Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1.Male or female of over 20 years of age 2.Renal biopsy report documenting IgAN 3.UPCR > 0.75 mg/mg by 24-hour urine collection during the Screening Period with at least one documented historical UPCR > 1 mg/mg within 12 months prior to the Screening visit while on 4.ACEi and/or ARB therapy, or UPCR > 1 mg/mg by 24-hour urine collection during the Screening Period 4.Initiation of ACEi and/or ARB at least 12 weeks prior to the Screening Visit. The dose of ACEi and/or ARB must be stable for at least 8 weeks prior to the Screening Visit

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.Concomitant significant renal disease other than IgAN (eg, diabetic nephropathy, lupus nephritis, minimal change disease) 2.On kidney biopsy, more than 50percent glomeruli with global glomerulosclerosis, or more than 50percent of cortical area involved by tubular atrophy or interstitial fibrosis 3.Diagnosis of Henoch-Schonlein purpura 4.Renal or other organ transplantation prior to, or expected during, the study

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
safety efficacy Evaluate the safety and tolerability profiles of atacicept in subjects with IgA Nephropathy (IgAN) and persistent proteinuria (ie, urine protein to creatinine ratio [UPCR] or more 1 mg/mg) through Week 48, while on a stable dose of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) and/ or angiotensin receptor Blockers (ARB), considered optimal by the Investigator.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
safety efficacy Evaluate the pharmacodynamic (PD) effect of atacicept Evaluate the serum atacicept concentrations (pharmacokinetic [PK]) Evaluate the safety and tolerability profiles of atacicept Evaluate the immunogenicity profile of atacicept

Countries
