Conditions: Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis
Allocation: NA | Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP
Enrollment: 12
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
This study is being done to see if daratumumab is safe and effective in the treatment of proliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal immune deposits (PGNMID) and C3 glomerulopathy associated with monoclonal gammopathy (C3GN). This is an inflammatory disease in the kidney due to the production of abnormal proteins. There are no known standard effective treatments for patients with PGNMID and C3GN secondary to monoclonal gammopathy. These diseases are caused by abnormal production of proteins (monoclonals) by abnormal clones. Daratumamb has been shown to be effective in treating patients with multiple myeloma a disease which also caused by over production of monoclonal proteins from abnormal clones. Everyone in this study will receive daratumumab.

Detailed description:
This study is an open-label phase 2 trial of the safety and efficacy of daratumumab, in the treatment of PGNMID and C3GN associated with monoclonal gammopathy. Subjects will be screened at outpatient Nephrology Clinic visit appointments and interested qualified subjects will be consented and offered participation in this trial. Once consent has been obtained baseline values will be established and subjects will begin treatment and follow-up for the next 12 months. Daratumumab will be administered once weekly for 8 weeks and then once every 2 weeks for 8 additional doses. Patients will be followed for a total of 12 months (6 months after the last infusion). A final visit for evaluation and collection of lab samples will be conducted at the end of the study.

Arms:
arm 1: Subjects will receive daratumumab intravenously at a dose of 16 mg/kg once weekly for 8 weeks followed by once every 2 weeks for 8 additional doses

Interventions: intervention 1: Daratumumab
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Intravenously (IV) at a dose of 16 mg/kg once weekly for 8 weeks, followed by once every 2 weeks for eight additional doses

1 Introduction 
 
This document is a protocol for a human research study. This study will be carried out in 
accordance with the applicable United States government regulations and Mayo Clinic research 
policies and procedures.  
1.1 
Background 
Monoclonal gammopathy (MG) are well known to cause kidney damage. The most common 
example is light chain deposition disease that occurs commonly in the setting of multiple 
myeloma.1 Over the last several years, however, there is more recognition that many kidney lesions 
are associated with low-grade plasma cell dyscrasia or lymphoproliferative disorders.2 In fact the 
term monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS) has been introduced to capture 
kidney lesions associated with monoclonal gammopathy (MG) in the absence of multiple 
myeloma.3 One of the lesions commonly encountered in patients with MGRS is proliferative 
glomerulonephritis with monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition (PGNMID) were damage is 
caused by direct deposition of the monoclonals with associated inflammation.4-6 Another is C3 
glomerulopathy (C3 GN) in the setting of MG where the monoclonals result in activation of 
complement pathway and indirectly result in renal injury.7-9 PGNMID and C3 GN associated with 
MG are diagnosed based on renal biopsy. Majority of patients present with hematuria and 
proteinuria and many have a progressive course with loss of renal function over time. Up to 70% 
of patients with PGNMID may have negative serum electrophoresis with immunofixation, normal 
serum free light chains and no clone may be identified on bone marrow biopsy.6 Treatment of 
patients with PGNMID and C3GN associated with MG should be directed towards the pathologic 
clone.  There is currently no standardized treatment for these patients and treatments vary based 
on clinical practice. We currently use combination of cyclophosphamide, bortezomib and 
dexamethasone in patients with IgG and IgA monoclonals, and rituximab in patients with IgM 
monoclonals.10 The current treatments however, have had limited success rate and are associated 
with significant side effects. There is a desperate need for additional therapeutic options in this 
population. The high expression of CD38 on plasma cells and low expression on other myeloid 
cells makes CD38 an appealing target for monoclonal antibody therapy such as daratumumab. 
Daratumumab has been efficacious in treatment of patients with refractory multiple myeloma and 
overall is well-tolerated. 11 We propose use of daratumumab as first or second line agent in patients 
with PGNMID and C3GN associated with MG.  
1.2 
Investigational Agent 
Daratumumab is an IgG1-kappa human monoclonal antibody that binds to the CD38 
transmembrane glycoprotein on the surface of tumor cells and induces apoptosis. This process is 
mediated through Fc mediated cross linking and immune-mediated cell lysis through 
complement dependent cytotoxicity, antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity and antibody 
dependent cellular phagocytosis. It has an elimination half-time of 18 days and volume of 
distribution of 4.7L. Daratumumab is FDA approved for use in treatment of multiple myeloma, 
however is not approved for treatment of the condition under study, PGNMID and C3 GN 
associated with MG.  The study was submitted by the Principal Investigator to the FDA for 
review and granted an IND Exemption.

