New drug aims to slow kidney damage in rare disease
NCT ID NCT07157787
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests an experimental drug called ALXN1920 in 30 adults with primary membranous nephropathy, a rare kidney disease that can lead to kidney failure. Participants are at high risk for their disease getting worse. The study compares the drug to a placebo to see if it reduces protein in the urine, a sign of kidney damage, over 26 weeks. All participants continue their standard care.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Participants who have a documented diagnosis of PMN, established by positive antiPLA2R antibody level (\> 20 RU/mL) at Screening, which must be confirmed by a central laboratory * Participants are willing to receive the background Standard of Care (SoC) * Participants at high risk for disease progression, defined as: 1. Receiving ACE inhibitor or ARB for a minimum of 8 weeks prior to Screening, with the dose titrated to the maximally tolerated level. Participants with less than 8 weeks on ACE inhibitor or ARB before Screening or who have not yet reached maximally tolerated dose will enter the Run-in Period. 2. Participants who are on ACE inhibitor or ARB for a minimum of 8 weeks with Systolic Blood Pressure \< 140 mmHg in ≥ 75% of the readings within last 8 weeks. 3. Having two proteinuria measurements with each \> 3.5 g/day, the second measurement showing ≤50% decrease from the first measurement. * eGFR60 mL/min/1.73 m2 during Screening calculated by CKD-EPI 2021 creatinine formula * All participants must receive prophylactic treatment with appropriate antibiotics while receiving Rituximab (RTX), and be willing to be vaccinated against Neisseria meningitidis Exclusion Criteria: * Documented rapid deterioration of kidney function * History of life-threatening Nephrotic Syndrome within 1 year before Screening * Diagnosis of anti- phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) negative membranous nephropathy (MN) or anti-PLA2R positive MN but Screening serum anti-PLA2R \< 20 RU/mL or kidney disease other than PMN * History of kidney transplant or planned kidney transplant or dialysis during the Treatment Period * History of other solid organ (heart, lung, small bowel, pancreas, or liver) or bone marrow transplant; or planned transplant during the Treatment Period * History or presence of any clinically relevant co-morbidities * History of intolerance or hypersensitivity to ACEi or ARB * Initiation or dose adjustment of SGLT2i within 12 weeks prior to randomization or planned adjustment of GSLT2i dose throughout the treatment period. * Use of traditional Chinese medicines or Chinese proprietary medicines with systemic immunosuppressive properties within 6 months prior to screening. * Use of MRA, or ERA within 12 weeks prior to randomization and throughout the study period Note: Additional inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply, per protocol.
