Argenx is conducting a pivotal study titled ‘A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled, Proof-of-Concept Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Efgartigimod in Chinese Patients With Lupus Nephritis.’ This study aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of efgartigimod IV in treating active lupus nephritis (LN) in Chinese patients, marking a significant step in addressing this autoimmune condition.
The intervention being tested is efgartigimod IV, a biological treatment administered through intravenous infusions. It is designed to modulate the immune system and potentially alleviate symptoms of lupus nephritis.
The study follows an interventional design with a randomized, parallel assignment model. It employs a quadruple masking approach, ensuring that participants, care providers, investigators, and outcomes assessors are blinded to the treatment allocations. The primary purpose of this Phase 2 study is treatment-focused.
Key dates for this study include the actual start date on February 21, 2023, and the last update submitted on August 4, 2025. These dates are crucial as they indicate the study’s progression and the timeline for potential results.
The update on this study could influence Argenx’s stock performance positively, as successful results may enhance investor confidence and market position. The collaboration with Zai Lab further strengthens its foothold in the Chinese market, potentially impacting competitors in the autoimmune treatment space.
The study is ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
