What is this trial about?

A plain-language summary of the goals, design and what participants do

The study focuses on adults with Antibody-mediated Kidney Disease, a condition where the immune system creates antibodies that damage the kidneys, leading to excess protein in the urine (called proteinuria). The investigational medicine being tested is called surovatamig, a type of monoclonal antibody designed to target specific immune cells (identified as CD3 and CD19). The drug is given as a subcutaneous injection (under the skin) in a liquid form.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and how the body handles the drug (pharmacokinetics) as well as its effect on reducing protein loss in urine. Researchers will monitor side effects, vital signs, and laboratory tests, and will also measure changes in the urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) and kidney function using the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).

Participants will receive the study medication by injection at regular intervals over several months, with clinic visits for assessments and urine or blood collection to check protein levels, antibody levels such as anti-PLA2R antibody, and the number of immune cells called B-cell. The study continues for up to two years, allowing researchers to see both short‑term and longer‑term effects of the treatment.

The research process

The trial runs in 8 steps – from screening to follow-up. Each step says what happens and what the team monitors.

  1. Step 1

    Confirmation of enrollment and first study visit

    After agreeing to join the study, a study coordinator confirms enrollment and schedules the first study visit.

    During this visit, personal information is verified and the study schedule is explained.

  2. Step 2

    Baseline safety and health assessments

    A series of baseline measurements are taken to document health status before receiving any study medication.

    Measurements include vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, temperature), a physical examination, routine laboratory tests, and a 12‑lead electrocardiogram (ECG).

    A 24‑hour urine collection is performed to measure proteinuria (the amount of protein in the urine).

    Blood samples are drawn to assess kidney function, the level of anti‑PLA2R antibodies, and the count of B‑cells in peripheral blood.

  3. Step 3

    First administration of surovatamig

    The study medication, surovatamig, is given as a subcutaneous injection (injection under the skin).

    The exact dose and frequency follow the study protocol and are administered by trained study staff.

  4. Step 4

    Ongoing medication administration

    Subsequent doses of surovatamig are provided according to the schedule defined in the study protocol.

    Each dose is delivered by subcutaneous injection at the clinic or a designated study location.

  5. Step 5

    Regular safety monitoring visits

    The participant attends scheduled clinic visits throughout the study period.

    At each visit, vital signs are recorded, a brief physical examination is performed, and routine laboratory tests are collected.

    An ECG may be repeated as needed to monitor heart health.

    The participant is asked to report any adverse events (side effects) that have occurred since the previous visit.

  6. Step 6

    Proteinuria assessment at 6 months

    At the six‑month mark, a second 24‑hour urine collection is performed to evaluate changes in proteinuria.

    The result is compared with the baseline measurement to determine the effect of the medication.

  7. Step 7

    Comprehensive assessments at 24 months

    At the end of the 24‑month study period, a final set of evaluations is conducted.

    These include a repeat 24‑hour urine collection for proteinuria, blood tests for anti‑PLA2R antibody titer, B‑cell count, and kidney function (estimated glomerular filtration rate, eGFR).

    The participant also completes a patient‑reported outcome questionnaire to capture any changes in health status.

  8. Step 8

    Study completion and medication discontinuation

    After the final assessments, the study medication is discontinued.

    The participant receives a summary of study findings and any necessary follow‑up instructions.

Investigated drugs

  • AZD0486

    is an investigational human IgG4 kappa monoclonal antibody that is designed to bind to two proteins on immune cells called CD3 and CD19. By attaching to these proteins, the antibody may modify the activity of certain immune cells that are involved in causing kidney damage. In the study, it is given as a subcutaneous injection (under the skin) in a liquid solution. The purpose of including this antibody in the trial is to see whether it can safely reduce harmful immune responses that lead to antibody‑mediated kidney disease.

  • surovatamig

    is a new experimental drug being tested for its ability to treat antibody‑mediated kidney disease. It is administered by injection under the skin as a liquid solution. The trial is looking at whether surovatamig is safe for patients, how well they can tolerate it, and whether it can lower the amount of protein that leaks into the urine (proteinuria), which is a sign of kidney injury. The overall goal is to determine if surovatamig can improve kidney health in adults with this condition.

What is already known about the treatment

  • AZD0486 (human IgG4 kappa monoclonal antibody against CD3 and CD19)

    This drug is given as a subcutaneous injection in a liquid form. It is still experimental and is being studied in early clinical trials, not yet approved for routine use. It is being explored for treating antibody‑mediated kidney disease by attaching to CD3 and CD19 proteins on immune cells, which helps lower harmful antibodies. It belongs to the class of monoclonal antibodies that modify the immune system.

  • Surovatamig

    Surovatamig is administered by subcutaneous injection as a solution for injection. It is an investigational medicine currently in Phase 2 trials and is not yet available on the market. The drug aims to treat antibody‑mediated kidney disease by interfering with immune pathways that cause kidney damage, leading to reduced protein loss in urine. It is classified as a biologic immunosuppressive agent.

Investigated diseases

Antibody-mediated kidney disease - Antibody-mediated kidney disease is a condition in which the immune system produces antibodies that target structures in the kidneys. These antibodies can cause inflammation and damage to the filtering units called glomeruli. Over time, the damage may lead to increasing amounts of protein leaking into the urine. The disease often develops gradually, with protein levels rising before other signs appear. As the condition continues, kidney function may become less stable, reflected by changes in blood tests. Monitoring of urine protein and kidney function helps to track its course.
