DMX-200: DMX-200 (repagermanium) is a C-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2) inhibitor.
Placebo: Patients will receive 120 mg capsules of Placebo twice daily
Study summary
DMX-200 (repagermanium) is a C-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2) inhibitor that, when administered concurrently with an ARB, is designed to inhibit recruitment of monocytes implicated in the inflammatory chemokine environment of chronic disease. The purpose of this pivotal randomized double-blind study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of DMX-200 120 mg twice daily (BID) compared with placebo over a treatment period of 104 weeks in adult patients with FSGS who are being treated with an ARB. Given the rarity of the disease and the similarities between adults and pediatric patients with FSGS, Dimerix will also investigate the efficacy and safety of DMX 200 in adolescents aged 12 to 17 years. The double-blind period will be followed by an open-label extension (OLE) which aims to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of DMX 200 for up to 2 additional years.

9. Body weight ≥35 kg (all patients) AND a body mass index (BMI) ≤40 kg/m2 (patients ≥18 years of age) or between the 5th and 98th percentile for age and sex (patients \<18 years of age) at Screening.

1. Is not of childbearing potential
2. If of childbearing potential and beginning at menarche, agrees to use a highly effective method of contraception consistently during the treatment period.
11. A male patient with a female partner of childbearing potential is eligible to participate if he agrees to use acceptable contraception
12. A patient or parent/legal guardian (as appropriate) who is capable of giving signed informed consent, and where required, the patient is capable of providing assent.
Exclusion Criteria:

5. Active clinically significant hepatobiliary disease.
6. Documented history of heart failure (New York Heart Association Class III/IV) or a major adverse cardiac event within 12 weeks prior to Screening.

8. The patient has a history of alcohol or illicit drug use disorder within 1 year prior to Screening.
9. Had a prior organ transplant or stem cell transplant, with the exception of corneal transplant.
10. Positive screening assessment for viral hepatitis B surface antigen, or anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody AND positive HCV RNA, or human immunodeficiency virus 1 and 2.

14. History of serious side effects or allergic response to an angiotensin II antagonist or has a known sensitivity to any components in the IP.
15. Unable to swallow oral medication.
16. Prior participation in any Dimerix-sponsored DMX-200 clinical study.
17. Participation in a clinical study with an investigational product (IP) within 28 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to Screening or plans to participate in another study during the course of this study.
18. Are study site personnel directly affiliated with this study and their immediate families
OLE PERIOD
Inclusion Criteria:
1. A patient or parent/legal guardian (as appropriate) who is capable of giving signed informed consent, and where required, the patient is capable of providing assent.
2. Patients who have completed participation in the double-blind period, including the Week 104 visit, and who may derive benefit from (continued) treatment with DMX-200, and/or continued follow-up
3. The patient received blinded Investigational Product throughout the duration of the double-blind period up to the Week 104 visit
4. The patient continues to meet the contraceptive requirements
Exclusion Criteria:
1. The patient has met the criteria for permanent IP discontinuation or study discontinuation
2. Any safety concerns identified during the double-blind period which, in the Investigator's opinion, may interfere with the patient's continued participation during the OLE period.
Primary outcome measure(s)
Evaluate the efficacy of DMX-200 in terms of urine protein/creatinine ratio (PCR) in patients with FSGS who are receiving an ARB. — Baseline to Week 35 Percent change in urine PCR (based on 24-hour urine collection)
Evaluate the efficacy of DMX-200 in terms of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) slope in patients with FSGS who are receiving an ARB (Analysis at week 35 and Week 104). — Baseline to Week 104 Slope of eGFR
OLE - Assess the long-term safety and tolerability of open-label treatment with DMX-200 in patients with FSGS who are receiving an ARB. — Double-blind baseline to Week 216 Incidence and severity of treatment-related adverse events (AEs) and any adverse events of special interest (AESIs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) following long-term treatment with DMX-200.
