Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria:
1. Must be between the ages of 16 and 65 years, inclusive

4. C4 must be >90% of the LLN
5. Female patients of childbearing potential must either agree to abstinence or to use two effective methods of contraception as defined in Section 5.5.5 from screening through 3 months after the last dose of ACH-0144471. Females who are of non-childbearing potential as defined in Section 5.5.5 need not employ a method of contraception.
6.

Males must agree to not donate sperm throughout the dosing period and for at least 3 months following the last dose of ACH-0144471.
7. Must be capable of providing written informed consent, must be willing and able to comply with the requirements and restrictions listed in the consent form and with the visit schedule, treatment plan, laboratory tests, pharmacokinetic sampling schedule, and other study procedures, and must be willing and able to return for all study visits
8. Must be up-to-date on routine vaccinations, or be willing to be brought up-to-date, based on local guidelines

Exclusion criteria:
1. History of a major organ transplant (e.g., heart, lung, kidney, liver) or hematopoietic stem cell/marrow transplant. Individuals receiving renal replacement therapy are also excluded
2. History or presence of any clinically relevant co-morbidities that would make the patient inappropriate for the study (for example, is likely to result in deterioration of the patient’s condition, affect the patient’s safety during the study, or confound the results of the study), in the opinion of the Principal Investigator
3. Evidence of monoclonal gammopathy of unclear significance (MGUS), infections,malignancy, autoimmune diseases, or other conditions to which C3 glomerulopathy or IC-MPGN may be secondary

7. Females who are pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant during the study or within 90 days of study drug administration, or patients with a female partner who is pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant during the study or within 90 days of study drug administration
8. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <45 mL/min/1.73 m2 at the time of screening or at any time over the preceding four-weeks
9. History of febrile illness, a body temperature >38°C, or other evidence of a clinically significant active infection, within 14 days prior to study drug administration
10. Patients with evidence of human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection (positive serology for HIV-1 antibody, positive hepatitis B surface antigen, or positive anti-HCV antibody at Screening or historically)
11. History of meningococcal infection, or a first-degree relative or household contact with a history of meningococcal infection
12. Contraindication to one or more of the required vaccinations
13. History of hypersensitivity reactions to commonly used antibacterial agents, including beta-lactams, penicillin, aminopenicillins, fluoroquinolones, cephalosporins, and carbapenems, which, in the opinion of the investigator and/or an appropriately qualified immunology or infectious disease expert, would make it difficult to properly provide either empiric antibiotic therapy or treat an active infection
14. Participation in a clinical study in which an investigational drug was given within 30 days, or within 5 half-lives of the investigational drug, whichever is longer, prior to study drug administration
15. Receipt of eculizumab at any dose or interval within the past 75 days prior to dosing
16. Use of tacrolimus or cyclosporine within 2 weeks of the first dose of ACH-0144471
17. 12-lead electrocardiogram with a QTcF >500 msec or findings which, in the opinion of the PI, could put the patient at undue risk
18. Any of the following laboratory abnormalities at screening:
• Alanine transaminase > ULN
• Aspartate aminotransferase > ULN
• Alkaline phosphatase > ULN
• Absolute neutrophil counts <1,000/µL
• Total bilirubin >1.5×
