Hitting the Four Hits: The Potential of Dual BAFF/APRIL Inhibition in IgA Nephropathy

14 Apr 2024 10:30 a.m. 11 a.m.
Spotlight Stage 1 (exhibition hall)
Jonathan Barret Spotlight Speaker United KingdomUniversity of Leicester, Leicester, UK

This Spotlight Session will review new agents in development for the treatment of IgA nephropathy, including the dual BAFF/APRIL antagonist, povetacicept. The presentation will focus on (1) how the various mechanisms of action being explored target different aspects of the multi-hit model of IgA nephropathy pathogenesis, (2) the relative pros and cons of targeting early versus late hits , and (3) how inhibition of both BAFF and APRIL may provide disease-modifying potential (including initial findings from the povetacicept RUBY-3 trial).
