Brief Summary

A Phase 3 Study with Atacicept in Subjects With IgA Nephropathy (ORIGIN 3)

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a multi-part study comprising of the original Phase 2b study and the addition of a separate pivotal Phase 3 study.

After the completion of the primary results for the Ph 2b dose ranging study, the pivotal study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of atacicept compared to placebo in reducing proteinuria in subjects with IgAN and persistent proteinuria despite being on a maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of a RASi. Safety, eGFR, serum immunoglobulins and Gd-IgA1 will also be clinically assessed. The clinical study is comprised of a 104wk double-blind treatment period, followed by a 52wk open-label treatment period and a 26wk safety follow-up period. The UPCR primary endpoint will be assessed after the first 200 patients are randomized.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Must have the ability to understand and sign a written informed consent form
* Male or female of ≥18 years of age
* Total urine protein excretion ≥1.0 g per 24-hour or urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPCR) ≥1.0 mg/mg based on a 24-hour urine sample during the Screening Period

* eGFR ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2, as per the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation.
* On a stable prescribed regimen of RAASi for at least 12 weeks that is at the maximum labeled or tolerated dose at Screening
* Systolic blood pressure ≤150 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure ≤90 mmHg

Exclusion Criteria

* IgAN secondary to another condition (e.g., liver cirrhosis), or other causes of mesangial IgA deposition including IgA vasculitis (i.e., Henoch-Schonlein purpura), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), dermatitis herpetiformis, ankylosing spondylitis
* Total urine protein excretion ≥ 5g per 24-hour or urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPCR) ≥ 5 mg/mg based on a 24-hour urine sample during the Screening Period
* Evidence of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (loss of ≥ 50% of eGFR within 3 months of screening)
* Evidence of nephrotic syndrome within 6 months of screening (serum albumin \<30g/L in association with UPCR \>3.5 mg/mg
* Renal or other organ transplantation prior to, or expected during the study
* Concomitant chronic renal disease in addition to IgAN
* Uncontrolled diabetes, defined as hemoglobin-A1c (HbA1c) \>7.5% at screening
* History of tuberculosis (TB), untreated latent TB infection (LTBI), or evidence of active TB determined by a positive Quantiferon test
* Participation in the Phase 2b (Parts A and B) study or any previous treatment with atacicept
