Participant gender:
All
Summary
This is a Phase Ib, open-label study of single and repeat doses of obinutuzumab administered as intravenous (IV) infusion in adults with end stage renal disease (ESRD). Participants will be enrolled into two cohorts receiving either one (Cohort 1) or two or more (Cohort 2) obinutuzumab infusions. Both cohorts will receive standard pretreatments to reduce the risk of infusion-related reactions (IRRs). Desensitization Period: In Cohort 1, participants will receive single dose obinutuzumab IV infusion on Day 1. Following review of Cohort 1 aggregated safety data up to 4 weeks post dose for the last participant of Cohort 1, Cohort 2 will be allowed to proceed. In Cohort 2, participants will receive obinutuzumab IV infusion on Days 1 and 15. Transplantation Period: Participants who qualify for transplantation and receive a compatible kidney offer after inclusion in Cohort 1 or Cohort 2 will receive two additional infusions (one at the time of transplantation and second at Week 24 post-transplantation) of obinutuzumab. Assessment of the safety and tolerability of the obinutuzumab regimen will be conducted at Week 24 of the desensitization phase and at Week 28 post-transplantation. All participants will be monitored for a minimum of 12 months following the last obinutuzumab infusion.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- United network for organ sharing (UNOS) listed for a deceased donor kidney
transplantation

- Estimated high likelihood of receiving an offer in the coming 12-18 months from
screening as evidenced by: present on at least one match run for a deceased donor
kidney during the past year, or calculated panel reactive antibody (cPRA) greater than
or equal to (≥) 98 percent (based on revisions to allocation policy introduced in
2014)

two adequate methods of contraception during the treatment period and for at least 18
months after the last dose of study drug

agreement to refrain from donating sperm during the treatment period and for at least
12 months after the last dose of study drug

Exclusion Criteria:

surgery prior to baseline and participants planned surgery within 24 weeks of baseline
except for kidney transplantation

- Positive serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) measured at screening unless
considered not clinically significant based on best medical judgement and if
reassessment after ≥48 hours shows a less than a 2-fold rise from previous level

- Participants with a history of prior kidney transplantation(s) after 6 participants
with prior kidney transplants will be enrolled in the study

- Participants on peritoneal dialysis with a history of peritoneal infection at any time
during the 12 weeks from prior to screening

on peritoneal fluid indicative of confirmed or suspected infection at the time of
screening.
