Inclusion Criteria

•Patient is willing and able to provide signed informed consent
•Patient can understand written and spoken English.
•Male and female patients with IgAN aged =18 years
•Biopsy-proven IgAN, diagnosed within the past 3 months
•Urine total protein =0.5 g/day and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) value =30 mL/min/1.73 m2
•Not previously treated with ACEI and/or ARB therapy OR not treated with ACEI and/or ARB therapy within the past 12 months
•Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP), beginning at menarche, must agree to the use of one highly reliable (ie, can achieve a failure rate of <1% per year) method of contraception from 7 days prior to the first dose of study medication until 90 days after the last dose of study medication. Highly reliable contraception methods include stable oral, implanted, transdermal, or injected contraceptive hormones associated with inhibition of ovulation, or an intrauterine device (IUD) in place for at least 3 months. One additional barrier method must also be used during sexual activity, such as a diaphragm or diaphragm with spermicide (preferred), or male partner’s use of male condom or male condom with spermicide), from Day 1 until 90 days after the last dose of study medication. WOCBP are defined as those who are fertile, following menarche and until becoming postmenopausal unless permanently sterile; permanent sterilisation methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, and bilateral oophorectomy. A postmenopausal state is defined as amenorrhoea for more than 24 consecutive months without an alternative medical cause; women on hormone replacement therapy must have a documented plasma follicle-stimulating hormone level =40 mIU/mL. All WOCBP must have a negative pregnancy test at Visit 1 (serum) and Visit 2 (urine, with positive results confirmed by serum).

•The patient, in the opinion of the Investigator, has a medical condition or abnormal clinically significant laboratory screening value not listed above that may interfere with the evaluation of sparsentan safety or activity.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: The efficacy objective of the study is to determine the effect of sparsentan on proteinuria and renal function, in patients newly diagnosed with Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN) who are treatment-naive.<br><br>The exploratory objective of the study is to determine whether sparsentan has a beneficial effect in patients with IgAN on changes in the kidney tissue by biopsy, quality of life, kidney scarring, cardiac function, blood pressure and other factors measured in the blood.<br><br>The safety objective of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of sparsentan by monitoring of safety endpoints.;Secondary Objective: Not applicable;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy endpoint is the change from baseline in the urine protein/creatinine ratio (UP/C), based on a 24-hour urine sample, at Week 36.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 36
