Subjects who are steroid-resistant, defined asfailure to achieve partial or complete remission, or subjects who experiencedadverse events without acceptable clinical benefit after at least 8 weeks ofadequate corticosteroid therapy for children and 12 weeks for adults are eligible.

  19. UPCR between 1.5g/g and 12.0g/g.

Study Description

R3R01 is investigational small molecule designed to decrease fat levels in certain cells in the kidney and therefore may improve kidney function and reduce damage in the kidney. This is a single arm open-label study enrolling patients in three cohorts. Cohort 1 will include 5 adult (≥18 y/o) patients from Cohorts 2 and 3 (including at least one patient from Cohort 2 and at least one patient from Cohort 3). Cohort 2 will include approximately 20 male and female patients from 12 years and older with X-linked Alport Syndrome (AS), and male and female patients with autosomal inherited AS. Cohort 3 will include approximately 30 male and female patients from age 12 to 75 years with a biopsy proven diagnosis who present with primary steroid-resistant focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) with proteinuria.

All eligible patients will be enrolled to receive R3R01 over a treatment period of 12 weeks with a primary efficacy outcome as the percentage change in proteinuria from baseline to the end of treatment (Day 84) in each cohort as a whole
