A Phase 1/2 Multicenter, Open Label, Two-part Study (Single Ascending Dose [Part 1], and Dose Expansion [Part 2]) to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of PS-002, a Gene Therapy for the Treatment of Adult Participants With Primary IgA Nephropathy
The purpose of the study is to evaluate safety, tolerability, and preliminary effectiveness following administration of PS-002 in adults with primary Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy. This will be a first-in-human study and will include participants at high risk of disease progression despite receiving current standard-of-care treatment. Participants will be monitored for up to one year after receiving PS-002 and invited to take part in a long-term follow-up study (total follow-up: 5 years).
• Diagnosis of primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN) as evidenced by renal biopsy.
• A historic kidney biopsy performed within 36 months prior to screening with reported evidence of complement component 3 (C3) deposition. If the participant had a kidney biopsy performed over 36 months prior to Screening, a new kidney biopsy should be carried out during the Screening period. This biopsy must exhibit signs of ongoing complement system activity.
• Proteinuria as assessed at the Screening visit by UPCR at least 1g/g (at least 1000 mg/g) OR total protein excretion at least 1 g/24 h (at least 1000 mg/24h) sampled from 24 h urine collection.
• eGFR calculated using the CKD-EPI formula at least 45 mL/min/1.73m\^2.
• Sitting office systolic blood pressure equal to or less than 140 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure equal to or less than 90 mmHg.
• All participants must have been on best supportive care for IgAN, as per region-specific requirements defined in the protocol.
