Inclusion Criteria

  • All participants
  • Male or female participants aged ≥16 years.
  • uPCR ≥0.5 g/g (from the average of 3 first morning voids [FMVs]).
  • Screening eGFR ≥30 mL/min/1.73m2 calculated by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration creatinine equation (CKD-EPI GFR).
  • Participants receiving a renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitor, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, sparsentan, or atrasenten must have been on a stable dose (at the maximum recommended dose according to local guidelines or maximum tolerated dose) for at least 8 weeks prior to Study Day 1 and the dose is projected to remain stable until completion of the study.
  • Participants with IgAN only
  • Kidney biopsy-proven diagnosis of IgAN with a kidney biopsy that is obtained within 10 years of Day 1 or within 5 years of Day 1 if the participant is known or suspected of also having diabetic nephropathy.
  • Participants with LN only
  • Clinical diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
  • Kidney biopsy-proven diagnosis of LN with a kidney biopsy that is obtained within 24 weeks of Day
  • Diagnosis of active focal or diffuse LN class III or IV
  • Participants with C3G only
  • Kidney biopsy-proven diagnosis of C3G, either dense deposit disease (DDD) or complement component 3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN), with a kidney biopsy that is obtained within 52 weeks of Day
  • Participants receiving mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) (or mycophenolic acid) or prednisone ≥10 mg/d or equivalent must have been on a stable dose for at least 12 weeks before Day 1 that is projected to remain stable until completion of the study.

Exclusion Criteria

  • All participants
  • Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis defined as a 50% decline in eGFR within 12 weeks of screening.
  • Concomitant significant renal disease other than IgAN, C3G, or LN per investigator discretion.
  • Participants with a history of and/or presence of anti-factor H antibodies at screening.
  • Uncontrolled hypertension with mean seated systolic blood pressure (BP) ≥160 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥100 mmHg based on the average of 2 measurements obtained at approximately 2-minute intervals after the individual has been sitting for 5 minutes.
  • Kidney, other solid organs, or bone marrow transplantation prior to or expected to occur during the study.
  • History of splenectomy.
  • Participants with IgAN only
  • Secondary forms of IgAN
  • Received systemic corticosteroid therapy, oral budenoside, or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 12 weeks before Day
  • Participants with LN only
  • Lymphocyte count below 0.5 × 109/L at screening.
  • Received any of Cyclophosphamide, Calcineurin inhibitors, IV methylprednisolone, IV immunoglobulin therapy, Belimumab, Obinutuzumab and Rituximab treatments at protocol specified time points.
  • Participants with C3G only
  • Evidence of monoclonal gammopathy of unclear significance, infections, malignancy, autoimmune diseases, or other conditions to which C3G is secondary.
  • Received systemic corticosteroid therapy, eculizumab, iptacopan, pegcetacoplan, or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy ≤12 weeks before Day 1, except for MMF (or mycophenolic acid), which is permitted.
