Description

Background: Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is a progressive immune-mediated kidney disease with a high lifetime risk of kidney failure. Blocking A proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL), a key driver of pathogenic IgA production, is potentially disease modifying in IgAN by reducing galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) and proteinuria, ultimately stabilizing kidney function. JADE101 is a novel APRIL-neutralizing monoclonal antibody (mAb) designed with ultra-high affinity and extended half-life with the goal of delivering a convenient, infrequent subcutaneous dosing profile. This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study is designed to characterize the efficacy and safety of JADE101 in participants with biopsy-confirmed primary IgAN.

Methods: This Phase 3 study will enroll approximately 420 participants with IgAN from approximately 30 countries. Up to an additional 60 participants may be enrolled in two exploratory cohorts (UPCR ≥0.5 to <0.75 g/g and eGFR ≥20 to <30 mL/min/1.73 m2 at screening), for a total of approximately 480 participants.
Eligibility: Adults aged ≥18 years with biopsy-confirmed primary IgAN, UPCR ≥0.75 g/g or urine protein excretion ≥ 1 g/day (24-hour urine collection), and eGFR ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m2 on optimized and stable supportive care.
Design: Eligible participants will be randomized 2:1 to receive JADE101 or placebo. Randomized participants will receive a 700mg loading dose of JADE101 or placebo on Day 1 followed by 350mg maintenance doses starting at Week 4 and subsequently either every 8 weeks or every 12 weeks for a total treatment duration of 52 weeks. All participants will then receive open-label JADE101 for another 48 weeks. Total treatment period is approximately 2 years.
Primary Endpoint: Change from baseline in UPCR (measured from 24-hour urine collection) at Month 12
Secondary Endpoint: Change from baseline in eGFR at Month 12
Exploratory Endpoints: Percentage of participants with hematuria resolution over time, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamic biomarker changes (free APRIL, serum immunoglobulins, including, Gd-IgA1), immunogenicity and patient reported outcomes.

Status: The study is expected to start in Q4 2026.
