Inclusion criteria

1. Patient is aged at least 12 years or older weighing at least 30 kg.

2. A biopsy has confirmed diagnosis of primary C3G or IC-MPGN or patient has a biopsy-proven histologic recurrence in posttransplant.

3. There is evidence of active renal disease, based on at least 1 g/day of proteinuria from 24-hour urine collection or uPCR ≥1 g/g from random urine in native kidney. There is no minimum level of proteinuria for post-transplant recurrence.

4. Patient has a limited response to treatment regimens for C3G/IC-MPGN, and may include:

   1. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, angiotensin receptor blocker, and/or sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor therapy
   2. Other medications that can affect proteinuria (eg, steroids, mycophenolate mofetil, and/or other immunosuppressants that the patient is receiving for treatment of C3G or IC-MPGN)

5. Patient has received vaccinations against S pneumoniae, N meningitidis (types A, C, W, Y, and B), and H influenzae (type B) as per the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendations for adults or children with complement deficiencies. Vaccination series should be initiated at least 14 days prior to enrollment. If patient disease is severe and requires immediate treatment, administer required vaccine as soon as possible and provide patients with 2 weeks of prophylactic antibiotics.

6. Female patients of childbearing potential, defined as any women who have experienced menarche and who are not permanently sterile or postmenopausal, must have negative blood pregnancy tests at screening (and negative urine pregnancy tests on day 1) and must agree to use protocol-defined methods of contraception from screening through at least 90 days after receiving the last dose of pegcetacoplan.

7. Patients above the legal age of consent, in accordance with local regulations, must be willing and able to provide informed consent. The legally authorized representative of patients under the legal age of consent must be willing and able to provide informed consent; where appropriate, patients under the legal age of consent must also give their assent to participation in the program.

2. Patient has current or prior diagnosis of HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C infection or positive serology during screening that is indicative of infection with any of these viruses.
3. Patient's body weight is greater than 100 kg at screening.
4. Patient has hypersensitivity to pegcetacoplan or to any of the excipients.
5. Patient has history of meningococcal disease.

9. Based on the investigator's opinion, the patient has significant glomerulosclerosis or interstitial fibrosis on kidney biopsy.
10. Patient is participating in any other investigational drug trial.
