Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Cohort 1
Cohort 1: MAU868 1350 mg IV approximately every 28 days for a total of 4 doses
|
Drug: MAU868
MAU868 is a human monoclonal antibody (IgG1) that binds the viral capsid protein, VP1, that is responsible for binding to the surface of host cells |
Experimental: Cohort 2
Cohort 2: MAU868 6750 mg IV on Study Day 1 and then 1350 mg IV approximately every 28 days for a total of 4 doses
|
Drug: MAU868
MAU868 is a human monoclonal antibody (IgG1) that binds the viral capsid protein, VP1, that is responsible for binding to the surface of host cells |
Experimental: Cohort 3
Cohort 3: MAU868 6750 mg IV approximately every 28 days for a total of 4 doses
|
Drug: MAU868
MAU868 is a human monoclonal antibody (IgG1) that binds the viral capsid protein, VP1, that is responsible for binding to the surface of host cells |
Placebo Comparator: Placebo Cohort 1, 2, 3
5% dextrose in water [D5W] IV delivered every 28 days for a total of 4 doses
|
Other: Placebo
250 mL D5W placebo IV to be labeled to match that of MAU868 |
- Time (weeks) to decrease of BKV plasma viral load by 1 log [ Time Frame: Study Week 1 - Study Week 12 ]The efficacy of MAU868 in treating BK viremia will be measured primarily by measuring the BK Viral Load in the plasma over time.
- Time (weeks) to first decrease of BKV plasma viral load to less than Lower Limit of Quantification (LLOQ) [ Time Frame: Study Week 1 - Study Week 12 ]The efficacy of MAU868 in treating BK viremia will be measured primarily by measuring the BK Viral Load in the plasma over time.
