This research study is evaluating an investigational medication for IgA nephropathy (IgAN) in adults. You may be able to take part in this study if you:

  • Are at least 18 years of age

  • Have been diagnosed with IgAN

  • Have been on stable therapy for IgAN for at least 12 weeks

  • Have no other disease that affects your kidneys

The study will involve up to 40 visits over the course of about 2 years and is divided into 2 year-long periods. Those who qualify will receive either the investigational medication or a placebo (a substance that looks like the investigational medication but contains no active ingredients), in addition to standard-of-care therapy. 

Each year-long period includes 22 weeks of subcutaneous (under the skin) injections (weekly for 9 doses, then every other week for 7 doses), followed by a 30-week dosing-free phase. Those who complete the study may be eligible for a continuation study.

Participation can last about 2 years, which includes up to 40 visits to the study center.

The investigational medication is a compound that aims to slow down the progression of IgAN by reducing how much of the defective IgA protein is produced in the body. It will be given as a subcutaneous (under the skin) injection.

Do not discontinue any medication unless you are advised to do so by the study staff or your primary care provider.

Travel-related support as well as compensation for time spent during site visits or meal allowance for this study may be available depending on country and site regulatory approvals. The investigational medication, placebo, and all study-related tests will be provided to participants during their study participation.

Clinical research studies are designed in specific ways, and one or more of the answers that you provided were outside of the guidelines for this study. This does not mean you will not qualify for different research studies.
