Brief Summary:
The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of atacicept compared to placebo on change in proteinuria in adult subjects with IGAN.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
IgA Nephropathy Berger Disease Biological: Atacicept Other: Placebo to match Atacicept Phase 2

Detailed Description:
The study will assess multiple doses of atacicept vs. placebo on impact of renal function as measured by proteinuria. Safety, eGFR, serum immunoglobulins and gd-IgA1 will also be clinically assessed. The clinical study is comprised of a 36wk double-blind treatment period, followed by a 60wk open-label treatment period and a 26wk safety follow-up period.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change from baseline in urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPCR) [ Time Frame: 24 Weeks ]
    UPCR based on 24 hour urine collection


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change from baseline in urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPCR) [ Time Frame: 36 Weeks ]
    UPCR based on 24 hour urine collection


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Change from baseline in urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPCR) [ Time Frame: 12, 48, 96 Weeks and Week 26 follow up ]
    UPCR based on 24 hour urine collection

  2. Change from baseline in estimated glomerular filtration rage (eGFR) [ Time Frame: 12, 24, 36, 48, 96 Weeks and 26 Week follow up ]
    eGFR calculated by CKD-EPI formula

  3. Change from baseline in IgA, IgG, IgM, C3, C4 and Gd-IgA1 levels [ Time Frame: 12, 24, 36, 48, 96 Weeks ]
    Serum measurement of IgA, IgG, IgM, C3, C4 and Gd-IgA1

  4. Number of participants with adverse events during the double-blind treatment period [ Time Frame: Through 36 Weeks ]
    Safety and tolerability

  5. Evaluate serum PK of atacicept [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 years ]
    Serum concentration of atacicept
