About this trial

This is a Phase IIIb, multicenter, two-arm, randomized, double-blind, parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of zigakibart + atrasentan compared to zigakibart + placebo in patients with primary IgAN at risk of disease progression.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Aged ≥ 18 years at the time of signing the informed consent, prior to initiation of any study specific activities/procedures

Biopsy-proven IgAN diagnosed within the past 10 years prior to Screening, that, in the opinion of the Investigator, is not due to secondary causes. If a biopsy report within 10 years is not available, re-biopsy may be performed locally during Screening.

eGFR ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73m2 by a central laboratory at Screening, calculated using serum creatinine based on the 2021 CKD-EPI equation (Inker et al 2021)

UPCR ≥ 0.7 g/g (700 mg/g), as measured from a 24 hour urine collection by a central laboratory at Screening

Disqualifiers

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), either clinically suspected or based on biopsy, resulting from any condition or another glomerulopathy/podocytopathy other than IgAN

Secondary forms of IgAN as determined by the Investigator, in the setting of systemic disorders, infections, autoimmune disorders or neoplasia

Diagnosis of active IgA vasculitis

Clinical suspicion of IgAN with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) based on Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines (2025)
