Prior treatment

  • Use of systemic immunosuppressant medications, such as steroids, for more than 2 weeks in the past 3 months.

  • Have received any investigational agent or approved treatment for IgAN (other than a RAS inhibitor) including SGLT2i (except for subjects in the SGLT2i stable stratum) within 1 month (or 5 half-lives of the agent, whichever is longer) prior to Screening. If the investigational agent is a cytotoxic or immunosuppressive agent then this washout period is 6 months.

Other illness

  • Current diagnosis with another chronic kidney disease, including diabetic kidney disease.
  • History of kidney transplantation or other organ transplantation.
  • Clinically significant history of liver disease as assessed by the Investigator.
  • Malignancy within the past 5 years. Exceptions to this criteria include nonmelanoma skin cancer and curatively treated cervical carcinoma in situ.

Lab values

  • Hemoglobin below 9 g/dL as measured by the Investigator or prior history of blood transfusion for anemia within the past 3 months.

Other

  • Blood pressure above 150 mmHg systolic or 95 mmHg diastolic as evaluated by the Investigator.
  • For women, pregnancy, breast feeding, or intent to become pregnant during the study. and at least 1 month afterward.

  • Receiving a maximally tolerated and stable dose of a RASi for at least 12 weeks prior to screening. Investigator discretion should be used in determining maximally tolerated and optimized dose.
  • eGFR of at least 30 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 at screening based on the 2021 CKD-EPI equation.
