Efficacy, Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of KP104 to Treat Glomerulonephritis

Phase 2

Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Glomerulonephritis
• Interventions: Drug: KP104

• Registration Number: NCT05517980
• Lead Sponsor: Kira Pharmacenticals (US), LLC.

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of KP104 in participants with IgAN and C3G. The study will start with enrolling the IgAN cohort. Approximately 42 participants with IgAN will be enrolled in 2 stages: Stage 1 will be used to collect safety, immunogenicity, PK, and PD data to select the optimal biologic dose (OBD) of KP104 for IgAN, as well as to preliminarily explore the effect of KP104 on C3G. Stage 2 will be used to collect safety, immunogenicity, PK, PD, and efficacy data at the OBD dose of KP104 for IgAN and C3G. As soon as the OBD for IgAN is determined, eligible participants with C3G will be enrolled and dosed at the OBD for IgAN for a minimum of 48 weeks for weekly maintenance dosing and a minimum of 47 weeks for biweekly maintenance dosing. Approximately 10 participants with C3G will be enrolled.

Exclusion Criteria

• Any clinically significant, poorly controlled underlying illness other than IgAN or C3G, as determined by the investigator
• Treatment of any infection with IV (within 30 days of Screening) or oral (within 14 days of Screening) antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals
• History of infections with encapsulated organisms
• History of untreated tuberculosis
• Positive serology for hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) at Screening

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
C3G Cohort Stage 2	KP104	Participants will receive weekly or biweekly maintenance doses of KP104 at the OBD.
IgAN Cohort Stage 2	KP104	Participants will receive weekly or biweekly maintenance doses of KP104 at the OBD.
IgAN Cohort Stage 1 Dose 1	KP104	Participants will be randomized to receive weekly or biweekly maintenance doses of KP104 at Dose 1. Participants in Stage 1 will also have the opportunity to be switched to the OBD if they are still in the treatment period.
C3G Cohort Stage 1 Dose 1	KP104	Participants will be randomized to receive weekly or biweekly maintenance doses of KP104 at Dose 1. Participants in Stage 1 will also have the opportunity to be switched to the OBD if they are still in the treatment period.
IgAN Cohort Stage 1 Dose 2	KP104	Participants will be randomized to receive weekly or biweekly maintenance doses of KP104 at Dose 2. Participants in Stage 1 will also have the opportunity to be switched to the OBD if they are still in the treatment period.
C3G Cohort Stage 1 Dose 2	KP104	Participants will be randomized to receive weekly or biweekly maintenance doses of KP104 at Dose 2. Participants in Stage 1 will also have the opportunity to be switched to the OBD if they are still in the treatment period.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Percent change from Baseline in 24-hour urinary protein creatinine ratio (UPCR) at Week 24 (C3G) for participants in Stage 2	Baseline and at Week 24	The UPCR will be calculated as percent change in protein (Pr)/ Creatinine (Cr).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of participants reporting Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)	Up to 56 Weeks	An adverse event (AE) is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease or any worsening of a pre-existing condition temporally associated with the use of a study drug, whether or not related to study drug. A TEAE is defined as any AE that started or worsened in severity on or after the first dose of study treatment.
Number of participants reporting AEs of Special Interest (AESIs)	Up to 56 Weeks	An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease or any worsening of a pre-existing condition temporally associated with the use of a study drug, whether or not related to study drug. Number of participants with AESIs including infections and local or systemic administration reactions will be assessed.
Maximum concentration (Cmax) of KP104	At Baseline (Day 1), Days 8, 15, 22, 29, 43, 57, 85, 169, 253, 337, 365 and 395	Blood samples will collected at indicated timepoints to assess Cmax.
