Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), also known as Berger’s disease, is a rare autoimmune disease affecting the kidneys. It is characterized by predominant IgA protein deposition and impairment of blood filtration in the kidneys’ tiny blood channels. Symptoms include high blood pressure, little or no urination, edema, and fatigue. No disease-specific treatments are available; thus, treatment comprises a wide variety of supportive therapies such as antihypertensive drugs, immunosuppressants, and diuretics. High unmet need exists for treatments that can meaningfully delay or halt this progressive end-stage kidney disease. The future of the IgAN therapy market is bright owing to emerging therapies such as sparsentan (Travere Therapeutics), iptacopan (Novartis), narsoplimab (Omeros), and atrasentan (Chinook Therapeutics). Supported by insights from thought leaders, we analyze the challenges associated with marketing drugs to treat an increasingly dynamic and complex disease. Understanding the current and future competitive landscape is critical for marketers of both existing and emerging brands to secure market share or carve out a clinical role.
