Key Inclusion Criteria:
All participants
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
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
Diagnosis of active focal or diffuse LN class III or IV
Participants with C3G only
Key Exclusion Criteria All participants
History of splenectomy.
Participants with IgAN only
Received systemic therapy, oral budenoside, or any other form of therapy within 12 weeks before Day 1.
Participants with LN only
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
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 (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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
