What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests an experimental drug called ADX-097 in people aged 16 and older with three kidney conditions: IgA nephropathy, lupus nephritis, and C3 glomerulopathy. The drug is given as an injection under the skin and is designed to reduce inflammation and protein leakage in the urine. Researchers will monitor safety, how the drug moves through the body, and whether it helps preserve kidney function over time.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
ADX-097
What this could lead to
If successful, ADX-097 could offer a new treatment option to slow kidney damage and reduce protein leakage in people with certain inflammatory kidney diseases.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase 2 study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may cause side effects or fail to improve kidney function.

Key Inclusion Criteria: All participants 1. Male or female participants aged ≥16 years. 2. uPCR ≥0.5 g/g (from the average of 3 first morning voids \[FMVs\]). 3. Screening eGFR ≥30 mL/min/1.73m2 calculated by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration creatinine equation (CKD-EPI GFR). 4. Participants receiving a renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitor, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, sparsentan, or atrasenten must have been on a stable dose (at the maximum recommended dose according to local guidelines or maximum tolerated dose) for at least 8 weeks prior to Study Day 1 and the dose is projected to remain stable until completion of the study. Participants with IgAN only 5. Kidney biopsy-proven diagnosis of IgAN with a kidney biopsy that is obtained within 10 years of Day 1 or within 5 years of Day 1 if the participant is known or suspected of also having diabetic nephropathy. Participants with LN only 6. Clinical diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) 7. Kidney biopsy-proven diagnosis of LN with a kidney biopsy that is obtained within 24 weeks of Day 1. 8. Diagnosis of active focal or diffuse LN class III or IV Participants with C3G only 9. Kidney biopsy-proven diagnosis of C3G, either dense deposit disease (DDD) or complement component 3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN), with a kidney biopsy that is obtained within 52 weeks of Day 1. 10. Participants receiving mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) (or mycophenolic acid) or prednisone ≥10 mg/d or equivalent must have been on a stable dose for at least 12 weeks before Day 1 that is projected to remain stable until completion of the study. Key Exclusion Criteria All participants 1. Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis defined as a 50% decline in eGFR within 12 weeks of screening. 2. Concomitant significant renal disease other than IgAN, C3G, or LN per investigator discretion. 3. Participants with a history of and/or presence of anti-factor H antibodies at screening. 4. Uncontrolled hypertension with mean seated systolic blood pressure (BP) ≥160 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥100 mmHg based on the average of 2 measurements obtained at approximately 2-minute intervals after the individual has been sitting for 5 minutes. 5. Kidney, other solid organs, or bone marrow transplantation prior to or expected to occur during the study. 6. History of splenectomy. Participants with IgAN only 7. Secondary forms of IgAN 8. Received systemic corticosteroid therapy, oral budenoside, or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 12 weeks before Day 1. Participants with LN only 9. Lymphocyte count below 0.5 × 109/L at screening. 10. Received any of Cyclophosphamide, Calcineurin inhibitors, IV methylprednisolone, IV immunoglobulin therapy, Belimumab, Obinutuzumab and Rituximab treatments at protocol specified time points. Participants with C3G only 11. Evidence of monoclonal gammopathy of unclear significance, infections, malignancy, autoimmune diseases, or other conditions to which C3G is secondary. 12. Received systemic corticosteroid therapy, eculizumab, iptacopan, pegcetacoplan, or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy ≤12 weeks before Day 1, except for MMF (or mycophenolic acid), which is permitted.
