Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) is the most common secondary glomerular disease in children. About 40% of HSPN cases are accompanied by mild proteinuria, and some of them progress to end-stage renal disease. Currently, the treatment for children with mild proteinuria HSPN mainly involves ACEI/ARB, but long-term use of these drugs can lead to an increase in aldosterone levels, affecting therapeutic efficacy. Finerenone can improve vascular endothelial cell dysfunction and renal tissue inflammation and fibrosis, and reduce urinary protein in patients with glomerular diseases. This study intends to conduct an exploratory randomized controlled clinical trial of finerenone in children with HSPN accompanied by a small amount of proteinuria to evaluate the efficacy and safety of finerenone treatment.
