This study is designed as a long-term extension to Study APL2-C3G-310, and is being conducted to establish the long-term safety and efficacy of pegcetacoplan in patients with C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) or immune-complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN).
Phase 3 trials are pivotal studies with large patient populations (hundreds to thousands) designed to prove efficacy and safety for FDA submission. A successful Phase 3 readout is typically the last major hurdle before a New Drug Application (NDA) or BLA filing.
Enrollment is complete. The trial is in its follow-up or data collection phase — a readout may occur on or near the primary completion date.
Apellis Pharmaceuticals (APLS) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company D (37/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
