1 New Immunosuppressive therapies in Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome (INS) Actualités Jean Hamburger 2008 Philippe Grimbert CHU Henri Mondor

2 Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome: MCNS and FSGS Not a disease but histological lesions Obscur pathophysiology Mechanism of action of drugs is poorly understood Meyrier A, NDT 2004

3 Glomerular nephropathy incidence Swaminathan S et al Clin JASN 2006

4 Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome IS sensitivity IS resistance Immune genetic Mutations /deletions (Podocine, nephrine, ACTN-4 WT1, ADNmt,...) Mechanisms? podocyte dysfunction Cytoskeleton desorganisation

5 Immune hypothesis Antigenic stimulation (virus, vaccination, insect bite, atopy, ) Activation of cytokinesregulation pathway (voie NFχB, voie du protéasome) T lymphocyte activation Th2 shift Increase cytokines production : TNFα, IL-8, IL-13, IL-5, IL-6, Glomerular permeability factor Interaction with podocytes Podocytes cytoskleton reorganization and functional activity of filtration barrier disruption

6 Glomerular Permeability Factor Koyama A., Kidney international 1991

7 INS AND IMMATURE CELLS CD34+ CD34- Sellier-Leclerc AL JASN 2007

8 INS and IL-13 IL-13+ IL-13+ B7-1 IL-13- Il-13 - IL-13 + Lai KW, JASN 2007

9 Evidence based recommandations? IS are used in INS since 1940 Empiric therapy based on inhibition of T cells, B cells mediators of inflammation and fibrosis What is the evidence base for therapy

10 The conviction with which many nephrologists hold an opinion varies inversely with the evidence UTI Transplant HD No. of RCTs DN PD Calcul Acid-base ARF GN CRF No. of citations E Lewis JASN 2006

11 MCNS: Conventional therapies 1 Corticosteroids Response to steroids Steroid-dependent Or Frequent relapse 2 Ciclosporine Alkylants agents Levamisole Rémission 70% 85 à 90 % 40 à 50 % 10 à 15 % Steroid-resistant Failure: 50-60% cas FSGS

12 Cyclosporine: tolerance Side effects SDNS (n = 74) SRNS (n = 43) P b Gum hyperplasia 25 (33.8%) 13 (30.2%) Hypertrichosis 51 (68.9%) %) Hypertension 4 (5.4%) 8 (18.6%) Renal dysfunction 2 (2.7%) 5 (11.6%) El Husseini H, N DT 2005;

13 FSGS: conventional therapies 1 Steroids 2 Cyclosporine 50 à 60 % Response to steroids ~ 50 % Frequent relapse or Steroid-dependent 40 à 50 % Steroid-resistant * Même après un traitement prolongé de plus de 6 mois

14 FSGS: Remission is the best pronostic factor Remission: facteur pronostic Thomas et al Kidney Int 2006

15 FSGS: remission is the best pronostic factor Korbet S Kidney Int (2002) 62: 2301

16 2. FSGS: conventional therapies Korbet et al Sem Nephrol 2003

17 FSGS: time to remission % remission 50% EBR: GRADE A Median (months) Rydel: 3.7 Cattran: 4 Ponticelli: Length of therapy

18 Response to cyclosporine Initial response N Complete R Partial R Failure Steroid S 15 73% 7% 20% Steroid R % 22% 49% Relapse after CyA withdrawal: 50-90% Korbet S Kidney Int (2002) 62: 2301

20 Rational for the use of new IS drugs: Steroid-dependent Side effects using conventional IS Dependency to IS Steroid-resistant Failure using conventional IS 50%: ESRF First purpose therapy? Save in steroid

23 MMF and MCNS (Sepe V et al, Kidney Int 2008)

24 MMF and FSGS

25 MMF and INS (Mendibazal et al Pediatric Nephrol 2005) 26 patients: MCNS (12) - FSGS (16) D R Steroid-dependent: n = 20 Steroid-resistant n = 6 MMF: 6 months 1200mg/m 2 /24h --- -Save in steroid: (50%): n = 15-9 patients with complete remission - Relapse in 50% after MMF withdrawal RP: n= 1

26 MMF and steroid-dependent INS 42 children: MMF (25mg/kg/d) + Cs Relapse rate (6 months): 50% Complete remission: 25% Decrease in cumulative steroid dose : 50% in 80% of patients Hematological tolerance+++ Afzal K et al Pediatric Nephrol 2007

27 MMF et SNI : conclusion Preliminary results: D2 et D3 Dose ( mg/m 2 ) and length (1-39 months) are heterogeneous Steroid-dependant and not steroid-resistant INS Lack of «de novo» study (PHRC national) Azathioprine? (Cade R, Arch Int Med 1986)

28 SNI et Tacrolimus T cells immunosuppressive drug FK506 Higher in vitro NFAT inhibition Lower incidence of acute rejection in transplantation GPF synthesis inhibition? Hemodynamic effects

29 Tacrolimus and SNI : D2 D3 Westhoff T, Drug Evaluation 2008
