A Study of SGB-9768 in Patients with Complement-mediated Kidney Diseases

This is a phase 2, multicenter, open-label study to evaluate of the efficacy and safety of SGB-9768 in patients with primary IgA nephropathy, C3 glomerulopathy, and immune complex-mediated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. The primary objective is to evaluate efficacy of SGB-9768 in reducing urine protein excretion and maintain kidney function in these patients. Secondly, safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics will be charaterized.