1.3 
Clinical Data to Date 
The safety and efficacy of daratumumab in patients with refractory multiple myeloma has been 
shown in two open-label studies. The first was a phase 1-2 study published in NEJM which 
evaluated the efficacy and safety of daratumumab in 42 patients. Overall 36% of patients had 
complete or partial response. The second study was an open label phase 2 study published in 
Lancet that evaluated the efficacy and safety of daratumumab in 106 patients with refractory 
multiple myeloma and 29 percent of patients experienced a complete or partial remission. These 
were patients that had failed at least 3 previous therapies. Daratumumab was overall well 
tolerated. Fatigue and anemia of any grade were the most common adverse events but no drug-
related adverse events led to treatment discontinuation. 
 
1.4 
Dose Rationale and Risk/Benefits 
The dose of daratumumab that has proven to be effective in patients with multiple myeloma is 16 
mg/kg started once weekly for 8 weeks followed by every other week for 16 weeks, and then 
once every 4 weeks thereafter. We will be using similar dose (16 mg/kg) and similar dosing 
interval for a total of 16 doses over a 24 week period. The drug is only available to be 
administered intravenously and we aim to use the same route of administration.  
 
Daratumumab overall is well-tolerated. The most common side-effect is infusion-related reaction 
(48%). We aim to use the same pre and post treatment regimen (including corticosteroid, 
diphenhydramine and acetaminophen) as has been done in the previous trials.  Serious adverse 
effects include anemia, grade 3 or 4 (19%), lymphocytopenia grade 3 or 4 (40%), neutropenia, 
grade 3 or 4 (20%), thrombocytopenia, Grade 3 or 4 (18%), and increased risk of infection 
specifically pneumonia (11%).  Common adverse effects include nausea (27%), anemia all 
grades (45%), lymphocytopenia all grades (72%), neutropenia all grades (60%), 
thrombocytopenia all grades (48%), backache (23%), cough (21%), upper respiratory infection 
(20%), fatigue (39%), fever (21%). 
 
The treatment options for patients with PGNMID or C3GN associated with monoclonal 
gammopathy are limited with variable success. If untreated, majority of patients will progress to 
endstage renal disease. The current therapeutic options include rituximab vs. cyclophosphamide 
and prednisone with or without bortezomib. Daratumumab has a similar if not better side-effect 
profile to the above-mentioned treatment options and therefore we believe the risks associated 
with daratumumab are acceptable.   
2 Study Objectives 
Primary Objective 
To assess the safety of daratumumab in patients with PGNMID or C3GN associated with 
monoclonal gammopathy. 
 
Secondary Objective 
 
To assess the efficacy of daratumumab in inducing complete or partial remission in patients with 
PGNMID or C3GN associated with monoclonal gammopathy as measured by change in 
proteinuria and serum creatinine.

3 Study Design 
3.1 
General Design 
 
This study is an open-label phase 2 trial of the safety and efficacy of daratumumab, in the 
treatment of PGNMID and C3GN associated with monoclonal gammopathy.  Subjects will be 
screened at outpatient Nephrology Clinic visit appointments and interested qualified subjects will 
be consented and offered participation in this trial.  Once consent has been obtained baseline 
values will be established and subjects will begin treatment and follow-up for the next 12 
months.  Daratumumab will be administered once weekly for 8 weeks and then once every 2 
weeks for 8 additional doses.  Patients will be followed for a total of 12 months (6 months after 
the last infusion).   A final visit for evaluation and collection of lab samples will be conducted at 
the end of the study. 
 
3.2 
The clinical course of the patients who have achieved complete or partial remission 
following daratumumab is unclear, therefore these patients who have consented to the 
OLE and achieved complete or partial remission, will be followed for 24 months 
following completion of the main trial. In the OLE, patients will be assessed every 3 to 6 
months. Relapse is defined as a 30% increase in proteinuria from the lowest level the 
patient has achieved and will be documented with two 24 hour urine collections two 
weeks apart.  If there is evidence of relapse, patients will receive 12 additional doses of  
daratumumab(16 mg/kg).  The first 8 doses will be given weekly and the last 4 doses will 
be administered every other week. Primary Endpoints 
Incidence of major infection (defined as the development of pneumonia, severe urinary tract 
infection/pyelonephritis, sepsis, meningitis), grade 3 or 4 anemia, leukopenia or 
thrombocytopenia and changes in HgB, WBC count and platelet count from baseline to 6 month 
and 12 month timepoints. 
3.3 
Secondary  Endpoints 
Proportion of patients achieving complete or partial remission where the responses are 
defined as below:  
a)  Complete Response at 12 months

5 Study Drug  
5.1 
Description 
Daratumumab is an IgG1-kappa human monoclonal antibody that binds to the CD38 
transmembrane glycoprotein on the surface of tumor cells and induces apoptosis. It appears in 
liquid form and is administered intravenously.  
 
