flag Novartis' drug Fabhalta slowed kidney decline in IgA nephropathy patients, supporting a 2026 FDA approval.

flag Novartis announced positive Phase III trial results showing its oral drug Fabhalta (iptacopan) significantly slowed kidney function decline in adults with IgA nephropathy, a rare autoimmune kidney disease. flag The APPLAUSE-IgAN trial found a statistically significant improvement in kidney function over two years compared to placebo, with the drug well-tolerated and consistent with prior safety data. flag These findings support a planned 2026 FDA submission for traditional approval. flag The drug is already approved for IgAN and other rare kidney conditions. flag Separate data from the APPEAR-C3G trial showed iptacopan effectively reduced proteinuria and stabilized kidney function in patients with C3 glomerulopathy, leading to FDA approval in March 2025—the first treatment for this ultra-rare disease. flag Full results will be presented at upcoming medical conferences.
