A Study to Learn About the Effects of Felzartamab Infusions in Adults With Kidney Transplants Who Have Late Isolated Microvascular Inflammation
RECRUITING
18 years to 74 years old
Key
• Adequate: 10 or more non-sclerotic/evaluable glomeruli and two muscular arteries
• Minimally Adequate: at least 7 non-sclerotic/evaluable glomeruli and one muscular artery * For participants who received any prior treatment for antibody-mediated rejection (AMR), MVI, or TCMR as outlined in Exclusion Criterion 5, the biopsy must be performed at least 6 weeks after completing (or stopping) prior treatment. * Kidney transplant at least 6 months prior to Screening visit (recipients of either living or deceased donors). * DSA: Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) Class I and II antigen-specific DSA-negative (preformed and de novo DSA) as determined by the local laboratory's definition of positivity using single-antigen bead-based assays within 3 months prior to randomization. Key
• Intravenous or subcutaneous immunoglobulin (IVIg or subcutaneous immunoglobulin \[SCIg\]) or plasma exchange (PLEX).
• Complement system inhibitors (e.g., eculizumab).
• Proteasome inhibitors (e.g., bortezomib).
• The anti-interleukin-6 receptor (anti-IL-6R) tocilizumab.
• Any B cell-depleting therapy (including anti-CD20 agents \[e.g., rituximab\]) within 3 months prior to randomization.
• Any other investigational agent within 3 months or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) of randomization. Note: Other protocol-defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
Inclusion Criteria:
* MVI (MVI ≥2), donor specific antibody (DSA)-negative that is either complement activation (C4d) negative or C4d positive (biopsy-confirmed) without T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) per central reading, as defined by the Banff 2022 criteria.
* Biopsy must be within 3 months (preferably within 1 month) prior to randomization and meet adequate criteria (option a preferred over option b):
• Adequate: 10 or more non-sclerotic/evaluable glomeruli and two muscular arteries
• Minimally Adequate: at least 7 non-sclerotic/evaluable glomeruli and one muscular artery * For participants who received any prior treatment for antibody-mediated rejection (AMR), MVI, or TCMR as outlined in Exclusion Criterion 5, the biopsy must be performed at least 6 weeks after completing (or stopping) prior treatment. * Kidney transplant at least 6 months prior to Screening visit (recipients of either living or deceased donors). * DSA: Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) Class I and II antigen-specific DSA-negative (preformed and de novo DSA) as determined by the local laboratory's definition of positivity using single-antigen bead-based assays within 3 months prior to randomization.

Exclusion Criteria:
* Transplant: Blood type (ABO)-incompatible transplant.
* History of multiple organ transplants including en bloc and dual kidney transplants.
* Presence of HLA donor-specific antibodies.
* Acute, rapid decline in renal function, defined as a participant likely to require renal replacement therapy within the next 30 days as determined by the Investigator.
* Prior AMR or TCMR treatment (with the exception of corticosteroids) within 3 months prior to randomization is excluded as listed below. Participants who received any of these treatments between 3 and 6 months prior to randomization must have both a renal biopsy (IC3) and DSA testing at least 6 weeks after completing (or stopping) treatment in order to confirm continuing MVI≥2 and DSA negative status and to determine eligibility:
• Intravenous or subcutaneous immunoglobulin (IVIg or subcutaneous immunoglobulin \[SCIg\]) or plasma exchange (PLEX).
• Complement system inhibitors (e.g., eculizumab).
• Proteasome inhibitors (e.g., bortezomib).
• The anti-interleukin-6 receptor (anti-IL-6R) tocilizumab.
• Any B cell-depleting therapy (including anti-CD20 agents \[e.g., rituximab\]) within 3 months prior to randomization.
• Any other investigational agent within 3 months or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) of randomization. Note: Other protocol-defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
