Overview

The primary objective of this study to evaluate efficacy of ravulizumab compared with placebo on proteinuria reduction and change in eGFR in adult participants with IgAN who are at risk of disease progression.

Description

The I CAN study will enroll approximately 510 eligible participants with IgAN who are high risk of disease progression. Participants will be on stable concomitant IgAN treatment(s) consistent with standard of care for patients with IgAN for at least 3 months prior to Screening. Approximately 450 participants will be randomized in a 1:1 allocation ratio to receive a weight-based IV infusion of either ravulizumab or placebo. An interim analysis may be conducted at Week 34 to evaluate change in proteinuria and the final analysis will be conducted at Week 106 to evaluate eGFR. In addition, approximately 60 participants with eGFR 20-29 mL/min/1.73m2 will be enrolled in an Advanced Kidney Disease (AdKD) Cohort After Week 106, all participants have the option to enter an Open-label Ravulizumab Access Period.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Documentation of IgAN diagnosis established on kidney biopsy obtained any time prior to or during the Screening Period for participants with eGFR ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m^2.
  • For participants in the AdKD cohorts, eGFR 20 to 29 mL/min/1.73 m2 a kidney biopsy is required within 6 months prior to Screening or during the Screening Period.
  • UPCR ≥ 0.75 g/g or UP ≥1 g/day calculated from the mean of two 24-hour urine during the Screening Period.
  • Estimated GFR ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 at Screening.
  • Stable and maximum allowed or tolerated RASI (ACEI and/or ARB) dose for ≥ 3 months prior to Screening with no planned change during Screening through Week 106.
  • Participants who are receiving SGLT2I, DEARA, MRA or ERA must be on a stable and maximum allowed or tolerated dose for ≥ 3 months prior to Screening with no planned change in dose through Week 106.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of rapid progressive glomerulonephritis as measured by eGFR loss ≥ 50% over a period of 3 months prior to Screening.
  • Secondary IgAN (eg, due to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), cirrhosis, or celiac disease; IgAV-N may be eligible).
  • Concomitant clinically significant renal disease other than IgAN.
  • Prior use of immunosuppressive treatment within 3 months of screening.
  • Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus with glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) > 8.5%.
  • Henoch-Schonlein purpura (IgAV) requiring systemic immunosuppressive therapy within 12 months of Screening.
  • History of kidney transplant or planned kidney transplant during the Treatment Period.
  • Splenectomy or functional asplenia.
  • History of Neisseria meningitidis infection.
  • Active systemic bacterial, viral, or fungal infection within 14 days prior to randomization.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