5.2 
Treatment Regimen 
 
The drug will be given intravenously at a dose of 16 mg/kg once weekly for 8 weeks followed by 
once every 2 weeks for 8 additional doses 
 
If there is evidence of relapse, patients in OLE will be treated with 12 doses of daratumumab (16 
mg/kg). The first 8 doses will be given weekly and the last 4 doses will be administred every other 
week.   
 
5.3 
Method for Assigning Subjects to Treatment Groups 
 
This study is non-randomized trial and all 12patients that are enrolled in this study will receive 
daratumumab.

Preparation and Administration of Study Drug 
 
Study drug will be prepared in the research pharmacy.  
 
Pretreatment: Fifteen minutes prior to the first infusion, 100 mg methylprednisolone will be 
administered via IV along with 1000 mg acetaminophen and 50 mg diphenhydramine given by 
mouth.  Fifteen minutes prior to all subsequent infusions, only 1000 mg acetaminophen and 50 
mg diphenhydramine will be administered by mouth.   
 
First Infusion and those part of OLE being retreated due to relapse (16 mg/Kg): IV infusion 
in 1000 mL 0.9% NaCl via 0.2 or 0.22 micron in-line filter, beginning at 50 mL/hr. Increase by 
50 mL/hr every 60 minutes, as tolerated, to a maximum rate of 200 mL/hr. Vital signs will be 
taken every 15 minutes for first hour, then every hour until end of infusion, and then again after 
IV flush.   
 
Second Infusion (16mg/Kg): IV infusion in 500 mL 0.9% NaCl via 0.2 or 0.22 micron in-line 
filter, beginning at 50 mL/hr. Increase by 50 mL/hr every 60 minutes, as tolerated, to maximum 
rate of 200 mL/hr. If the first infusion was not well tolerated (infusion-related reaction > Grade 
1), then instructions for the first infusion should be used. Vital signs will be taken every 15 
minutes for first hour, then every hour until end of infusion, and then again after IV flush.   
 
Subsequent Infusions(16 mg/Kg): IV infusion in 500 mL 0.9% NaCl via 0.2 or 0.22 micron in-
line filter, beginning at 100 mL/hr. Increase by 50 mL/hr every 60 minutes, as tolerated, to 
maximum rate of 200 mL/hr. If the previous infusion was not well tolerated (infusion-related 
reaction > Grade 1), then instructions for the second infusion will be used. Vital signs will be 
taken every 15 minutes for first hour, then every hour until end of infusion, and then again after 
IV flush.   
 
Infusion related reactions: Diphenhydramine 25 mg IV can be given every 4 hours as needed 
and may repeat once if symptoms are not relieved within 15 minutes of initial dose.  
Methylprednisolone 100 mg IV can be given as needed for infusion related reactions.   
 
Post-infusion: All patients should receive dexamethasone 4 mg by mouth once daily with food 
for two days beginning the day after daratumumab. In addition, acyclovir 400 mg by mouth 
twice daily, beginning within one week of starting daratumumab, and continuing for 3 months 
after the last daratumumab infusion.  Beginning the day after their first daratumumab infusion, 
patients will also start single strength Bactrim once a day (or its equivalent) to prevent 
opportunistic infections, including pneumocystis pneumonia. Treatment with Bactrim will 
continue for six months after the last daratumumab infusion.  
 
 
A worksheet will be created specifically for this study, which would include a dose calculation 
with a double check by another pharmacist for added safety.  The drug will be prepared in the 
following steps.

5.5 
Subject Compliance Monitoring 
 
This drug is administered intravenously in the CRU and we can ensure compliance. If patient 
misses more than one infusion within the first 8 weeks or more than two infusions in the 
following 4 months the subject will be withdrawn from the study. We will continue to follow the 
subject as part of the research study with blood and urine studies and clinic visits to ensure 
safety.     
5.6 
Prior and Concomitant Therapy 
 
The patient should be off of all immunosuppressive therapies (cyclophosphamide, MMF, 
cyclosporine, tacrolimus, azathioprine, ACTH) within three months of enrollment in the study. If 
patient has received rituximab prior to the study there should be evidence of B-cell reconstitution 
prior to enrollment (CD 20 count>5).  The subject should be off of prednisone or glucocorticoid 
equivalent in the last 6 weeks prior to enrollment, unless they are being treated with low dose 
oral prednisone or glucocorticoid for a condition unrelated to PGNMID or C3GN (e.g., asthma, 
gout) at a daily dose of 10mg or less. 
Patients can receive ACE-I or ARB while enrolled in the study but dose adjustment is not 
allowed unless down titration for safety reasons.  
 
