About this trial

This is a parallel, Phase 2a, double-blind, 6-arm study for the treatment of primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) or minimal change disease (MCD).

The purpose of this study is to measure the change in proteinuria and its impact on the rates of remission of nephrotic syndrome with frexalimab, brivekimig or rilzabrutinib compared with placebo in participants with primary FSGS or MCD aged 16 to 75 years.

Study details for each participant include:

The study duration will be up to 52 weeks. The treatment duration will be 24 weeks. There will be up to 16 visits.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Biopsy report indicative of primary FSGS or MCD, with supportive clinical presentation per Investigator's judgement.

UPCR ≥3 g/g at screening, or ≥ 1.5 g/g in those with eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2.

eGFR ≥45 mL/min/1.73 m² at screening.

Documented history of UPCR or UACR (or 24-hour urine protein or 24-hour urine albumin) reduction by >40% in response to corticosteroid or other immunosuppressive therapy when pre-treatment UPCR was ≥3.5 g/g or equivalent for UACR (or pre-treatment 24-hr urine protein was ≥3.5 g/day if 24-hour urine protein is used or equivalent for 24-hr urine albumin if 24-hour urine albumin is used).

Disqualifiers

Genetic or secondary FSGS or MCD. Those with APOL1 risk alleles are eligible.

Collapsing variant of FSGS.

ESKD requiring dialysis or transplantation.
