E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
• The primary safety objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CCX140-B in subjects with FSGS with proteinuria. • The primary efficacy objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of CCX140-B treatment on urinary protein excretion in subjects with FSGS, as assessed by change from baseline in the urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPCR). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To evaluate the effect of CCX140-B on renal function, as assessed by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at Week 12 and 24; • To evaluate the effect of CCX140-B treatment on fraction of subjects achieving complete and partial renal remission (by 2 different partial remission definitions) • To evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of CCX140-B in subjects with FSGS. |

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Male or female subjects aged 18-75 years inclusive 2. Urinary total protein:creatinine ratio (UPCR) ≥ 1 g protein/g creatinine at screening (or UPCR at 113 mg/mmol). 3. Diagnosis of FSGS based on at least one of the following: o Renal biopsy demonstrating the FSGS lesion and characteristic clinical presentation and course o High risk genetic variant and characteristic clinical presentation and course 4. Diagnosis of one of the following subtypes of FSGS: o Primary FSGS based on characteristic histopathology, medical history, and clinical course, or o FSGS secondary to a genetic variant associated with increased risk or severity, which may include NPHS1, NPHS2, WT-1, LAMB2, CD2AP, TRPC6, ACTN4 or INF2 5. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) >30 mL/min/1.73m2, with eGFR calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation (using creatinine or cystatin C) 6. The typical blood pressure of the patient should be clinically stable prior to enrollment and not exceed 145/95 mmHg. 7. If using RAAS blockers, dose must be stable for a minimum of 4 weeks prior to Screening, and projected to remain stable through Study Week 12, unless adjustment is required for management of hypertension. Blood pressure should be clinically stable prior to enrollment. 8. If using immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory therapy, dose must be stable for a minimum of 4 weeks prior to Screening, and projected to remain stable through Study Week 12 9. If using glucocorticoids, dose must be stable for a minimum of 4 weeks prior to Screening and projected to remain stable through Study Week 12 10. Female subjects of childbearing potential may participate if adequate contraception is used during, and for at least 1 month after last dose of study drug. Male subjects with partners of childbearing potential may participate in the study if they had a vasectomy at least 6 months prior to randomization or if adequate contraception is used during, and for at least one month after the last dose of study drug. Adequate contraception is defined as resulting in a failure rate of less than 1% per year (combined estrogen and progestogen [oral, intravaginal, or transdermal], or progestogen-only hormonal contraception (oral, injectable, or implantable), intra-uterine device, intra-uterine hormone releasing system, bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomized partner, or sexual abstinence). In addition, a barrier method (i.e. cervical cap, diaphragm or condom) must be used during intercourse between a male subject and a female of child-bearing potential. 11. Willing and able to give written Informed Consent and to comply with the requirements of the study protocol 12. Judged to be otherwise fit for the study by the Investigator, based on medical history, physical examination, and clinical laboratory assessments. Subjects with clinical laboratory values that are outside of normal limits (other than those specified in the Exclusion Criteria) and/or with other abnormal clinical findings that are judged by the Investigator not to be of clinical significance, may be entered into the study. |

Currently on an organ transplant waiting list or there’s a reasonable possibility of getting an organ transplant within 6 months of screening 4. Subjects who used of rituximab or other B-cell depleting monoclonal antibodies within 20 weeks prior to screening are excluded while subjects that used rituximab or other B-cell depleting monoclonal antibodies prior to 20 week of screening are allowed with confirmed recovery of the B-cell population to within normal range at the time of screening 5.

Positive HBV, HCV, or HIV viral screening test. Subjects who have received highly effective therapy for HCV demonstrated to have negative viral titers for at least 6 months following discontinuation of treatment, will be considered to have a negative HCV screening test 11.

Evidence of hepatic disease; AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase >3x ULN, or total bilirubin > 2x ULN or INR > 1.5 x ULN at screening with the exception that isolated INR elevation in the absence of other significant liver enzyme abnormalities is explained by anticoagulant therapy, (e.g. warfarin). 15. Clinically significant peripheral neuropathy. 16. Hematologic abnormalities as follows: Hb < 8 g/dL, platelets < 50,000, ANC < 1000 cells/μL) at baseline 17.
