Study summary

This is a Phase 1, open-label, multi-center study of the safety, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of RG-012 administered to subjects with Alport syndrome.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 1, multi-center study of the safety, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of RG-012 administered to subjects with Alport syndrome. During this open-label study, all eligible subjects will receive RG-012. The study consists of two parts (Part A and Part B). During Part A, half of the participants will receive a single dose of RG-012 and half will receive 4 doses of RG-012 (one dose every other week for 6 weeks). All subjects will undergo two renal biopsies, one before and one after receiving RG-012, to assess the effect of RG-012 on the kidney. After completing Part A, subjects will be able to enter Part B of the study. During Part B, all subjects will receive RG-012 every other week for 48 weeks.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Males or females, ages 18 to 65 years
  2. Confirmed diagnosis of Alport syndrome
  3. between 40 and 90 mL/min/1.73m2
  4. Proteinuria of at least 300 mg protein/g creatinine
  5. For subjects taking an ACE inhibitor or an ARB, the dosing regimen should be stable for at least 30 days prior to screening
  6. Willing to comply with requirements

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Causes of chronic kidney disease aside from Alport syndrome (such as diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive nephropathy, lupus nephritis, or IgA nephropathy)
  2. End stage renal disease (ESRD) as evidenced by ongoing dialysis therapy or history of renal transportation
  3. Any other condition that may pose a risk to the subject's safety and well-being
  4. Female subjects who are pregnant or lactating
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
