The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether an experimental medicine called BIVV020 can prevent antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) in patients with kidney transplants. BIVV020 is a type of antibody that binds to complement proteins. Complement proteins are part of the immune system, and in some diseases can cause destruction of cells in the body. AMR happens when harmful antibodies activate the complement proteins, leading to inflammation and damage to the kidney graft. Researchers will evaluate whether BIVV020 can prevent or stop activation of complement proteins that lead to AMR, when given in combination with standard-of-care treatment. The study will also examine how the body processes BIVV020, as well as how the immune system responds to treatment. BIVV020 will be given via intravenous (IV) infusion.

A multi-cohort, randomized, Phase 2, open-label study to assess the preliminary efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of BIVV020 for prevention and treatment of antibody-mediated rejection in adult kidney transplant recipients.
