Official title: A Phase 1 First-in-Human Clinical Trial in Healthy Participants and Patients With C3-Glomerulopathy to Assess Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of CPV-104

Run by eleva GmbH · NCT07483827 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial tests whether CPV-104 is safe, how the body processes it, and whether the immune system reacts to it in healthy adults and adults with C3 glomerulopathy.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults with a confirmed diagnosis of C3 glomerulopathy who meet the study's safety criteria, and healthy adults aged 18–50 who meet the required weight, BMI, and screening laboratory criteria.

Probably not a fit

Patients with advanced or unstable kidney failure, children, pregnant people, or those who do not meet the trial's inclusion/exclusion criteria are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies

This first-in-human, phase 1 trial has two parts: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled single-ascending-dose (SAD) phase in healthy volunteers and an open-label multiple-ascending-dose (MAD) phase in adults with C3 glomerulopathy (C3G). Healthy volunteers receive a single IV dose of CPV-104 or placebo in successive cohorts, while patients with C3G receive four weekly IV doses without placebo. The trial focuses on safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity, with close monitoring including blood and urine tests, ECGs, vitals, and antibody testing; kidney function is also followed in C3G patients. A Safety Review Committee reviews blinded and unblinded safety data between cohorts to guide dose escalation and participant safety.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, CPV-104 could offer a new way to control complement overactivity and potentially stabilize or slow kidney damage in people with C3 glomerulopathy.

How similar studies have gone: Other complement-targeting therapies have shown promise in related complement-mediated kidney diseases, but treatment of C3G remains experimental and results have been mixed so far.

* Participants must be at least 18 years old and no more than 50 years old, at the time of consent, and must be able to sign and date the informed consent form (ICF) themselves.
* Participants who are overtly healthy as determined by medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and cardiac monitoring. A participant with a clinical abnormality or laboratory parameter(s) not specifically listed in the exclusion criteria that is outside the reference range for the population being studied may be included only if the investigator, in consultation with the Medical Monitor, agree and document that the finding is unlikely to introduce additional risk factors and will not interfere with the study procedures or results.

* Childbearing potential (CBP) participants should agree to use a highly effective method of contraception throughout the study and for 90 days after the last dose of the IMP.
