Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objectives of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of HLX79 in combination with HLX01 versus placebo in combination with HLX01 in the treatment of glomerulonephritis.

The secondary objective are to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and immunogenicity of HLX79 and HLX01, the clinical efficacy, the dynamic changes of biomarkers of HLX79 in combination with HLX01 in the treatment of glomerulonephritis.

The subjects will receive different doses of HLX79 (10, 20, or 30 mg/kg) or placebo, all in combination with HLX01. After the end of the first treatment period, subjects will enter a 20-week follow-up period and then undergo pre-second treatment period assessments. If the investigator determines that the subject does not require the second treatment period, the subject will continue in follow-up until completing the total 48-week follow-up period.
