NEPTUNE Match Study

Implementing Precision Medicine for Glomerular Diseases in the Nephrotic Syndrome Study Network (NEPTUNE)

NEPTUNE Match is an additional opportunity offered to NEPTUNE study participants to prospectively recruit and communicate patient-specific clinical trial matching with kidney patients and their physician investigators.

This is a prospective, open-label study testing the ability to effectively communicate patient-specific clinical trial matching with kidney patients and clinician investigators. The study consists of four components:

1. Recruitment of participants from the NEPTUNE observational cohort study
2. Generation of participant profile-trial match assessment using data from the NEPTUNE observational study and profiling units by the NEPTUNE Molecular Nephrology Board
3. Establishing and testing a framework to communicate disease-trial drug mechanism matching with investigators and patients
4. Retrospective comparison of kidney health outcomes in subjects enrolled in trials that aligned with their match vs. trial subjects with mis-aligned or unknown match alignment.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Consented and eligible participants in the biopsied or non-biopsied cohorts of the NEPTUNE observational study

2. Must be potentially eligible for the NEPTUNE Match partnering trials (e.g. if no trial is enrolling a participant under age 6, those under 6 are not eligible).

   Note: NEPTUNE Match partnering trials and associated eligibility criteria are expected to be dynamic and change as trial protocols are developed, activated, and amended.

3. Regular nephrology healthcare provided at a NEPTUNE study site.

4. Willing and able to consent, and as appropriate assent, to participate in NEPTUNE Match

Exclusion Criteria:

Currently non-NEPTUNE observational study participants are not eligible to be matched to a clinical trial using these biomarker assessments.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Non-English or non-Spanish speaking
