Inclusion Criteria

1. Written informed consent must be obtained before any study-specific assessment is

performed.

2. Female and male patients greater than or equal to 18 years of age with a biopsy-verified IgA nephropathy and where the biopsy was performed within the previous three years. If the most recent renal biopsy was performed more than three years ago, a new biopsy should be performed.

3. Able to communicate well with the investigator, to understand and comply with the

requirements of the study.

4. Patients must weigh at least 35 kg to participate in the study, and must have a body mass index within the range of 15 to 38 kg per m2. BMI is equal to Body weight (kg) divided by Height (m)2

5. Measured GFR or estimated GFR calculated using the CKD-EPI formula (or modified

MDRD formula according to specific ethnic groups and local practice guidelines

(Imai et al 2011)) more than or equal to 30 mL per min per 1.73 m2

6. Urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPCR) more than or equal to 0.8 g per g (more than or equal to 90 mg per mmol) sampled from first

morning void (FMV) or urine protein more than or equal to 0.75 g per 24hr from a 24h urine collection at screening and urine protein more than or equal to 0.75 g per 24h from a 24h urine collection at the completion of the run-in period.

7. Vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis types A, C, Y and W-135 is required at least 4

weeks prior to first dosing with LNP023. Vaccination against N. meningitidis type B

should be conducted if available and acceptable by local regulations, at least 4 weeks prior

to first dosing.

8. Vaccination for the prevention of S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae, if available and

acceptable by local regulations, at least 4 weeks prior to first dosing.

9. All patients must have been on supportive care including a maximally tolerated dose of

ACEi or ARB therapy for the individual, antihypertensive therapy or diuretics for at least 90 days before dosing.

10. Laboratory values must meet the following criteria:

hemoglobin more than or equal to 9.0 g per dL

platelet count more than or equal to 100,000 per mm3.

11. Vital signs should be within the following ranges

body temperature between 35.0 to 37.5 °C

systolic blood pressure 90 to 160 mm Hg

diastolic blood pressure 50 to 90 mm Hg

pulse rate 40 to 90bpm, below 50bpm if no other clinically significant ECG abnormalities as

per Investigator decision. For subjects with heart rates less than 50 bpm, evidence should

be provided that they have no history of

(i) moderate or severe valvular disease

(ii) history of coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, hypertension or diabetes

mellitus

(iii) history of cardiomyopathy, congenital heart defect, open heart surgery, or

ongoing arrhythmia

(iv) family history of sudden death in a first degree relative.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Presence of crescent formation in more than or equal to 50 percent of glomeruli assessed on renal biopsy.

2. Patients previously treated with immunosuppressive agents such as cyclophosphamide, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) or mycophenolate sodium, cyclosporine, tacrolimus,

sirolimus or systemic corticosteroids exposure within 90 days prior to start of

LNP023 or Placebo dosing.

3. Patients who previously have received LNP023. Use of other investigational drugs at the

time of enrollment, or within 5 half-lives of enrollment, or within 30 days, whichever is

longer; or longer if required by local regulations.

4. All transplanted patients (any organ, including bone marrow)

5. History of immunodeficiency diseases, or a positive HIV (ELISA and Western blot) test

result.

Chronic infection with Hepatitis B (HBV) or Hepatitis C (HCV). A positive HBV surface

antigen (HBsAg) test, or if standard local practice, a positive HBV core antigen test,

excludes a patient. Patients with a positive HCV antibody test should have HCV RNA

levels measured. Subjects with positive (detectable) HCV RNA should be excluded

6. Any surgical or medical condition which might significantly alter the absorption,

distribution, metabolism, or excretion of drugs, or which may jeopardize the subject in

case of participation in the study. The Investigator should make this determination in

consideration of the subjectâ??s medical history and/or clinical or laboratory evidence of any

of the following:

i.A history of invasive infections caused by encapsulated organisms, e.g.

meningococcus or pneumococcus

ii.Splenectomy

iii.Inflammatory bowel disease, peptic ulcers, severe gastrointestinal disorder including

rectal bleeding

iv.Major gastrointestinal tract surgery such as gastrectomy, gastroenterostomy, or bowel

resection

v.Pancreatic injury or pancreatitis;

vi.Liver disease or liver injury as indicated by abnormal liver function tests. ALT

(SGPT), AST (SGOT), GGT, alkaline phosphatase and serum bilirubin will be tested.

vii.Any single parameter of ALT, AST, GGT, alkaline phosphatase or serum bilirubin

must not exceed 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN)

viii.PT/INR must be within the reference range of normal individuals

ix.Evidence of urinary obstruction or difficulty in voiding any urinary tract disorder

other than IgAN that is associated with hematuria at screening and before dosing;

(If necessary, laboratory testing may be repeated on one occasion (as soon as

possible) prior to randomization, to rule out any laboratory error)

7. Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women, where pregnancy is defined as the state of a female after conception and until the termination of gestation, confirmed by a positive hCG laboratory test.

8. A history of clinically significant ECG abnormalities, or any of the following ECG abnormalities at screening or baseline:

a.PR more than 200 msec

b.QRS complex more than 120 msec

c.QTcF more than 450 msec (males)

d.QTcF more than 460 msec (females)

e.History of familial long QT syndrome or known family history of Torsades de Pointes

f.Use of agents known to prolong the QT interval unless th
