular hyperperfusion. Many morphologic subsets, such as a collapsing variant (FSGS with mesangial hypercellularity), a cellular variant (endocapillary and extracapillary hypercellularity), and FSGS with tip lesions, are known.

Understanding the pathophysiology of FSGS has improved with the discovery that mutations in several proteins responsible for maintaining podocyte structure, function, or both not only result in FSGS but can predict disease characteristics, such as steroid responsiveness. For instance, FSGS with mutations in NPHS2 or TRPC6 is challenging to treat with immunosuppressive therapy; however, when such patients undergo kidney transplantation, the disease does not usually recur. APOL1 G1/G2 variants have been associated with a poor renal prognosis and steroid resistance in nephrotic syndrome/FSGS.

Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Emerging Drugs

DMX-200: Dimerix Bioscience

DMX-200 is a chemokine receptor (CCR2) blocker and is administered to patients taking an angiotensin II type I (AT1) receptor blocker (ARB), which is the standard of care treatment for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. DMX-200 has been granted patents in various territories until 2032 and has also been granted Orphan Drug Designation by the FDA and EMA.

In 2020, DMX-200 demonstrated clear benefit to patients with FSGS in its first Phase IIa study in patients specifically with FSGS, following several successful studies in patients with a range of Chronic Kidney Diseases. All trial endpoints were achieved, and DMX-200 was determined to be safe and tolerable. DMX-200 is currently in a Phase III clinical trial for the treatment of FSGS.

Sparsentan: Travere Therapeutics

Sparsentan, a Dual Endothelin Angiotensin Receptor Antagonist (DEARA), is a novel investigational product candidate selectively targeting the endothelin A receptor (ETAR) and the angiotensin II subtype 1 receptor (AT1R). Pre-clinical data have shown that blockade of both endothelin type A and angiotensin II type 1 pathways in forms of rare chronic kidney disease reduces proteinuria, protects podocytes, and prevents glomerulosclerosis and mesangial cell proliferation. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) have granted sparsentan orphan drug designation for FSGS. Currently, Sparsentan is in Phase III development for the treatment of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).

Dazodalibep: Horizon Therapeutics

Dazodalibep is a CD40 ligand antagonist that blocks T cell interaction with CD40-expressing B cells, disrupting the overactivation of the CD40 ligand co-stimulatory pathway. Several autoimmune diseases are associated with the overactivation of this pathway. Horizon is also investigating dazodalibep in Sjögren’s Syndrome, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Kidney Transplant Rejection. Currently, Dazodalibep is in Phase II development for the treatment of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).
