EU CTIS ID: 2024-517498-25-00
What this study is testing

- Therapeutic exploratory (Phase II)
A plain-language read of the study's public EU CTIS listing. The study team confirms the details.
Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- ≥ 18 to ≤ 75 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent.
- To reduce the risk of meningococcal infection (N meningitidis), all participants must be vaccinated against meningococcal infection from serogroups A, C, W, Y (and B where available) at least 14 days prior to but no more than 3 years prior to Day 1. Participants who do not meet this requirement will be vaccinated against meningococcal infection before receiving the first dose of study intervention. If vaccination occurs < 14 days prior to Day 1, the participants will receive prophylactic antibiotics for at least 14 days after meningococcal vaccination for serogroups A, C, W, Y (and B where available). Participants must agree to get revaccinated according to national/local guidelines.
- Must be vaccinated for S pneumoniae prior to randomization according to current national/local vaccination guidelines.
- Must be vaccinated for H influenzae type B (where available) prior to randomization according to current national/local vaccination guidelines. If vaccination is not clinically indicated due to the inability to mount an immune response, see Section 8.3.9 of the Protocol for instructions on antibiotic prophylactics.
- Kidney transplant received ≥6 months prior to Screening.
- Diagnosis of active or chronic active AMR according to Banff 2022 classification based on Screening kidney biopsy
You likely can't join if
- Biopsy-based diagnosis of any of the following at Screening: • TCMR, according to the Banff grade ≥ 1 (note: participants with borderline TCMR are eligible for the study) • Polyoma virus nephropathy • Severe thrombotic microangiopathy • Glomerulonephritis
- Known medical or psychological conditions, including substance use disorder (including alcohol), or risk factor that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might interfere with the participant’s full participation in the study, pose any additional risk for the participant, or confound the assessment of the participant or outcome of the study.
- Hypersensitivity to any ingredient contained in the study intervention, including history of hypersensitivity to an oligonucleotide or GalNAc moiety.
- Any malignancy within the past 5 years except for basal cell or squamous epithelial carcinomas of the skin that have been resected with no evidence of metastatic disease for 3 years.
- Planned or recent treatments, < 90 days prior to the Screening Visit and during Screening, for Acute Rejection, AMR (including plasmapheresis, plasma exchange, IVIg, B-cell depleting therapy, interleukin inhibitors, proteasome inhibitors, high-dose corticosteroids [except for tapering]), HDS products with known hepatotoxic ingredients, TCMR (including T-cell depleting therapy), excluding the SoC treatment which will be allowed and should be stable during the entire treatment. The participant not on an immunosuppressive regimen containing a calcineurin inhibitor must be excluded.
- Participation in another interventional treatment study or use of any experimental therapy within 90 days prior to Screening or within 5 half-lives of that investigational product, whichever is greater, or planned participation/use during the course of the study.
