A Phase 2 Trial of Sibeprenlimab in Patients with IgA Nephropathy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) is implicated in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy. Sibeprenlimab is a humanized IgG2 monoclonal antibody that binds to and neutralizes APRIL.

Methods

In this phase 2, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial, we randomly assigned adults with biopsy-confirmed IgA nephropathy who were at high risk for disease progression, despite having received standard-care treatment, in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to receive intravenous sibeprenlimab at a dose of 2, 4, or 8 mg per kilogram of body weight or placebo once monthly for 12 months. The primary end point was the change from baseline in the log-transformed 24-hour urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio at month 12. Secondary end points included the change
