FILSPARI (sparsentan) is indicated for the treatment of adults with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) with a urine protein excretion ≥1.0 g/day (or urine protein-to-creatinine ratio ≥0.75 g/g)1

Switch to and start FILSPARI now for sustained proteinuria reduction and to preserve kidney function1–3

FILSPARI is the first and only DEARA, a non-immunosuppressive IgAN therapy to target both ET-1 and ANG II in a single molecule1,4,5*

SUPERIOR SUSTAINED PROTEINURIA REDUCTION2,3
Achieved rapid, superior, and sustained proteinuria reduction vs maximum-labeled dose irbesartan2,3†

PRESERVED KIDNEY FUNCTION2
Significantly slows the rate of eGFR decline vs maximum-labeled dose irbesartan2‡

ONE PILL, ONCE DAILY1
FILSPARI is suitable for continuous use,§ and has a favorable benefit-risk profile1,2,6

*FILSPARI inhibits activation of both ETAR and AT1R, thereby reducing proteinuria and slowing progression of kidney disease1
†A significant reduction in UP/C was seen as early as Week 4 and maintained at Week 6, 12, 24, and 36, p<0.0001 at each week until Week 36. The improvement in proteinuria reduction was sustained through Week 1102,3
‡Chronic slope. Key secondary endpoints included chronic eGFR slope (rate of eGFR change over Week 6 to Week 110) and total eGFR slope (Day 1–Week 110) over the full double-blind treatment period. Chronic slope for FILSPARI vs maximum-labeled dose irbesartan was -2.7 vs -3.8 mL/min/1.73 m2 per year, respectively; difference, 1.1 mL/min/1.73 m2 per year; 95% CI, 0.1, 2.1; p=0.037. Total slope for FILSPARI vs maximum-labeled dose irbesartan was -2.9 vs -3.9 mL/min/1.73 m2 per year, respectively; difference, 1.0 mL/min/1.73 m2 per year; 95% CI, -0.03, 1.94; p=0.058. The absolute change in eGFR from baseline to Week 110 between treatment groups was 3.7 mL/min/1.73 m2 (95% CI; 1.5, 6.0)2
§Treatment may need to stopped or titrated differently depending on patient response. Continuation of treatment is at the physician's discretion. The efficacy and safety of FILSPARI was evaluated in the PROTECT study, where patients randomized to the FILSPARI treatment group received the drug for up to 110 weeks. In PROTECT, adverse events were well-balanced between groups, except for dizziness (15% with FILSPARI vs 6% with irbesartan) and hypotension (13% with FILSPARI vs 4% with irbesartan). Treatment-related adverse events led to treatment discontinuation in 21 (10%) of patients on FILSPARI vs 18 (9%) of patients on maximum-labeled dose irbesartan2
