Effects of Felzartamab on Adults with Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy

Key Inclusion Criteria:

* Biopsy-confirmed diagnosis of IgAN within the past 10 years prior to signature of the informed consent form (ICF). For participants with diabetes mellitus type 2, an IgAN diagnostic biopsy within the past 24 months prior to signing the ICF.
* An eGFR ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 at Screening as calculated using the 2021 chronic kidney disease epidemiology (CKD-EPI) creatinine formula. An eGFR of ≥ 20 and \< 30 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 is acceptable for the cohorts 3 and 4.
* Proteinuria of ≥ 1.0 gram per day (g/day) or UPCR ≥0.8 gram per gram (g/g) as assessed by an adequate 24-hour urine collection.
* Clinically stable on a maximally tolerated dose or maximally approved dose of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) for at least 12 weeks prior to Screening. Participants may also be using sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is); endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs) or dual endothelin angiotensin receptor antagonist (DEARAs) approved for the treatment of IgAN; and/or mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) as long as the dose is stable for at least 12 weeks prior to Screening. Participants should remain on stable doses of these background medications for the duration of the study. Once the ICF is signed and thereafter, the doses cannot be changed during the study nor the drugs discontinued except if deemed related to an AE. Participants using a DEARA (e.g., sparsentan) will not be permitted to use simultaneous ACEI or ARB medication.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

* Any history of secondary forms of IgAN, indicated by the presence of any other systemic disease potentially leading to IgA deposits as determined by the Investigator.
* History of rapidly progressive variant of IgAN, defined as eGFR loss by \> 50% per 3 months and not explained by changes in renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockade or other factors.
* IgAN-(MCD) variant.
* Concomitant other progressive glomerulonephritis or non-immunologic glomerular disease such as diabetic nephropathy.
* Type 2 diabetes mellitus with Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) \> 8% at Screening, or evidence of diabetic nephropathy on biopsy, history of diabetic microvascular or macrovascular disease (eg, diabetic retinopathy, peripheral neuropathy).
* Any diagnosed or suspected immunosuppressed or immunodeficient state such as asplenia, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), primary immunodeficiencies, organ or bone marrow transplantation, with the exception of corneal transplants.
* Previously treated with immunosuppressive or other immunomodulatory agents such as but not limited to cyclophosphamide, rituximab, infliximab, eculizumab, canakinumab, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) or mycophenolate sodium (MPS), cyclosporine, tacrolimus, sirolimus, everolimus, or systemic glucocorticoid exposure (\> 7.5 milligrams per day \[mg/d\] prednisone-equivalent for indications other than IgAN or any dose if given for the treatment of IgAN) within 4 months prior to Screening. Use of hydroxychloroquine in Mainland China is allowed if the candidate has been on this for at least 6 months prior to Screening with a stable dose for at least 12 weeks prior to Screening. If a potential participant requires systemic glucocorticoids at any dose for IgAN during Screening, this will result in a screen fail. If a potential participant requires systemic glucocorticoids \> 7.5 mg/day prednisone-equivalent for indications other than IgAN during Screening, this will result in a screen fail.
* Participants currently treated with oral budesonide. Participants who have stopped this therapy ≥ 4 months prior to Screening may be eligible.
* Active clinically significant infections, known history of recurrent clinically significant infection, or Screening laboratory evidence consistent with an active infection, or non-prophylactic treatment with IV anti-infectives (antibacterials, antiviral or antifungals). Participants with a history of opportunistic infections are excluded.
* Hypogammaglobulinemia: serum Immunoglobin G (IgG) \< 6.0 gram per litre (g/L), at Screening.
