New treatment option for Glomerulonephritis Rapidly Progressive
Official title Rescue of Nephrons With ALE.F02 (RENAL-F02)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06047171
What this study is testing
What is ALE.F02?
ALE.F02 is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for glomerulonephritis rapidly progressive.
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 goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new drug that might help protect and preserve kidney function in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis (AAV). AAV is a type of autoimmune disease where the body's own immune system attacks itself, and in the case of AAV the body attacks its own small blood vessels.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug.