Rescue treatment is not permitted while receiving daratumumab. If patient is failing treatment 
with evidence of disease progression (> 50% increase in proteinuria and > 30% reduction in GFR 
based on creatinine clearance) on visit day 77, the subject will be withdrawn from the study and 
can then receive other immunosuppressive therapy per discretion of the treating physician.  
Management of Hepatitis B Virus Reactivation 
Primary antiviral prophylaxis is permitted as per local standard of care.  Per protocol, HBV DNA 
testing by PCR is mandatory for subjects at risk for HBV reactivation see Section 6. 
For subjects who are diagnosed with HBV reactivation while on treatment, study treatment should 
be interrupted until the infection is adequately controlled. If the benefits outweigh the risks, study 
treatment may be resumed with concomitant antiviral prophylaxis as per local standard of care. 
Consult a liver disease specialist as clinically indicated.

5.7 
Packaging 
 
Commercially available supplies of daratumumab will be obtained for use in this study.  
Daratumumab is supplied in glass vials containing daratumumab at a concentration of 20 
mg/mL. These will remain in the commercial packaging until prepared by the research 
pharmacy.  After infusion preparation by the research pharmacy, the final infusion will be 
labeled as follows: "Caution: New Drug--Limited by Federal (or United States) law to 
investigational use." 
 
5.8 
Masking/Blinding of Study  
 
This is an open-label study and all participants will be receiving the study drugs. There will be 
no blinding or masking.   
 
5.9 
Receiving, Storage, Dispensing and Return 
5.9.1 Receipt of Drug Supplies 
Janssen Scientific Affairs, LLC will ship the study medication directly to the Mayo Clinic 
Research Pharmacy.  Mayo Clinic Research Pharmacy will ensure maintenance of complete and 
accurate records of the receipt, dispensation, and disposal of all the study drug in compliance with 
regulatory and institutional requirements..  Any discrepancies, damaged or unusable study drug in 
a given shipment (active drug or comparator) will be documented in the study files. The sponsor-
investigator will be notified immediately of any discrepancies, damaged or unusable products 
that are received.  
5.9.2 Storage 
Research Pharmacy will store the study medication in a refrigerator specifically delegated for 
Research use only.  The temperature is monitored electronically 24/7, 365 days/year. All study 
drug vials will be stored in in a refrigerator ranging from 2°C to 8°C (36ºF to 46ºF) and will not 
be utilized after the expiry date printed on the label. The product must be protected from light so 
it will be kept in the boxes that it is shipped in until its use. The drug must not be frozen. 
Daratumumab does not contain preservatives; therefore any unused portion remaining in the vial 
must be discarded. The Research Pharmacy is a separate area within the Central Pharmacy.  To 
enter the pharmacy, it requires identification badge scanning.  Only pharmacy personnel have 
access to the pharmacy. 
 
5.9.3 Dispensing of Study Drug 
 
Regular study drug reconciliation will be performed to document drug assigned, drug dispensed, 
drug returns, and drug remaining.  This reconciliation will be logged on the drug reconciliation 
form, and signed and dated by the study team.

2 Subjects If hepatitis B results are positive HBV testing by PCR will be performed.  Subjects who are positive for Anti-HBc or Anti-HBs will undergo testing for hepatitis B DNA by PCR. Subjects with serologic findings suggestive of HBV 
vaccination (Anti-HBs positivity as the only serologic marker) and a known history of prior HBV vaccination do not need to be tested for HBV DNA by PCR. During and following study treatment, subjects who have history of HBV 
infection will be closely monitored for clinical and laboratory signs of reactivation of HBV as specified in the Test and Monitoring Schedule Table above.  Local law requires positive test results be reported to local health authorities.   
3If HIVor Hepatitis C test results are positive a reflex test will be conducted to confirm .  Local law requires positive test results be reported to local health authorities.   
 4 Serum pregnancy test for women with childbearing potential. 
5Daratumumab treatment affects pre-transfusion blood testing.  Therefore, in the event that a patient may need a blood transfusion Indirect Antiglobulin Testing will be performed at screening, prior to the first daratumumab 
infusion,  and the results given to patients to carry for the duration of the study. 
6 Urine pregnancy test prior to infusion for women with childbearing potential. 
7Pre-infusion medication methylprednisolone given prior to first infusion and only as needed for subsequent infusions for infusion reactions.   Pre-infusion medications acetaminophen and diphenhydramine given prior to all 
infusions. 
8 In the OLE patients will be followed clinically every 3 to 6 months, as determined by the treating nephrologist in consultation with the PI. If there is evidence of relapse defined as a 30% increase in their proteinuria 
from the lowest proteinuria level that the patient had achieved, patients will be treated with 12 additional doses  daratumumab  at 16 mg/kg.

