Zigakibart is an investigational, humanized monoclonal antibody that blocks A PRoliferation-Inducing Ligand (APRIL), a cytokine contributing to pathogenic galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) production, the initiating event in IgA nephropathy (IgAN). ADU-CL-19 is an ongoing Phase I/II trial (NCT03945318) evaluating the safety and efficacy of zigakibart in patients (pts) with IgAN. We aimed to evaluate changes in long-term kidney function in subgroups defined by baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine protein–creatinine ratio (UPCR).

Part 3 of the study enrolled pts aged ≥18 years with biopsy-proven IgAN, urine protein ≥0.5 g/24h or 24-hour UPCR (24h-UPCR) ≥0.5 g/g, (eGFR) ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m, and on stable/optimized dose of renin–angiotensin system inhibitor (RASi) for ≥3 months before screening (or RASi intolerant). Pts received zigakibart 450 mg every 2 weeks (Q2W) intravenously (IV), transitioning to 600 mg Q2W subcutaneously (SC) at ≥24 weeks (wks; Cohort 1, n=10) or 600 mg Q2W SC (Cohort 2, n=30). Both cohorts are being treated for up to 124 wks. Here, we assessed the mean (± standard error [SE]) change in eGFR from baseline through Wk 100 in pts stratified by baseline eGFR (<60 and ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m) and UPCR (<1 and ≥1 g/g).

This subgroup analyses included 35 pts from the biomarker analysis set with data available up to Wk 100. At baseline, 14/35 (40.0%) pts had an eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m and 21/35 (60.0%) had an eGFR ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m. At baseline, 27/35 (77.1%) pts had a UPCR <1 g/g, and 8/35 (22.9%) had a UPCR ≥1 g/g. In pts stratified by baseline eGFR, both subgroups had stable eGFR through 100 wks of zigakibart treatment (Figure A). A similar trend was observed in pts stratified by baseline UPCR through Wk 100 (Figure B).

Sustained eGFR stabilization was observed over 100 wks of zigakibart treatment, demonstrating efficacy irrespective of disease severity. This abstract was also submitted for presentation at the American Society of Nephrology 2025 congress and re-submitting the abstract has been permitted by the congress.
