In Advocacy Strategies and the Expanding Role of Novel Therapies in IgA Nephropathy, our panel delves into the following critical questions: What strategies can clinicians use to advocate for access or navigate step edits? How might real-world data and ongoing registries (like RaDaR) support broader adoption and payer confidence?
In this episode, Overcoming Access Barriers and Step-Edit Challenges in IgA Nephropathy Care, the panelists explore the following questions: What barriers exist to real-world use, particularly around payer policies or access? Many plans require a systemic steroid step-edit; why might this be inappropriate for IgAN?
