New drug aims to stop kidney transplant rejection
NCT ID NCT05156710
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests a drug called BIVV020 in 48 kidney transplant recipients. The goal is to see if it can prevent or treat antibody-mediated rejection, a common cause of transplant failure. Participants receive BIVV020 plus standard care, and researchers monitor rejection rates and kidney function.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- BIVV020 (a drug given by injection to target the immune system)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new option to prevent or treat kidney transplant rejection, helping more people keep their transplanted kidney longer.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with only 48 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not work better than current treatments, and side effects are still being studied.

Inclusion Criteria: -Participant intended to receive SOC therapy per Investigator's judgment and local practice. Cohort A: Participants with chronic kidney disease who will receive a kidney transplant from a living or deceased donor. Cohort B: Participants who are kidney transplant recipients diagnosed with active AMR. * BMI ≤ 40 kg/m2. * Contraceptive use by women during the treatment period, and for at least 49 weeks after the last administration of IMP (BIVV020 + SOC arm participant) or last treatment period visit (SOC arm participant). * Contraceptive use by men during the treatment period, and for at least 49 weeks after the last administration of IMP (BIVV020 + SOC arm participant) or last treatment period visit (SOC arm participant). Exclusion Criteria: * Participants who are ABO incompatible with their donors. * Participants with known active ongoing infection as per below: 1. Positive HIV. 2. Positive HBV. 3. HCV with detectable HCV RNA. 4. Within 4 weeks of first study intervention: any serious infection, or any active bacterial infection, or any other infection which is clinically significant in the option of the Investigator, unless it can be confirmed that infection was cleared at least 3 days prior to first study intervention. * History of active tuberculosis (TB) regardless of treatment. * Participants with clinical diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). * Prior treatment with complement system inhibitor within 5 times the half-life. * Current enrollment in any other clinical study where the last investigational study treatment administration was within 5 half-lives from study intervention initiation.
