ADX-038 with or without telitacicept for Chinese adults with IgA nephropathy, C3G, or IC-MPGN

A Phase 2 Study to Assess ADX-038 in Chinese Adults With Complement-Mediated Kidney Disease

Phase 2 Interventional ADARx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. · NCT07522099

This Phase 2 trial will test whether ADX-038, given alone or with telitacicept, is safe and helps Chinese adults with biopsy-confirmed IgA nephropathy, complement 3 glomerulopathy, or immune complex MPGN.

What this trial studies

This Phase 2 interventional study enrolls Chinese adults with biopsy-confirmed IgA nephropathy (IgAN), complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G), or immune complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN) who have active kidney disease and eGFR ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m2. Participants will receive ADX-038 alone in Part A or ADX-038 combined with telitacicept in Part B at ADARx clinical sites in China. The trial will collect safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic data and monitor kidney function and disease activity over the dosing period. Key exclusions include prior complement inhibitors, prior major organ transplant, prolonged renal replacement therapy, rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, active systemic infection, and abnormal liver function.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults in China with biopsy-confirmed IgAN, C3G, or IC-MPGN, active disease, eGFR ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m2, and receiving standard supportive care (including ACE inhibitor or ARB if applicable) are the intended participants.

Not a fit: Patients with prior major organ transplant, prolonged dialysis, rapidly progressive disease, active systemic infections, abnormal liver function, or prior use of C5/CFB inhibitors are excluded and unlikely to benefit from this protocol.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the regimen could reduce disease activity and slow progression of complement-mediated kidney damage in affected patients.

How similar studies have performed: Other therapies targeting the complement system have shown benefit in some complement-mediated kidney diseases, but combining complement-targeting agents with B-cell/BAFF-APRIL blockade like telitacicept is a relatively novel approach.
