A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel-group study to assess the efficacy and safety of Iptacopan (LNP023) in C3 glomerulopathy
Résumé de l'étude
The purpose of this Phase III study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Iptacopan compared to placebo (and standard of care) in patients with C3 glomerulopathy. C3 glomerulopathy is a very rare, severe disease caused by excessive activation of the alternative complement signaling pathway (alternative pathway, AP). The AP is an important system in the body that provides protection against infections. However, an overactive AP can contribute to various kidney diseases, including C3 glomerulopathy (C3G). Iptacopan blocks key steps in the AP and may thereby improve C3 glomerulopathy. The study aims to demonstrate an improvement in kidney function, as evidenced by a reduction in proteinuria and an improvement in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in participants treated with Iptacopan compared to placebo. Kidney biopsies will be performed to assess histopathological reductions in glomerular inflammation and complement factor C3 deposition, and improvement in fatigue will be assessed. It is believed that dysregulation of the alternative complement signaling pathway (AP) underlies the clinical manifestations and progression of C3G. Serum C3 and other biomarkers of the complement signaling pathway will be investigated to show that Iptacopan reduces AP activity and targets the underlying cause of the disease.

Intervention étudiée
Approximately 68 participants will take part in the study. Half of the participants (n=34) will receive Iptacopan 200 mg twice daily as blinded treatment for 6 months, followed by 6 months of unblinded Iptacopan 200 mg twice daily. The other half of the participants (n=34) will receive placebo as blinded treatment for 6 months, followed by 6 months of unblinded Iptacopan 200 mg twice daily. After completion of the study treatment after 12 months, participants will have the option to discontinue treatment with Iptacopan and switch to a safety follow-up section or continue open-label treatment with Iptacopan by transitioning to an extension study.

Maladie en cours d'investigation
Kidney disease: C3 glomerulopathy (C3G)
(BASEC)
• Male and female participants aged ≥ 12 and ≤ 60 years at screening. • Diagnosis of C3G, confirmed by kidney biopsy within 12 months prior to enrollment (a biopsy report, review, and confirmation by the investigator are required). If such a biopsy is not available, confirmation may be obtained using tissue from the biopsy on day -45 for local assessment. • Prior to randomization, all participants must have received for at least 90 days a maximum recommended or tolerable dose of an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). Doses of other antiproteinuric medications, including mycophenolic acids, corticosteroids, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, should be stable for at least 90 days prior to randomization. • Reduced serum C3 (defined as less than 0.85 x lower limit of normal range of central laboratory, i.e. < 77 mg/dl) at screening. (BASEC)
Critères d'exclusion
• Participants who have received a cell or organ transplant, including kidney transplant. • Rapidly progressive crescentic glomerulonephritis (defined as a decline in eGFR of 50 % within 3 months) with findings from kidney biopsy of glomerular crescent formation observed in at least 50 % of glomeruli. • Kidney biopsy with interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy of more than 50 %.

in adults and within 3 years in adolescents.
