Study summary

This is a Phase 2 open label pilot study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of subcutaneously administered ELX-02 in patients with X-linked or autosomal recessive Alport Syndrome with Col4A5 and Col4A3/4 nonsense mutation.

In total, up to 8 participants, with a minimum of 3 adults, will be enrolled in the trial.

The study will be comprised of the following periods for each participant:

  • a Screening period of up to 6 weeks (42 days)
  • a total Treatment Period of 8 weeks (60 days)
  • a safety/efficacy Follow-up Period of 12 weeks (90 days) after the last treatment The Treatment Period will be a treatment of ELX-02 0.75 mg/kg SC QD for 8 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

  • A confirmed diagnosis of X-linked or autosomal recessive Alport Syndrome with a documented nonsense mutation of Col4A5 in a male or nonsense mutation of Col4A3 or Col4A4 (male or female)
  • The nonsense mutation should be UAG or UGA
  • >60 ml/min/1.73 m2 (based on CKD-EPI for ages ≥18 and Schwartz formula for participants \<18)
  • Urinary protein based on two spot urine collections [urine protein/creatinine ratio (UPCR) ≥ 500 mg/g]
  • Stable regimen of ACEi/ARB for at least 4 weeks before screening (unless there is a )

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of any organ transplantation
  • Mutation consistent with autosomal dominant Alport Syndrome
  • Liver disease characterized by cirrhosis or portal hypertension. Participants with (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and/or a total 3.0 times the (ULN) will be excluded
  • History of congestive heart failure diagnosed clinically or with documented (LVEF) ≤ 40%
  • History of dialysis
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

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.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events Associated With Administration of 0.75 mg/kg of ELX-02 Once Daily

    Treatment Emerging Adverse Events were defined as any adverse events with onset after the first administration of study medication through the end of the study, or any event that was present at baseline but worsened in intensity or was subsequently considered drug-related by the Investigator through the end of the study. Severe Treatment Emerging Adverse Event is a Treatment Emerging Adverse Events with CTCAE Grade 3 or above. Related Treatment Emerging Adverse Events is defined as a Treatment Emerging Adverse Events with a certain, probable/likely, or possible relationship to the study drug. Serious Adverse Events were Adverse Events resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening.

    Time frame: From the time of first dosing through the end of the follow-up period, a total of 5 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Proteinuria

    Change from baseline to End Of Treatment. Measurement of urine protein/ creatinine ratio (UPCR) in urine samples

    Time frame: From screening assessment to end of study treatment, total of 3 timepoints for results at Baseline, Week 4 and End of Treatment at Day 60.

  2. Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Collagen IV Expression (Combined Average of Alpha 3 and Alpha 4 Chains)

    Collagen IV expression was assessed by measuring the combined average of alpha 3 and alpha 4 chains, using Immunofluorescence method. Results are reported as percentage change from baseline to End of Treatment. Increase in Collagen IV expression indicate kidney structural improvement.

    Time frame: Baseline to End of Treatment (at Day 60)

  3. Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Collagen IV Expression (Foot Process Width in Renal Biopsy)

    Collagen IV expression was assessed by measuring podocyte foot process width in renal biopsy specimens, using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) method. Results are reported as percentage change from baseline to End of Treatment. Decrease values indicate kidney structural and morphological improvement.

    Time frame: Baseline to End of Treatment (at Day 60)

  4. Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Collagen IV Expression (Filtration Slit Density in Renal Biopsy)

    Collagen IV expression was assessed by measuring filtration slit density in renal biopsy specimens, using 3D-Structured Illumination Microscopy method. Results are reported as change from baseline. Increase values indicate improvement and protein recovery.

    Time frame: Baseline to End of Treatment (at Day 60)

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 24, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
