Recruitment & Eligibility
- Status
- TERMINATED
- Sex
- All
- Target Recruitment
- 39
- Be greater than or equal to (>=) 18 and less than or equal to (<=) 70 years of age.
- Weigh >= 45 kg with a body mass index (BMI) less than (<) 35 kilogram (kg)/meter (m)^2 at screening.
- Have human leukocyte antigen (HLA) donor-specific antibody (DSA) identified at the time of diagnosis of AMR. If it is anticipated that the local DSA results will not be available within the screening period, previously obtained local DSA results can be used to assess eligibility, if obtained after kidney transplant and within 30 days prior to the qualifying AMR episode. In any instance, a local DSA test should still be performed at the time of AMR diagnosis.
- Have a first qualifying episode of AMR in the participant's current renal allograft between 72 hours (h) and 12 months after transplant defined by a renal allograft biopsy demonstrating neutrophil and/or monocyte infiltration in the peritubular capillaries (PTC) and/or glomeruli with or without evidence of 4th complement protein degradation product (C4d) deposition by immunohistopathology according to 2013 Banff criteria.
- Have achieved adequate renal function defined as: Pre-AMR baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate calculated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (eGFRMDRD) >=20 millilitre (mL)/minute (min) /1.73m^2 for a qualifying AMR episode occurring <=21 days after transplant or pre-AMR baseline eGFRMDRD >=30 mL/min/1.7m^2 for a qualifying AMR episode occurring greater than (>) 21 days after transplant. The pre-AMR baseline is the highest eGFRMDRD value obtained following the kidney transplant and within 30 days prior to the qualifying AMR episode. If more than 1 eGFRMDRD value is available, a mean of the 2 highest values (at least 1 day apart and both prior to the AMR episode) will be used as the pre-AMR baseline value. If no eGFRMDRD was obtained within 30 days prior to biopsy, it can be evaluated within a 60 day period.
- Receive first dose of investigational product after 7 days after the kidney transplant procedure and within 7 days after the qualifying renal allograft biopsy procedure that was positive for AMR.
- Be informed of the nature of the study and provide written informed consent before any study-specific procedures are performed.

- Have primary Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, membrano-proliferative glomerulonephritis type 1 (including C3 glomerulopathy), "dense deposit disease", or thrombotic microangiopathy as the cause of native kidney failure.
- Have prior or concurrent non-renal solid organ transplant or hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) or have more than 2 completed kidney transplant procedures (note: 1 double kidney transplant procedure is considered to be 1 procedure).
- Have a known neoplastic lesion in the transplanted allograft
- Have, any ongoing infection that causes hemodynamic compromise or as determined by the investigator, any surgical or medical condition that could interfere with the administration of investigational product, interpretation of study results, or could compromise participant safety, including (as determined by the transplanting surgeon and documented in the operative report) any major technical complications of the renal artery, renal vein, or ureteral anastomosis

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Participants With New or Worsening Transplant Glomerulopathy (TG) at Month 6 Post-Treatment Month 6 New or worsening TG at month 6 by the standard score was defined as an increase in one or more between qualifying biopsy and 6-month biopsy. New or worsening TG was measured by Banff 2013 criteria (standard score) using allograft glomerulopathy (Cg0-Cg3): Cg0- No GBM double contours by light microscopy (LM) or electron microscopy (EM); Cg1- no GBM double contours by LM but GBM double contours in at least 3 glomerular capillaries by EM; Cg2- Double contours affecting 26 to 50% of peripheral capillary loops in the most affected of nonsclerotic glomeruli; Cg3- Double contours affecting more than 50% of peripheral capillary loops in the most affected of nonsclerotic glomeruli with a score range of 0 (no allograft glomerulopathy) and 3 (severe glomerulopathy). Percentage of participants with new or worsening TG at Month 6 post-treatment was reported.
