Detailed Description

Anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease is a severe, rare autoimmune disorder with an internationally reported incidence of 0.5-1/1 million. It is defined as a vasculitis in which anti-GBM antibodies affect glomerular capillaries, pulmonary capillaries or both. Pulmonary involvement leads to pulmonary haemorrhage and renal involvement can lead to glomerulonephritis with necrosis and crescents.

Anti-GBM disease is a severe autoimmune disorder characterised by rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and positive anti-GBM antibodies. Antibodies can be found in the circulation and deposited in the lungs and kidneys, mediating renal injury through complement activation and recruitment of inflammatory cells. If left untreated, the vast majority of patients will progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or die from pulmonary haemorrhage. Early detection and measures to reduce anti-GBM antibody levels have the potential to alter prognosis and protect renal function. Unfortunately, many patients with anti-GBM disease are diagnosed late and renal function is not restored even with an aggressive treatment regimen of plasma exchange (PE) combined with immunosuppression. Current KDIGO (Kidney Disease Improving Global Prognosis Organisation) guidelines state that the clinical treatment of anti-GBM disease is a combination of glucocorticoids, cyclophosphamide and PE. Despite treatment, patients continue to produce anti-GBM antibodies in their bodies. Rebound anti-GBM antibodies are usually indicative of adverse renal outcomes and PE must be initiated to remove the rebound antibodies.PE is an effective means of removing circulating anti-GBM antibodies, but only removes about 1/3 of the percentage per treatment, so multiple treatments are required to achieve complete removal.

This is a single-arm Phase II study designed to evaluate the preliminary efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and immunogenicity of KJ103 in patients with anti-GBM disease. The trial is expected to enrol 9 to 12 subjects who will receive KJ103 treatment.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion criteria:

  1. Patients aged ≥18 years, both sexes.
  2. Diagnosed with anti-GBM disease. Positive anti-GBM antibodies at screening, with or without ANCA antibody positivity.
  3. With or without symptoms of haematuria and proteinuria.
  4. Patients of childbearing potential who do not plan to have children during the study and for 6 months after the end of the study, or who are using effective contraception during sexual intercourse.

Exclusion criteria:

  1. Anuria for more than 24 hours prior to the first dose.
  2. Diagnosis of anti-GBM disease more than 14 days prior to first dose.
  3. Moderate to severe pulmonary haemorrhage requiring mechanical ventilation during the screening period, including those occurring within two weeks prior to signing the informed consent form.
  4. Severe renal disease not caused by anti-GBM disease, such as lupus nephritis, which, in the opinion of the investigator, makes them unsuitable for participation in this study.
  5. Pregnant or breastfeeding at the time of screening.
  6. Have a serious underlying medical condition other than anti-GBM disease, such as infection, autoimmune disease, respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, central nervous system disease, etc., that the investigator deems unsuitable for participation in this trial.

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Experimental Group
KJ103 +SOC(SoC consists of a standardized combination of PE, Cyclophosphamide, and glucocorticoids)
Drug: Glucocorticoids
Glucocorticoids inhibit the inflammation process.
Drug: KJ103 for Injection
Subjects will administered KJ103 intravenously on D1 and adjunctively on D8
Drug: Cyclophosphamide
Hence treatment prevents formation of new anti-GBM antibodies.
Procedure: Plasma exchange (PE)
PLEX removes the patient's pathogenic anti-GBM antibodies, by replacement of deficient plasma with a replacement fluid.
