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

An Open-label, Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of KP104 in Subjects With IgA Nephropathy (IgAN) and Complement 3 Glomerulopathy (C3G)

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

• Nephrotic syndrome defined as presence of substantial proteinuria (> 3.5 g/24 hours), hypoalbuminemia (< 30 grams per liter [g/L]), and edema/hyperlipidemia. Nephrotic range proteinuria alone is acceptable.
• Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, defined as a fall in eGFR of > 30 mL/min/1.73 m^2 within 24 weeks prior to the Screening Visit
