About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), immunogenicity, and preliminary efficacy of YK012 in participants with primary membranous nephropathy (PMN).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Aged 18 to 80 years (inclusive), regardless of gender.
Kidney biopsy-confirmed diagnosis of primary (idiopathic) membranous nephropathy within the past 10 years.
Elevated 24-hour urine protein, meeting the pre-defined criteria.
Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥60 mL/min/1.73m² as calculated by the CKD-EPI equation.
Disqualifiers
Diagnosis of secondary membranous nephropathy.
Any prior receipt of protocol-specified pharmacological treatment for membranous nephropathy.
History of malignancy within 5 years prior to enrollment.
Poorly controlled hypertension at enrollment.
Trial design
Sequential
Treatments tested in this trial
YK012
DrugYK012 is a bispecific antibody targeting CD19 on B cells and CD3 on T cells leading to T cell-mediated cytotoxicity of malignant B cells
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Ia: Dose-limiting Toxicity(DLT)
Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) is defined as adverse events occurring within 28 days after the first dose and assessed by the investigator as related to the Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP).
Ia: Adverse Event (AE)
An AE is defined as any untoward medical event that occurs after a participant receives the investigational drug, which may be manifested as symptoms, signs, diseases, or laboratory abnormalities, but may not necessarily have a causal relationship with the investigational drug.
Ia: Severe Adverse Event
An SAE refers to any untoward medical occurrence after the participant receives the IMP that results in one or more of the following: death, life-threatening event, permanent or serious disability or loss of function, hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, congenital abnormalities or birth defects.
Ib: Proportion of participants achieving overall response
Secondary outcomes
Ia: Area Under the Curve (AUC) of a serum concentration versus time profile
Ia: Area Under the Curve of a serum concentration to infinite time (AUC0-infinity)
Ia: Maximum concentration (Cmax) of YK012
Ia: Time to reach Cmax (Tmax)
