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.

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. * Body weight within 50 kg for male/ 45 kg for female to 110 kg and BMI within the range 18 - 32 kg/m2 (inclusive). * 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. * CBP participants should agree not to donate oocytes or freeze for future use for the purposes of assisted reproduction during the study and for a period of 90 days after the last dose of the IMP.
