Eligibility criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

All participants

  1. Male or female participants aged ≥16 years.
  2. uPCR ≥0.5 g/g (from the average of 3 first morning voids [FMVs]).
  3. Screening ≥30 mL/min/1.73m2 calculated by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration creatinine equation (CKD-EPI GFR).
  4. Participants receiving a renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitor, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, sparsentan, or atrasenten must have been on a stable dose (at the maximum recommended dose according to local guidelines or maximum tolerated dose) for at least 8 weeks prior to Study Day 1 and the dose is projected to remain stable until completion of the study.

    Participants with IgAN only

  5. Kidney -proven diagnosis of IgAN with a kidney biopsy that is obtained within 10 years of Day 1 or within 5 years of Day 1 if the participant is known or suspected of also having diabetic nephropathy.

    Participants with LN only

  6. Clinical diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
  7. Kidney biopsy-proven diagnosis of LN with a kidney biopsy that is obtained within 24 weeks of Day 1.
  8. Diagnosis of active focal or diffuse LN class III or IV

    Participants with C3G only

  9. Kidney biopsy-proven diagnosis of C3G, either dense deposit disease (DDD) or complement component 3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN), with a kidney biopsy that is obtained within 52 weeks of Day 1.
  10. Participants receiving mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) (or mycophenolic acid) or prednisone ≥10 mg/d or equivalent must have been on a stable dose for at least 12 weeks before Day 1 that is projected to remain stable until completion of the study.

Key Exclusion Criteria All participants

  1. Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis defined as a 50% decline in eGFR within 12 weeks of screening.
  2. Concomitant significant renal disease other than IgAN, C3G, or LN per investigator discretion.
  3. Participants with a history of and/or presence of anti-factor H antibodies at screening.
  4. Uncontrolled hypertension with mean seated systolic blood pressure (BP) ≥160 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥100 mmHg based on the average of 2 measurements obtained at approximately 2-minute intervals after the individual has been sitting for 5 minutes.
  5. Kidney, other solid organs, or bone marrow transplantation prior to or expected to occur during the study.
  6. History of splenectomy.

    Participants with IgAN only

  7. Secondary forms of IgAN
  8. Received systemic therapy, oral budenoside, or any other form of therapy within 12 weeks before Day 1.

    Participants with LN only

  9. Lymphocyte count below 0.5 × 109/L at screening.
  10. Received any of Cyclophosphamide, Calcineurin inhibitors, IV methylprednisolone, IV immunoglobulin therapy, Belimumab, Obinutuzumab and Rituximab treatments at protocol specified time points.

    Participants with C3G only

  11. Evidence of monoclonal gammopathy of unclear significance, infections, , diseases, or other conditions to which C3G is secondary.
  12. Received systemic corticosteroid therapy, eculizumab, iptacopan, pegcetacoplan, or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy ≤12 weeks before Day 1, except for MMF (or mycophenolic acid), which is permitted.
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.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.
