Study Summary

To determine the long-term nephroprotective potential of treatment with sparsentan as compared to an angiotensin receptor blocker in patients with primary and genetic focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).

Primary Outcome

The total eGFR slope over 2 years, defined as the slope of eGFR following initiation of randomized treatment (ie, Day 1 to Week 108). Estimates are calculated from a mixed-effects model with treatment, Baseline eGFR, analysis visit, treatment-by-analysis visit, randomization stratification factors as fixed effects, and intercept and slope for each participant as a random effect.
