Overview

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of atacicept in adult and adolescent participants and to measure the effect in reducing proteinuria and preserving renal function.

Description

The study will assess the safety and efficacy of atacicept in multiple autoimmune glomerular diseases including IgAN (IgA Nephropathy), pMN (Primary Membranous Nephropathy) and MCD/FSGS (Minimal Change Disease/Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis) in participants ages 10 and above with weekly SC injections.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Weight of at least 40 kg
  • On a stable prescribed standard of care (SoC) treatment regimen according to local guidelines and the specific requirements for each disease
  • Systolic blood pressure ≤160 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure ≤90 mmHg at Screening. For participants aged ≥10 to <18 years, the average of 3 separate systolic and/or diastolic blood pressures <95th percentile for age, gender, and height

Diagnosis of IgAN, IgAVN, pMN, MCD, FSGS, or primary nephrotic syndrome

For patients enrolling in IgAN cohorts (eligibility varies by cohort):

  • Age ≥ 10 years
  • Biopsy proven IgAN or IgAVN,
  • UPCR ≥ 0.5 g/g
  • eGFR≥ 20 mL/min/1.73m2

For patients enrolling in pMN cohorts (eligibility varies by cohort):

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Biopsy-proven pMN
  • Anti PLA2R antibodies ≥ 25 RU/mL
  • UPCR ≥ 1.5 g/g
  • At low risk for spontaneous remission (based on severity or duration of disease)

For patients enrolling in Nephrotic Syndrome cohorts (MCD, FSGS, or pediatric idiopathic nephrotic syndrome):

  • Age ≥ 10 years
  • eGFR≥30 mL/min/1.73m2
  • Biopsy diagnosis of primary MCD or FSGS (adults) or challenging clinical course with steroids in children (frequenlty relapsing, steroid-dependent, or steroid-resistant)
  • UPCR ≥ 1.0 g/g at Screening,
  • Evidence of anti-nephrin antibodies
  • Evidence of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (loss of ≥50% of eGFR) within 3 months prior to and at Screening)
  • Active viral or bacterial infections
  • Existing conditions or clinically significant laboratory abnormalities that may interfere with participation in this study
  • Administration of live and live-attenuated vaccinations within 30 days prior to enrollment
  • Known hypersensitivity to atacicept or any component of the formulated atacicept
  • Additional criteria apply to each cohort/disease.

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.
