A Phase 1 interventional study of CPV-104/Placebo and CPV-104 in C3 Glomerulopathy (C3G) and Healthy Adult Participants, sponsored by eleva GmbH. Recruiting at 17 sites in 12 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-09.

This study is the first time the new medicine CPV-104 is being tested in people. CPV-104 is designed to regulate the complement system, which can be overactive in diseases such as C3 glomerulopathy (C3G), an ultra-rare kidney disorder.
The study includes healthy adults and adult patients with C3G to assess safety, tolerability, how the body processes the medicine, and whether the immune system reacts to it. The study is divided in two part; in Part 1 (SAD), healthy volunteers receive one IV dose of CPV-104 or a placebo while in Part 2 (MAD) patients with C3G receive four weekly IV doses of CPV-104 (no placebo).
Participants will have close monitoring, including side-effect checks, blood and urine tests, ECGs, vital signs, and blood samples to measure drug levels and antibodies. For those with C3G, researchers will also observe kidney function, although the main goal is safety, not testing effectiveness.
A Safety Review Committee will regularly review results to ensure it is safe to continue to the next dose or study group.
CPV-104-101 is a phase 1, first-in-human, dose-escalation, prospective trial, which will be conducted in two parts: Part 1 (Single Ascending Dose with healthy volunteers - SAD-HV) and Part 2 (Multiple Ascending Dose with C3G patients - MAD-C3G). Part 1 is double-blind, randomized, and placebo-controlled, while Part 2 is open-label and single-arm (CPV-104 only).
Following a screening period, 21 healthy volunteers who meet the eligibility criteria will be assigned to one of four cohorts in SAD-HV Part 1. Three healthy volunteers will be assigned to Cohort 1 within SAD-HV Part 1 to receive a single dose of CPV-104. After completion of Cohort 1, 18 healthy volunteers will be randomly allocated within SAD-HV Cohorts 2, 3, and 4 to receive a single dose of either CPV-104 or placebo.
After completion of SAD-HV Part 1, 18 C3G patients will be allocated within MAD-C3G Cohorts 5, 6, and 7 to receive four doses of CPV-104.
All treatments will be administered intravenously by a healthcare professional (HCP). Before dosing in Cohorts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 can begin, safety data will be reviewed by an SRC. Safety data from Cohorts 2, 3 and 4 will be blinded for the principal investigators and the medical monitor in the SRC. Safety data will be unblinded for the three independent members of the SRC.

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.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
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.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
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.
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.
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.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.
The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.
