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

A Phase 2, Multicenter, Open-label Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of SGB-9768 in Patients with Primary IgA Nephropathy, C3 Glomerulopathy, and Immune Complex-mediated Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis.

This study looks at how well and safely SGB-9768 works for patients with certain kidney diseases: primary IgA nephropathy, C3 glomerulopathy, and immune complex-related membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. It's a phase 2 trial done at several locations where both patients and doctors know what treatment is being given.

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.
