Recruiting PHASE3 C3G

Tests treatment safety and results for C3G

Official title Study of Efficacy and Safety of Iptacopan in Patients With C3 Glomerulopathy.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04817618

What this study is testing

What is iptacopan?

iptacopan is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for c3g.

Also referred to as LNP023.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The Primary Completion Date and Study Completion Date have been updated to reflect completion of the adolescent cohort, which has been added to the protocol. The study is designed as a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of iptacopan (LNP023) in complement 3 glomerulopathy.
  • Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.

What rules you out
  • Participants who have received any cell or organ transplantation, including a kidney transplantation.

  • Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) confirmed by the measurement of serum free light chains or other investigation as per local standard of care.
  • Participants with an active systemic bacterial, viral or fungal infection within 14 days prior to study treatment administration
  • The presence of fever ≥ 38°C (100.4°F) within 7 days prior to study treatment administration.
  • A history of recurrent invasive infections caused by encapsulated organisms, e.g., N. meningitidis and S. pneumoniae.
  • The use of inhibitors of complement factors (e.g., Factor B, Factor D, C3 inhibitors, anti C5 antibodies, C5a receptor antagonists) within 6 months prior to the Screening visit.
  • The use of immunosuppressants (except mycophenolic acids), cyclophosphamide or systemic corticosteroids at a dose \>7.5 mg/day (or equivalent for a similar medication) within 90 days of study drug administration.
