* Primary MN: PLA2R positive titer plus nephrotic range proteinuria (defined as uPCR \>2350 mg/g)
* C3G plus one of the following: Low serum C3 level or historical renal biopsy within the last 3 years
Have proteinuria \>750 mg/g (calculated by uPCR on 24 hour urine collection) collected during the first screening visit (Visit 3a).
eGFR≥30mL/min/1.73 m2 calculated by CKD-EPI creatinine equation at screening visit 3a and currently not on dialysis
Must have stable or worsening renal disease, on stable and optimized treatment, in the opinion of the PI, for at least 2 months prior to the first dose of APL-2 (Visit 4); treatments may include, but are not limited to, immunosuppressive agents, anti-hypertensives and/or anti-proteinurics.
