requirements

- Have dry body weight less than 120 kg and body mass index less than 40 kg/m2 at
screening

- Are diagnosed with ESRD and have been stable on chronic dialysis for at least 3 months

- Are recipients of de novo or second-time, single kidney transplant from a deceased
donor, either DCD or DBD

- Are ABO compatible with donor allograft, except for type A2 donor to type B recipient
kidneys

- Have a negative cross match

- Have received pretransplant vaccinations for: Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus
pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae, or are willing to receive the vaccinations
approximately 3 to 4 months posttransplant

- Have received SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations consistent with participating site's
requirements
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
70 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
- Any known history of complement deficiency

- Evidence of peritonitis in participants on peritoneal dialysis

- Received any solid organ, bone marrow, or hematopoietic stem cell transplant, with the
exception of prior first kidney transplant

- Current treatment for an autoimmune disease requiring maintenance immunosuppression to
control systemic disease activity that would pose a significant safety risk or put the
participant at undue harm in the opinion of the investigator

- Any history of malignancy unless considered cured by adequate treatment with no
evidence of recurrence for more than 5 years before the first administration of IMP.
Adequately treated participants with the following cancers can be included at any
time: Basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, Carcinoma in situ of the cervix,
Carcinoma in situ of the breast, Incidental histological finding of prostate cancer

- Unwillingness to receive vaccinations consistent with protocol-mandated and
participating site requirements

- Clinically significant active bacterial, viral, or fungal infection or infection with
HBV, HCV, HIV or tuberculosis.

- Clinically significant comorbidity, recent major surgery (within 3 months of
screening), history of any treatment nonadherence, or intention to have surgery during
the study other than kidney transplantation; or any other medical condition that, in
the investigator's opinion, would confound the results of the study or put the
participant at undue risk

- Received a different IMP in another clinical study less than 12 weeks or 5 half-lives
(whichever is longer) before screening

- Currently participating in another interventional clinical study or previously
participated in an ARGX-117 clinical study and received at least 1 dose of IMP

- Known hypersensitivity to ARGX-117 or any of its excipients or to tacrolimus, MMF or
mycophenolic acid, or antithymocyte globulin or allergy to Leporidae (eg, rabbit)

- History (within 12 months before screening) of current alcohol, drug, or medication
abuse as assessed by the investigator

- Pregnant or lactating state or intention to become pregnant during the study

- Received any prior desensitization therapies or any pretransplant immunosuppressive
therapy within 5 half-lives or twice the duration of the biological effect, whichever
is longer.

The full list is available in the protocol.