7 Statistical Plan 
7.1 
Sample Size Determination 
This is a proof-of-concept study and therefore a power calculation was not performed. The 
primary endpoint of this study is the safety of this drug in terms of incidence of rate of treatment 
emergent major infection, grade 3 or 4 anemia, leukopenia or thrombocytopenia in patients with 
PGNMID and C3 GN associated with monoclonal gammopathy and the secondary endpoint is to 
the efficacy of daratumumab in this patient population. A paired t-test will be utilized to test the 
hypotheses described below.  Twelve subjects will be enrolled in the study.  
 
7.2   Statistical Methods 
Descriptive Statistics 
Univariate descriptive statistics and frequency distributions will be calculated, as appropriate for 
all variables.  Baseline values for demographic, clinical, and outcome variables (primary and 
secondary) in each response category will be tabulated. Time-to-response will be analyzed 
descriptively with Kaplan-Meier method.   
 
For the primary endpoint, the number and proportion of patients with treatment-emergent major 
infections, grade 3 or 4 anemia, leukopenia or thrombocytopenia will be summarized. Changes in 
Hgb, WBC count and platelet count from baseline (Day 0) will be analyzed through a paired t-
test by comparing post-baseline to baseline values. The secondary endpoint of the proportion of 
patients with complete or partial response will be summarized in a similar manner.  
 
It is expected that 9 patients will enter the OLE. The rate of relapse in addition to the time to 
relapse from the last dose of daratumumab to initiation of retreatment will be evaluated. Paired t-
test will be used to evaluate change in the proteinuria from time of relapse to the end of the 
study. Rate of CR and PR will be evaluated at the end of the OLE.  
 
 
Handling of Missing Data 
This is a study of only 12 patients and expect that majority of patients will have complete data 
available.   
 
 
 
Primary Hypothesis: Daratumumab is safe and well-tolerated in patients with PGNMID and 
C3GN associated with monoclonal gammopathy 
 
To test this hypothesis, the incidence of major infection will be examined, specifically the 
development of pneumonia, severe urinary tract infection/pyelonephritis, sepsis, meningitis will 
be reported.  In addition, anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia will be examined by evaluating 
changes in   Hgb, WBC count and platelet count, respectively. Statistical significance will be 
assessed using paired t-test comparing 6 months and 1 year value compared to baseline. The 


Daratumumab in PGNMID/C3GN 
 
Version 2.0 
 
Revised 6/272019 
 
 
Page 22 of 40 
number of patients who had to discontinue drug due to side effect (drop in blood counts, 
infection) will also be reported. 
 
Secondary Hypothesis: Daratumumab is effective in inducing remission (defined as 
improvement in proteinuria and eGFR) in patients with PGNMID and C3GN associated with 
monoclonal gammopathy 
 
A paired t-test will be performed to assess change in proteinuria and renal function at 6 months 
and 12 months compared to baseline (screening visit). 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Daratumumab in PGNMID/C3GN 
 
Version 2.0 
 
Revised 6/272019 
 
 
Page 23 of 40 
Interim Analysis 
Interim analysis will be done every 6 months to assess safety of the drug. The study will be 
stopped if four patients experience serious adverse events including infection, anemia, 
thrombocytopenia or leucopenia resulting in discontinuation of study drug.  
A four person Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) comprised of clinical researchers not 
affiliated with the study will be established and responsible for evaluating the ongoing progress 
of the study.  The DSMB will communicate by meeting every 6 months to review interim 
analysis.  The Chairperson of the DSMB will be notified of SAEs within 48 hours of them being 
reported and the Chair will have an additional 48 hours in which to respond and determine 
whether an emergency of the DSMB is required.  The DSMB will act in an advisory capacity to 
the PI’s to monitor participant safety, data quality and evaluate the progress of the study.  
7.2 
Subject Population(s) for Analysis 
All-treated population:  Any subject that received at least one dose of study drug. 
8 Safety and Adverse Events 
The primary side effects associated with daratumumab include anemia, neutropenia and 
thrombocytopenia and these will be evaluated initially by monthly CBC done on Day 21, 49, 77, 
105, 133, 161 and then every 3 months done on Day 264, 365. Further, these will be evaluated 
during OLE laboratory assessments. 
 
