Study for Desensitization of Chronic Kidney Disease in Adult Patients in Need of a Kidney Transplant Who Are Highly Sensitized to Human Leukocyte Antigen
About the study
The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of REGN5459 (Part A) or REGN5458 (Part B) as monotherapy in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who need kidney transplantation and are highly sensitized to human leukocyte antigen (HLA).
The secondary objectives of the study are to determine/assess the following for REGN5459 (Part A) or REGN5458 (Part B):
Dose regimen(s) that result in a clinically meaningful reduction of anti-HLA alloantibody levels
Effect on calculated panel-reactive antibody (cPRA) levels
Time to maximal and clinically meaningful reduction in anti-HLA alloantibody levels
Duration of the effect of study drug on the reduction of anti-HLA alloantibodies
Effect on circulating immunoglobulin (Ig) classes (isotypes)
Pharmacokinetics (PK) properties
Immunogenicity
