The company reported that interim data from the BRIGHT-SC study (n=57) demonstrated a positive trend in the reduction of proteinuria in blisibimod versus placebo treated patients. Additionally, secondary biomarker data from the study, including changes in total B cell counts and changes in immunoglobulins IgA, IgG, and IgM, were highly consistent with previous studies with blisibimod and demonstrated marked reduction after 8 weeks on study.  As a result of the increasing proteinuria effect after 24-week of dosing, and the clear demonstration of blisibimod’s effect on immunological markers relevant to IgA nephropathy, the company has elected to continue the study through the 48-week time-point.
