Study Overview
Brief Summary
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy and tolerability of ARGX-117 in Deceased Donor Kidney Transplant Recipients at Risk for Delayed Graft Function.
The study consists of 2 parts: part A comprises the main study period, and part B comprises the long-term observational follow-up period. During part A, after the screening period, eligible participants will be randomized to receive either ARGX-117 or placebo, entering the treatment and evaluation period (duration of up to 52 weeks). After the treatment period, participants will enter a follow-up period of up to 12 weeks.
The total study duration varies from approximately 64 weeks up to 5 years post-transplant depending on whether a participant enrols in part B of the study.

- •Agree to use contraceptive measures consistent with local regulations
- •Are diagnosed with ESRD and have been stable on chronic dialysis for at least 3 months
- •Are recipients of de novo or second-time, single kidney transplant from a deceased donor, either DCD (donation after cardiac/circulatory death) or DBD ( (donation after brain death)

Exclusion Criteria
- •Any history of prothrombotic disorder or history of thrombosis or hypercoagulable state, excluding vascular access clotting
- •Any known history of complement deficiency
- •Evidence of peritonitis in participants on peritoneal dialysis
- •Received any solid organ, bone marrow, or hematopoietic stem cell transplant, with the exception of prior first kidney transplant
- •High risk within the study period for recurrence of underlying renal disease in the opinion of the investigator
- •Clinically significant comorbidity, recent major surgery (within 3 months of screening), history of any treatment nonadherence, or intention to have surgery during the study other than kidney transplantation; or any other medical condition that, in the investigator's opinion, would confound the results of the study or put the participant at undue risk
