- Mean Change of Proteinuria as Measured by Spot Urine Protein/Creatinine Ratio (sPCR) at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline to 24 weeks ]Mean change from Baseline (Visit 2) of proteinuria as measured by the spot Protein-Creatinine Ratio (sPCR) at 24 weeks (Visit 9) for the ITT Population
- Mean Change From Pre-treatment to Post-treatment in Mesangial Hypercellularity (M) on Renal Biopsies. [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]
Mean change from pre-treatment to post-treatment in mesangial hypercellularity on renal biopsies. Using the Oxford Classification of IgA Nepthropathy (IgAN), biopsy specimens with a minimum of 8 glomeruli, mesangial hypercellularity (M), endocapillary hypercellularity (E), segmental sclerosis (S), and interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy (T) lesions are scored for assessing histologic findings in IgAN.
M = the mean score based on Oxford Classification system score is based on total count of mesangial cells for all glomeruli (count of <4=0 score, 4 to 5=1, 6 to 7=2, ≥8=3). A decrease in score equates to improvement from IgAN disease.
- Percentage of Subjects With ≥50% Reduction in sPCR From Baseline (Visit 2) at Week 24 (Visit 9). [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]Percentage of subjects with ≥50% reduction in sPCR from Baseline (Visit 2) at Week 24 (Visit 9)
- Percentage of Subjects With ≥ 30% Reduction in Proteinuria From Baseline (Visit 2) at 24 Weeks (Visit 9). [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]Percentage of subjects with ≥ 30% reduction in proteinuria from Baseline (Visit 2) at 24 weeks (Visit 9).
- Mean Change From Pre-treatment to Post-treatment in Percentage of Glomeruli With Endocapillary Hypercellularity (E) on Renal Biopsies. [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]
Mean change from pre-treatment to post-treatment in mesangial hypercellularity on renal biopsies. Using the Oxford Classification of IgA Nepthropathy (IgAN), biopsy specimens with a minimum of 8 glomeruli, mesangial hypercellularity (M), endocapillary hypercellularity (E), segmental sclerosis (S), and interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy (T) lesions are scored for assessing histologic findings in IgAN.
E = Percentage of glomeruli eypercellularity due to increased number of cells within glomerular capillary lumina causing narrowing of the lumina. A decrease in score equates to improvement from IgAN disease.
- Mean Change From Pre-treatment to Post-treatment in Percentage of Glomeruli With Segmental Sclerosis/Adhesion (S) on Renal Biopsies. [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]
Mean change from pre-treatment to post-treatment in mesangial hypercellularity on renal biopsies. Using the Oxford Classification of IgA Nepthropathy (IgAN), biopsy specimens with a minimum of 8 glomeruli, mesangial hypercellularity (M), endocapillary hypercellularity (E), segmental sclerosis (S), and interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy (T) lesions are scored for assessing histologic findings in IgAN.
S = Percentage of any amount of the tuft involved in sclerosis, but not involving the whole tuft or the presence of an adhesion in each glomeruli. A decrease in score equates to improvement from IgAN disease.
- Mean Change From Pre-treatment to Post-treatment in Percentage of Glomeruli With Global Glomerulosclerosis Score on Renal Biopsies. [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]
Mean change from pre-treatment to post-treatment in mesangial hypercellularity on renal biopsies. Using the Oxford Classification of IgA Nepthropathy (IgAN), biopsy specimens with a minimum of 8 glomeruli, mesangial hypercellularity (M), endocapillary hypercellularity (E), segmental sclerosis (S), and interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy (T) lesions are scored for assessing histologic findings in IgAN.
Percentage of any amount of the tuft involved in sclerosis, but not involving the whole tuft or the presence of an adhesion in each glomeruli. A decrease in score equates to improvement from IgAN disease.
- Mean Change From Pre-treatment to Post-treatment in Percentage of Glomeruli With Tubulointerstitial Scarring (T) on Renal Biopsies. [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]
Mean change from pre-treatment to post-treatment in mesangial hypercellularity on renal biopsies. Using the Oxford Classification of IgA Nepthropathy (IgAN), biopsy specimens with a minimum of 8 glomeruli, mesangial hypercellularity (M), endocapillary hypercellularity (E), segmental sclerosis (S), and interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy (T) lesions are scored for assessing histologic findings in IgAN.
T= Percentage of cortical area involved by the tubular atrophy or interstitial fibrosis, whichever is greater. A decrease in score equates to improvement from IgAN disease.
- Mean Change From Pre-treatment to Post-treatment in Percentage of Glomeruli With Cellular/Fibrocellular Crescent Score on Renal Biopsies. [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]Mean change from pre-treatment to post-treatment in cellular/fibrocellular crescent score on renal biopsies. Biopsy specimens with a minimum of 8 glomeruli, mesangial hypercellularity (M), segmental sclerosis (S), and interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy (T) lesions are scored using the Oxford Classification of IgA nepthropathy (IgAN) system for assessing histologic findings in IgAN.
