AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Male and female patients including adults (aged at least 18 years to ≤ 60 years) and adolescents (12 -17 years in non-EU countries at screening and 16-17 years in EU countries at screening).
* Diagnosis of idiopathic IC-MPGN as confirmed by kidney biopsy within 12 months prior to screening in adults and within 3 years of screening in adolescents (a biopsy report, review and confirmation by the Investigator is required). If such a biopsy is not available in an adult participant, this must be obtained at screening (performed and assessed locally for adults only).
* Prior to randomization, all participants must have been on a maximally recommended or tolerated dose of renin angiotensin system inhibitors (RASi), e.g an ACEi or ARB for at least 90 days (or as according to local guidelines). The doses of other drugs administered to reduce proteinuria and control the disease including mycophenolic acids (MPAs - mycophenolate mofetil or mycophenolate sodium), corticosteroids, SGLT2 inhibitors and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists should be stable for at least 90 days prior to randomization
* UPCR ≥ 1.0 g/g (≥ 113 mg/mmol) sampled from the first morning void urine sample at Day -75 and Day -15
* Estimated GFR (using the chronic kidney disease \[CKD\]-EPI formula for adult participants and modified Schwartz formula for adolescents aged 12 to 17 years) or measured GFR ≥ 30 ml/min/1.73m2 at screening and Day -15.
* Mandatory vaccination against Neisseria menin…
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?

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.

1
Log-transformed ratio to baseline in UPCR (sampled from a 24-hour urine collection) at 6 months.
Timeframe: 6 months (double-blind)
2
Log-transformed ratio to baseline in UPCR at the 18-month visit (each study treatment arm)
Timeframe: 18 months
3
Log-transformed ratio to 12-month visit in UPCR at the 18-month visit in the placebo arm.