Other side effects include risk of infection specifically pneumonia and patients will be asked 
about any sings of symptoms suggestive of infection (e.g fever, cough) or any hospitalization, 
emergency department visits or other doctor visits at the clinical visits on Day 49, 77, 133, 161, 
264, 365 and during OLE when laboratory assessments are completed or an infusion is 
administeredOther side effects include symptoms of nausea and fatigue and similarly patients 
will be asked regarding these symptoms at the time of clinic visits and during OLE when 
laboratory assessments are completed or an infusion is administered. 
 
8.1 
Definitions 
Unanticipated Problems Involving Risk to Subjects or Others (UPIRTSO) 
Any unanticipated problem or adverse event that meets the following three criteria:  
• Serious: Serious problems or events that results in significant harm, (which may be 
physical, psychological, financial, social, economic, or legal) or increased risk for the 
subject or others (including individuals who are not research subjects). These include: (1) 
death; (2) life threatening adverse experience; (3) hospitalization - inpatient, new, or 
prolonged; (4) disability/incapacity - persistent or significant; (5) birth defect/anomaly; (6) 
breach of confidentiality and (7) other problems, events, or new information (i.e. 
publications, DSMB reports, interim findings, product labeling change) that in the opinion 
of the local investigator may adversely affect the rights, safety, or welfare of the subjects 
or others, or substantially compromise the research data, AND 
• Unanticipated: (i.e. unexpected) problems or events are those that are not already 
described as potential risks in the protocol, consent document, not listed in the 
Investigator’s Brochure, or not part of an underlying disease. A problem or event is 


Daratumumab in PGNMID/C3GN 
 
Version 2.0 
 
Revised 6/272019 
 
 
Page 24 of 40 
"unanticipated" when it was unforeseeable at the time of its occurrence. A problem or 
event is "unanticipated" when it occurs at an increased frequency or at an increased 
severity than expected, AND 
• Related: A problem or event is "related" if it is possibly related to the research procedures. 
Adverse Event 
An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study subject administered a 
medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. An adverse event does not necessarily 
have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable 
and unintended sign (including an abnormal finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated 
with the use of a medicinal (investigational or non- investigational) product, whether or not related 
to that medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. (Definition per International 
Conference on Harmonisation [ICH]) 
 
This includes any occurrence that is new in onset or aggravated in severity or frequency from the 
baseline condition, or abnormal results of diagnostic procedures, including laboratory test 
abnormalities. 
 
Serious Adverse Event 
A serious adverse event based on ICH and EU Guidelines on Pharmacovigilance for Medicinal 
Products for Human Use is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: 
 
• Results in death 
• Is life-threatening 
(The subject was at risk of death at the time of the event. It does not 
refer to an event that hypothetically might have caused death if it were 
more severe.) 
• Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing 
hospitalization 
• Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity 
• Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect 
• Is a suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal 
product 
• Is medically important* 
 
and/or per protocol may be problems/events that in the opinion of the sponsor-investigator may 
have adversely affected the rights, safety, or welfare of the subjects or others, or substantially 
compromised the research data. 
 
*Medical and scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether expedited reporting is 
also appropriate in other situations, such as important medical events that may not be 
immediately life threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the subject 
or may require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the definition above. 
These should usually be considered serious. 
 
NOTE: DEATH FOR ANY REASON SHOULD BE REPORTED AS A SERIOUS 
ADVERSE EVENT. 


Daratumumab in PGNMID/C3GN 
 
Version 2.0 
 
Revised 6/272019 
 
 
Page 25 of 40 
 
All adverse events that do not meet any of the criteria for serious, should be regarded as non-
serious adverse events.

Revised 6/272019 
 
 
Page 26 of 40 
Adverse Event Reporting Period 
For this study, the study treatment follow-up period is defined as 365 days following the last 
administration of study treatment.  
 
Preexisting Condition 
A preexisting condition is one that is present at the start of the study.  A preexisting condition 
should be recorded as an adverse event if the frequency, intensity, or the character of the 
condition worsens during the study period. 
 
General Physical Examination Findings 
At screening, any clinically significant abnormality should be recorded as a preexisting 
condition.  At the end of the study, any new clinically significant findings/abnormalities that 
meet the definition of an adverse event must also be recorded and documented as an adverse 
event.  
 
Post-study Adverse Event 
All unresolved adverse events should be followed by the sponsor-investigator until the events are 
resolved, the subject is lost to follow-up, or the adverse event is otherwise explained.  At the last 
scheduled visit, the sponsor-investigator should instruct each subject to report, to the sponsor-
investigator, any subsequent event(s) that the subject, or the subject’s personal physician, 
believes might reasonably be related to participation in this study.  
 
