About this trial

The primary objectives of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of HLX79 in combination with HLX01 versus placebo in combination with HLX01 in the treatment of glomerulonephritis.

The secondary objective are to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and immunogenicity of HLX79 and HLX01, the clinical efficacy, the dynamic changes of biomarkers of HLX79 in combination with HLX01 in the treatment of glomerulonephritis.

The subjects will receive different doses of HLX79 (10, 20, or 30 mg/kg) or placebo, all in combination with HLX01. After the end of the first treatment period, subjects will enter a 20-week follow-up period and then undergo pre-second treatment period assessments. If the investigator determines that the subject does not require the second treatment period, the subject will continue in follow-up until completing the total 48-week follow-up period.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Number of Participants With Abnormal Laboratory Values and/or Adverse Events That Are Related to Treatment

Including incidence, nature, and severity of adverse events (AEs) according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v5.0, and the incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs), adverse events of special interest (AESIs), abnormal laboratory tests, vital signs, physical examination, and 12-lead ECG

Time frame
24 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Assessment of safety

Safety: Proportion of subjects with at least one Grade 3 or greater infection-related AE in each dose group according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v5.0. Grade refers to the severity of the AE. The CTCAE displays Grades 1 through 5 with unique clinical descriptions of severity for each AE, and higher grades mean a worse outcome.
