Study summary

This is a Phase 2, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study with an optional open label extension to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Telitacicept for Injection (RC18) in the treatment of IgA nephropathy.

Read the detailed description

IgA nephropathy is a kidney disease in which IgA, a protein meant to defend the body against foreign invaders, accumulates in the kidneys and damages them. This study will seek to determine the safety and efficacy of Telitacicept for Injection (RC18) in the treatment of IgA nephropathy.

The study is composed of 4 parts: a screening period, a double-blind treatment period, an optional open label extension, and a follow-up period. Subjects with confirmed IgA nephropathy will be enrolled and randomized 1:1:1 to Telitacicept 160 mg, Telitacicept 240 mg, or placebo (10 per arm).
