Enrollment

35 participants

Start Date

Jan 1, 2020

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This multicenter, prospective, single-arm clinical study will evaluate the probable benefit and safety of the LIPOSORBER® LA-15 System for the treatment of adult patients with nephrotic syndrome associated with primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, when the standard treatment options, including corticosteroid and/or calcineurin inhibitors treatments, have been unsuccessful or not well tolerated, and the patient has a GFR ≥ 45 ml/min/1.73m2, or the patient has post-renal transplant recurrence. Treatment for FSGS is considered unsuccessful if the patient is unresponsive to standard therapy (e.g., at least 8 weeks of corticosteroids) and fails to achieve complete or partial remission. A standard treatment is considered not well tolerated if the patient experiences severe side effects without providing an acceptable level of clinical benefit.

Interventions

DEVICELIPOSORBER® LA-15

LIPOSORBER® LA-15 is a blood purification therapy; selectively removes apoprotein B-containing lipoproteins such as LDL from circulating blood and rapidly reduces the plasma cholesterol level. It was originally developed for prevention of coronary atherosclerosis progression in patients with serious hyperlipidemia such as familial hypercholesterolemia. In the late 1980's, LDL-A was used to improve dyslipidemia in Nephrotic Syndrome, initially to prevent organ damage. LDL-A was found to improve both the dyslipidemic condition and clinical symptoms (proteinuria and hypoproteinemia).
