Inclusion criteria

. Patient is aged at least 12 years or older weighing at least 30 kg.
. A biopsy has confirmed diagnosis of primary C3G or IC-MPGN or patient has a biopsy-proven histologic recurrence in posttransplant.
. There is evidence of active renal disease, based on at least 1 g/day of proteinuria from 24-hour urine collection or uPCR ≥1 g/g from random urine in native kidney. There is no minimum level of proteinuria for post-transplant recurrence.
. Patient has a limited response to treatment regimens for C3G/IC-MPGN, and may include:
. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, angiotensin receptor blocker, and/or sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor therapy
. Other medications that can affect proteinuria (eg, steroids, mycophenolate mofetil, and/or other immunosuppressants that the patient is receiving for treatment of C3G or IC-MPGN)
. Patient has received vaccinations against S pneumoniae, N meningitidis (types A, C, W, Y, and B), and H influenzae (type B) as per the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendations for adults or children with complement deficiencies. Vaccination series should be initiated at least 14 days prior to enrollment. If patient disease is severe and requires immediate treatment, administer required vaccine as soon as possible and provide patients with 2 weeks of prophylactic antibiotics.
. Female patients of childbearing potential, defined as any women who have experienced menarche and who are not permanently sterile or postmenopausal, must have negative blood pregnancy tests at screening (and negative urine pregnancy tests on day 1) and must agree to use protocol-defined methods of contraception from screening through at least 90 days after receiving the last dose of pegcetacoplan.

Exclusion criteria

. C3G/IC-MPGN is secondary to another condition (eg, infection, malignancy, monoclonal gammopathy, a systemic autoimmune disease such as systemic lupus erythematosus, chronic antibody-mediated rejection, or a medication), in the opinion of the treating physician.
. Patient has current or prior diagnosis of HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C infection or positive serology during screening that is indicative of infection with any of these viruses.
. Patient's body weight is greater than 100 kg at screening.
. Patient has hypersensitivity to pegcetacoplan or to any of the excipients.
. Patient has history of meningococcal disease.
. Patient has a severe infection (eg, requiring IV antibiotic therapy) within 14 days prior to the first dose of pegcetacoplan.
. Patient has an absolute neutrophil count less than 1000 cells/mm3 at screening.
. Patient has other significant renal disease.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
