In autoimmune diseases like lupus, however, the body makes antibodies that attack its own tissues, causing inflammation and organ damage. Lupus antibodies attack and damage kidney cells. BG9588 can interfere with the production of these antibodies, and therefore, may lessen kidney damage in people with lupus nephritis.\n\nThis study will look at: how BG9588 enters and leaves the blood and body tissue over time; adverse effects of the drug; and whether treatment with BG9588 can result in less kidney damage than other therapies.\n\nStudy patients will be receive a 30-minute infusion of BG9588 into a vein every two weeks for three doses and then once every 28 days for four doses. Patients' steroid dosage may be tapered; individual adjustments will be made as required.\n\nPatients screened for the study will undergo a physical examination, medical history, various blood and urine tests, as well as complete a quality of life questionnaire. Results of a previous kidney biopsy and chest X ray are also required. Many of these tests will be repeated throughout the study.\n\nIn a previous animal study, BG9588 treatment of mice with lupus nephritis improved their disease and survival.", "detailedDescription"=>"Studies in animals and humans with lupus nephritis have demonstrated that essential role of CD40 ligand/CD40 interaction in the production of pathogenic autoantibodies. Anti-CD40L antibody treatment of mice with lupus nephritis ameliorates disease and improves survival. BG9588 is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to CD40 ligand (CD40L) expressed on the surface of activated T lymphocytes and thereby blocks the CD40L/CD40 interaction between T and B cells that is required for the initiation for certain antibody responses. Available preclinical data indicates that BG9588 does not cause a global blockage of the immune response to pathogens and that its effects are reversible upon clearance from the systemic circulation. In this Phase I/II open-label, multiple-dose, multicenter study, 30 subjects with active proliferative lupus nephritis will receive 20 mg/kg BG9588 by IV infusion once every 14 days for three doses, and then once every 28 days for four doses for a total of 7 doses. The primary objective is to determine if BG9588 can decrease proteinuria by greater than or equal to 50 percent from baseline without worsening renal function. The secondary objectives are to determine the safety and pharmacokinetics of BG9588, as well as the effects of BG9588 on renal flares; cellular casts; C(3) levels and anti-dsDNA titers; requirement for prednisone; general lupus activity; and quality of life."}, "eligibilityModule"=>{"sex"=>"ALL", "stdAges"=>["CHILD", "ADULT", "OLDER_ADULT"], "healthyVolunteers"=>false, "eligibilityCriteria"=>"Must give written informed consent prior to any testing under this protocol.\n\nMust be 18 years or older, inclusive, at the time of informed consent.\n\nMust have a renal biopsy showing active WHO Class III, IV, or mixed membranous and proliferative SLE GN, within the 5 years prior to the first dose of study drug.\n\nMust have proteinuria of greater than or equal to 1.0 g/day at both the Day-27 and day-13 evaluations.\n\nMust fulfill any one the following four criteria, at each of the two screening visits (i.e., Day-27 and Day-13):\n\nAnti-dsDNA antibody greater than 2x the upper limit of normal (ULN).\n\nC3 complement less than 80 mg/dL.\n\nHematuria greater than 5 rbc/hpf.\n\nUrinary granular or red blood cell casts.\n\nMust not have any medical disorder, which in the opinion of the investigator, should exclude the subject from this study.\n\nMust not have prior arterial or venous thrombosis, or history of recurrent abortion (3 or more), in the presence of anti-cardiolipin antibodies.\n\nMust not have a chest x-ray with evidence of active infection or neoplasm within the 6 months prior to the first dose of study drug.\n\nMust not have rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, defined as a doubling of serum creatinine, within the 3 months prior to the first dose of study drug.\n\nMust not have fibrinoid necrosis and/or cellular crescents affecting more than 25 percent of glomeruli in any renal biopsy performed within the 3 months prior to the first dose of study drug.\n\nMust not have clinically significant findings for any of the following within the 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug: active psychiatric disease, serum creatinine greater than 2.0 mg/dL, prothrombin time (PT) greater than 1.3x control (in the absence of coumadin therapy; abnormal PT values due to anti-coagulation therapy are allowed if within the therapeutic range), AST or ALT levels greater than 3x normal, other major organ dysfunction, or serious local or systemic infection (e.g., pneumonia, septicemia).\n\nMust not be positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C antibody (HVC Ab), or HIV antibody at the Day-27 evaluation.\n\nMust not have a mean CD4 count less than or equal to 300 microliters (mean of Day-27 and Day-13 results).\n\nMust not have treatment with an antibody or other investigational drug within the 3 months prior to the first dose of the study drug.\n\nMust not have any vaccination within the 4 weeks prior to the first dose of the study drug.\n\nMust not have treatment with IV or oral cyclophosphamide within the 4 weeks prior to the first dose of the study drug.\n\nMust not have treatment with any of the following medications within the 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug: IV methylprednisolone, cyclosporine or related compound, or oral prednisone (equivalent oral glucocorticoid) at a dose greater than 0.5 mg/kg/day.\n\nMust not have initiation of treatment with ACE inhibitors within the 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug.\n\nMust not have initiation of treatment with azathioprine, methotrexate or mycophenolate mofetil within the 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug.\n\nMust not have treatment with any new oral or new IV antibiotic within the 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug.
