How is Ravulizumab being studied in Lupus nephritis?
The efficacy and safety of Ravulizumab in adult participants with Proliferative Lupus Nephritis (LN) or Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN) is being studied in this phase 2, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study. The primary outcome is the percentage change in proteinuria from baseline to week 26 in both cohorts. Eligible participants will receive Ravulizumab IV infusion in combination with background therapy during both the Initial Evaluation Period (26 weeks) and Extension Period (24 weeks) vs placebo. During the Follow-up Period (36 weeks) participants will receive background therapy according to the standard of care.
