Number of Participants With Adverse Events
Week 1 to Week 24

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. SAEs were defined as death, a life-threatening AE, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability or incapacity, a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or an important medical event that jeopardized participant and required medical intervention to prevent 1 of the outcomes listed in this definition. A summary of other non-serious AEs and all serious AEs, regardless of causality is located in Reported AE section.

Frequently asked questions about MOR202

What is MOR202 used for?

MOR202 is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of membranous nephropathy, a type of glomerulonephritis. It is specifically being evaluated in patients who are anti-PLA2R positive. The drug is in clinical development for this condition, with trials conducted in multiple countries.

Who is developing MOR202?

MOR202 is being developed by Biogen Inc., a biopharmaceutical company listed on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol BIIB. Biogen is conducting clinical trials to assess the safety and efficacy of MOR202 in patients with anti-PLA2R positive membranous nephropathy.

What phase is MOR202 in?

MOR202 is in Phase 2 clinical development. A Phase 2 trial, known as NewPLACE, has been completed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of MOR202 in patients with anti-PLA2R positive membranous nephropathy. The drug remains investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

What clinical trials is MOR202 in?

MOR202 has been studied in two completed clinical trials. The first, NCT04145440, was a Phase 1 trial assessing safety and efficacy in anti-PLA2R positive membranous nephropathy with 31 participants. The second, NCT04733040, was a Phase 2 trial called NewPLACE with 24 participants, evaluating efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics.

Is MOR202 the same as any other drug?

MOR202 is the primary name used for this investigational drug in clinical trials. No alternative names have been reported in the context of its development for membranous nephropathy. The drug is being studied under this identifier in both Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials.
