What this trial studies

This is a Phase II, open‑label, multi‑site study of subcutaneous surovatamig given in ascending multiple doses with sentinel dosing to adults who are anti‑PLA2R positive and have persistent heavy proteinuria. The trial has two parts (Part A and Part B), each with screening, treatment, and follow‑up periods, and total participation may last up to 26 months. Key outcomes include safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and measures of efficacy such as changes in proteinuria and kidney function. Participants must generally be on standard ACE inhibitor or ARB therapy (unless contraindicated) before enrollment.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults aged 18–75 with anti‑PLA2R–positive primary membranous nephropathy who have heavy, persistent proteinuria and have been on ACE inhibitor or ARB therapy (unless intolerant) are the intended participants.

Not a fit: Patients who are anti‑PLA2R negative, have only low or transient proteinuria, already have end‑stage kidney disease, or have contraindications to the study drug are unlikely to benefit from participation.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, surovatamig could lower proteinuria and reduce the risk of progression to end‑stage kidney disease for people with anti‑PLA2R primary membranous nephropathy.

How similar studies have performed: Other treatments that target B cells or autoantibodies (for example, rituximab) have shown benefit in anti‑PLA2R membranous nephropathy, but surovatamig represents a novel therapeutic approach with limited prior clinical data.
