This study is trying to learn more about a medication called sparsentan, and how it can help the kidneys filter protein and slow the decline of kidney function.

We still have a lot to learn about why people develop glomerular disease and what the best medicines are to treat these diseases. Diabetes is a common, chronic illness and many people with glomerular disease also have diabetes. Currently, there is no information telling us the best ways to treat patients with both diabetes and glomerular disease, or how to counsel them about prognosis and risks for complications. This substudy of the Cure Glomerulopathy Network brings together information and laboratory specimens from patients with diabetes and glomerular disease to speed up and improve health research for their care.
