Atrasentan in Patients With IgA Nephropathy

Prior treatment

• Concurrent diagnosis of another cause of chronic kidney disease including diabetic kidney disease or another primary glomerulopathy.
• Use of systemic immunosuppressant medications.
• Participants who are not receiving atrasentan at the time of substudy screening visit in the ALIGN OL extension study phase or had atrasentan interruption for longer than 2 weeks within last 24 weeks of substudy screening visit.
• Plan to receive any investigational agent (other than atrasentan or zigakibart) or approved treatment for IgAN (other than a RAS inhibitor or SGLT2i). Other ETA receptor antagonists will not be allowed during substudy extension.
• Received a live vaccination within 12 weeks prior to first substudy treatment administration in the substudy or plan to have a live vaccination within 6 months after the last dose of substudy treatment.
• Use of systemic corticosteroid therapy (including budesonide) or other immunosuppressive therapy.
• Prior exposure to any therapy directed against APRIL.
• History of a previous severe allergic reaction with generalized urticaria, angioedema, or anaphylaxis.

Other illness

• Clinical diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome.
• History of organ transplantation (subjects with history of corneal transplant are not excluded).
• Known history of heart failure or conditions relating to fluid overload.
• Newly diagnosed or history of malignancy.
• History of an alcohol or illicit drug-related disorder within the past 3 years.
• Current severe infection at the time of first substudy treatment in the substudy or history of recurrent, severe, infections as determined by the Investigator.
• Newly diagnosed positive serology for hepatitis A virus IgM antibodies (anti-HAV IgM), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), detectable hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA, hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies (participants who completed treatment and are persistently antibody positive but have documentation of negative HCV polymerase chain reaction \[PCR\] will be allowed), or antibodies to HIV-1 and/or HIV-2.

  • Open-label period:
• eGFR \< 25 mL/min/1.73m\^2 or evidence of rapidly decreasing eGFR, including unrecovered acute kidney injury or expected to require renal replacement therapy within 3 months
• Platelet count \< 80,000 per μL at OL Screening.
• Hemoglobin below 9 g/dL at OL screening or prior history of blood transfusion for anemia within 3 months of OL Screening.
  • Substudy:

• eGFR \< 25 mL/min/1.73m2 or evidence of rapidly decreasing eGFR, including unrecovered acute kidney injury or expected to require renal replacement therapy within 3 months
• Known history of clinically significant liver disease or transaminase or bilirubin values more than twice the upper limit of normal at substudy screening.
• Type 1 diabetes; for type 2 diabetes, exclusion if HbA1c \>8%, evidence of diabetic changes on kidney biopsy performed for any reason, or history of diabetic microvascular/macrovascular disease
• Hemoglobin below 9 g/dL at substudy screening or prior history of blood transfusion for anemia within 3 months of substudy Screening.
• History or evidence of any other clinically significant medical disorder, condition, disease, or laboratory finding that, in the discretion of the Investigator, constitutes an uncertain or unfavorable benefit-risk for continued long-term therapy with zigakibart.

Other

• BNP value of \> 200 pg/mL at OL Screening.
• ALIGN OL extension participants with insufficient compliance defined as less than 70%
• Ongoing treatment-related SAE or ongoing related severe AESI.
• Clinical suspicion of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN).

• Screening weight \<45 kg or \>150 kg

• Double-Blind period:
• Biopsy-proven IgA nephropathy.
• Receiving a maximally tolerated dose of RAS inhibitor therapy (ACEi or ARB) that has been stable for at least 12 weeks. Exceptions from this requirement will be made for subjects who are unable to tolerate RAS inhibitor therapy.

• All fertile men and WOCBP who engage in heterosexual intercourse must be willing to abide with highly effective forms of contraception, as specified in the protocol, throughout the study and for 1 month afterward. In WOCBP, use of contraceptive agents must have been started at least 1 month prior to Baseline.
  • Open-Label Period:
• Willing and able to provide informed consent and comply with all OL extension study visits and study procedures.
• Completed treatment through Week 132 and completed the Week 136 visit.
• All fertile men and WOCBP who engage in heterosexual intercourse must be willing to abide with highly effective forms of contraception, as specified in the protocol, throughout the study and for 1 month afterward.
