Overview
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ALXN1920 compared with placebo in participants with PMN who are at a high risk for disease progression using 24-hour urine protein creatinine ratio (UPCR).
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Participants who have a documented diagnosis of PMN, established by positive antiPLA2R antibody level (> 50 RU/mL) at Screening, which must be confirmed by a central laboratory
- Participants are willing to receive the background Standard of Care (SoC)
- Participants at high risk for disease progression, defined as:
- Receiving ACE inhibitor or ARB for a minimum of 8 weeks prior to Screening, with the dose titrated to the maximally tolerated level. Participants with less than 8 weeks on ACE inhibitor or ARB before Screening or who have not yet reached maximally tolerated dose will enter the Run-in Period.
- Participants who are on ACE inhibitor or ARB for a minimum of 8 weeks with Systolic Blood Pressure < 140 mmHg in ≥ 75% of the readings within last 8 weeks.
- Having two proteinuria measurements with each > 3.5 g/day, the second measurement showing ≤50% decrease from the first measurement.
- All participants must receive prophylactic treatment with appropriate antibiotics
while receiving Rituximab (RTX), and be willing to be vaccinated against Neisseria meningitidis
Exclusion Criteria:
- Estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m^2 during Screening
- Documented rapid deterioration of kidney function
- History of life-threatening Nephrotic Syndrome within 1 year before Screening
- Diagnosis of anti- phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) negative membranous nephropathy (MN) or anti-PLA2R positive MN but Screening serum anti-PLA2R < 50 RU/mL or kidney disease other than PMN
- History of kidney transplant or planned kidney transplant or dialysis during the Treatment Period
- History of other solid organ (heart, lung, small bowel, pancreas, or liver) or bone marrow transplant; or planned transplant during the Treatment Period
- History or presence of any clinically relevant co-morbidities
- History of intolerance or hypersensitivity to ACEi or ARB
- Use of SGLT2i, MRA, or ERA within 8 weeks prior to randomization and throughout the study period
Note: Additional inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply, per protocol.
