A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of IONIS-FB-LRx, an Antisense Inhibitor of Complement Factor B, in Adult Participants With Primary IgA Nephropathy

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of IONIS-FB-LRx, an antisense inhibitor of complement factor B messenger ribonucleic acid (CFB mRNA), and to evaluate the effect of IONIS-FB-LRx on plasma factor B (FB) levels and serum AH50, CH50 activity in participants with primary immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy.

About this study

This is a Phase 2, single arm open-label clinical study in up to 25 participants that will consist of a screening period, a 24-week treatment period, an optional treatment extension period of up to an additional 48 weeks, and a 12- week post-treatment follow-up evaluation period.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

  • History of renal transplant or another organ transplant
  • Treatment with another investigational drug, biological agent, or device within 6 months of screening, or 5 half-lives of investigational agent, whichever is longer
  • Administration of immunosuppressive/immunomodulatory medication 12 months prior to study drug administration, except for short-term treatments.
  • Other protocol-specified inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply

Treatment and study plan
