About this study
Official title: A Dose Escalation Study Investigating Bispecific Antibody Therapy in Patients With Lupus Nephritis
This study is researching a particular group of experimental drugs administered for a short period in the treatment of participants with Lupus Nephritis (LN).
The main aim of the current study is to see how safe and tolerable the study drugs are in a long-term follow-up.
Read more
This is a main study, called an umbrella study, which includes several independent smaller sub-studies. Each of these smaller main sub-studies tests different drugs at the same time, all aimed at treating LN.
The study is looking at several other research questions, including:
- What side effects may happen from taking the study drug
- How much study drug is in the blood at different times
- Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects)
- Conditions
- Lupus Nephritis (LN)
- Being tested
- Vonsetamig, Odronextamab
- Keywords
- Bispecific Antibodies (bsAb), Double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), LN class III or IV, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
- Medical subject headings
- Lupus Nephritis, Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Vonsetamig and Odronextamab in people with Lupus Nephritis (LN), run by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals at 20 sites in 6 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 20 sites in Spain, United States, South Korea, Taiwan, Germany and 1 more country. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Clinical Trials Administrator (844-734-6643, clinicaltrials@regeneron.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Occurrence of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) (time frame: Up to 56 days). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Oct 2026.