Abnormal Laboratory Values 
A clinical laboratory abnormality should be documented as an adverse event if:  
- 
Monthly CBC shows that Hgb is < 8.0 g/dL  
- 
Monthly CBC shows that WBC is < 3.0  
- 
Monthly CBC shows ANC < 500 
- 
Monthly CBC shows that platelet count is < 50,000  
 
Hospitalization, Prolonged Hospitalization or Surgery 
For reports of hospitalization, it is the sign, symptom or diagnosis which led to the hospitalization 
that is the serious event for which details must be provided. 
 
Any event requiring hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization that occurs during the 
study must be reported as a serious adverse event, except hospitalizations for the following: 
• Hospitalizations not intended to treat an acute illness or adverse event (e.g., social 
reasons such as pending placement in long-term care facility) 
• Surgery or procedure planned before entry into the study. [Note: Hospitalizations 
that were planned before the start of data collection and where the underlying 
condition for which the hospitalization was planned has not worsened will not be 
considered serious adverse events. Any adverse event that results in a 
prolongation of the originally planned hospitalization is to be reported as a new 
serious adverse event.] 
• [For convenience the investigator may choose to hospitalize the subject for the 
duration of the treatment period.]

8.2 
Recording of Adverse Events 
At each contact with the subject, the study team must seek information on adverse events by 
specific questioning and, as appropriate, by examination.  Information on all adverse events 
should be recorded immediately in the source document, and also in the appropriate adverse 
event section of the case report form (CRF).  All clearly related signs, symptoms, and abnormal 
diagnostic, laboratory or procedure results should recorded in the source document. 
 
All adverse events occurring during the study period must be recorded.  The clinical course of 
each event should be followed until resolution, stabilization, or until it has been ultimately 
determined that the study treatment or participation is not the probable cause.  Serious adverse 
events that are still ongoing at the end of the study period must be followed up, to determine the 
final outcome.  Any serious adverse event that occurs after the study period and is considered to 
be at least possibly related to the study treatment or study participation should be recorded and 
reported immediately. 
8.3 
Reporting of Serious Adverse Events and Unanticipated Problems 
When an adverse event has been identified, the study team will take appropriated action 
necessary to protect the study participant and then complete the Study Adverse Event Worksheet 
and log.  The sponsor-investigator will evaluate the event and determine the necessary follow-up 
and reporting required. 
 
8.3.1 Sponsor-Investigator reporting: notifying the Mayo IRB 
The sponsor-investigator will report to the Mayo IRB any UPIRTSOs and Non-UPIRTSOs 
according to the Mayo IRB Policy and Procedures. 
 
Information collected on the adverse event worksheet (and entered in the research database):  
• Subject’s name:  
• Medical record number:  
• Disease/histology (if applicable):  
• The date the adverse event occurred:  
• Description of the adverse event:  
• Relationship of the adverse event to the research (drug, procedure, or intervention):  
• If the adverse event was expected:  
• The severity of the adverse event: (use a table to define severity scale 1-5) 
• If any intervention was necessary:  
• Resolution: (was the incident resolved spontaneously, or after discontinuing treatment) 
• Date of Resolution:  
 
The sponsor-investigator will review all adverse event reports to determine if specific reports 
need to be made to the IRB and FDA.  The sponsor-investigator will sign and date the adverse 
event report when it is reviewed.  For this protocol, only directly related SAEs/UPIRTSOs will 
be reported to the IRB.

9 Data Handling and Record Keeping 
9.1 
Confidentiality 
Information about study subjects will be kept confidential and managed according to the 
requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).  
Those regulations require a signed subject authorization informing the subject of the following:  
• What protected health information (PHI) will be collected from subjects in this study 
• Who will have access to that information and why 
• Who will use or disclose that information 
• The rights of a research subject to revoke their authorization for use of their PHI.  
 
In the event that a subject revokes authorization to collect or use PHI, the investigator, by 
regulation, retains the ability to use all information collected prior to the revocation of subject 
authorization.  For subjects that have revoked authorization to collect or use PHI, attempts 
should be made to obtain permission to collect at least vital status (long term survival status that 
the subject is alive) at the end of their scheduled study period. 
9.2 
Source Documents 
Source data is all information, original records of clinical findings, observations, or other 
activities in a clinical trial necessary for the reconstruction and evaluation of the trial.  Source 
data are contained in source documents.  Examples of these original documents, and data records 
include: hospital records, clinical and office charts, laboratory notes, memoranda, subjects’ 
diaries or evaluation checklists, pharmacy dispensing records, recorded data from automated 
instruments, copies or transcriptions certified after verification as being accurate and complete, 
microfiches, photographic negatives, microfilm or magnetic media, x-rays, subject files, and 
records kept at the pharmacy, at the laboratories, and at medico-technical departments involved 
in the clinical trial. 
 
9.3 
Case Report Forms 
A Case Report Form (CRF) will be completed for each subject enrolled into the clinical study.  
The investigator will review, approve and sign/date each completed CRF; the investigator 
signature serving as attestation of the investigator responsibility for ensuring that all clinical and 
laboratory data entered on the CRF are complete, accurate and authentic. 
 
The study case report form (CRF) is the primary data collection instrument for the study.  All 
data requested on the CRF must be recorded.  All missing data must be explained.  If a space on 
the CRF is left blank because the procedure was not done or the question was not asked, write 
“N/D”.  If the item is not applicable to the individual case, write “N/A”.  All entries should be 
printed legibly in black ink.  If any entry error has been made, to correct such an error, draw a 
single straight line through the incorrect entry and enter the correct data above it.  All such 
changes must be initialed and dated.  Do not erase or use “white-out” for errors.  For clarification 
of illegible or uncertain entries, print the clarification above the item, then initial and date it.  If 
the reason for the correction is not clear or needs additional explanation, neatly include the 
details to justify the correction.

Data Management 
Investigators will enter the information required by the protocol into electronic Case Report 
Forms (eCRFs).   This study will use REDCap which allows web-based data entry, has edit 
checks, audit trails, controlled access, and undergoes frequent back-up.   
 
 
 
Data Security and Confidentiality 
All clinical data will be processed in a secure electronic environment that includes virus 
protection, and restricted access. Electronically stored data are subject to extensive security 
measures including virus detection, and restricted access.  Security measures in place for the 
database management system proposed for this study include: browser security, firewall 
protection, user name/password protection, user re-authentication, and inactivity time-out. 
 
 
 
Data Quality Assurance 
Quality control will take place at time of data entry (range, consistency checks) and will be 
ensured by oversight by the P.I. Before the enrollment of any subject in this study, designated 
study personnel will review with the investigator and personnel the following documents: 
protocol, Investigator’s Brochure, eCRFs and procedures for their completion, informed consent 
process, and the procedure for reporting SAEs.  Information recorded on the eCRFs will be 
verified against source documents and requests for clarification or correction may be made. After 
the eCRF data is entered, safety information will be reviewed for completeness, accuracy, and 
logical consistency. Computer programs that identify data inconsistencies may be used to help 
monitor the clinical study. If necessary, requests for clarification or correction will be sent to 
investigators. 
 
By signing the protocol, the Mayo Clinic agrees to be responsible for implementing and 
maintaining quality control and quality assurance systems with written standard operating 
procedures to ensure that studies are conducted and data are generated, documented, and 
reported in compliance with the protocol and accepted standards of Good Clinical Practice. 
 
 
 
Data Clarification Process 
Data queries generated by identification of incomplete or inconsistent data will be raised directly 
within the electronic eCRF and should be resolved by the study coordinator or PI in a timely 
manner. Corrections or changes in the data management system are tracked with the retention of 
the original data and the corrected data with the date of data entry and submitting personnel.

10 Study Monitoring, Auditing, and Inspecting 
10.1 Study Monitoring Plan 
 
The investigator will allocate adequate time for such monitoring activities.  The Investigator will 
also ensure that the monitor or other compliance or quality assurance reviewer is given access to 
all the study-related documents and study related facilities (e.g. pharmacy, diagnostic laboratory, 
etc.), and has adequate space to conduct the monitoring visit. 
 
Data and safety monitoring provides a clinical investigation with a system for appropriate 
oversight and attention to the protection of human subjects by the investigator, research team, or 
an independent reviewer. A Data and Safety Monitoring Plan is a quality assurance plan for a 
research study.  A written Data and Safety Monitoring Plan (DSMP) prospectively identifies and 
documents monitoring activities intended to protect the safety of the subjects, the validity of the 
data and the integrity of the research study. The DSMP may also identify when to terminate a 
subject’s participation (i.e. individual stopping rules) and/or the appropriate termination of a 
study (i.e. study stopping rules). 
10.2 Auditing and Inspecting 
The investigator will permit study-related monitoring, audits, and inspections by the IRB, the 
sponsor, and government regulatory agencies, of all study related documents (e.g. source 
documents, regulatory documents, data collection instruments, study data etc.).  The investigator 
will ensure the capability for inspections of applicable study-related facilities (e.g. pharmacy, 
diagnostic laboratory, etc.). 
 
Participation as an investigator in this study implies acceptance of potential inspection by 
government regulatory authorities and applicable compliance offices.
