Nephrotic syndrome

This study tests a drug called daratumumab in 40 people with a rare kidney condition called PGNMID, where abnormal proteins damage the kidneys. Participants receive weekly injections for 8 weeks, then every two weeks for another 8 weeks. The goal is to see if the drug can reduce …

This phase 2 trial tests an experimental drug called SGB-9768 in adults with three related kidney diseases: IgA nephropathy, C3 glomerulopathy, and immune complex-mediated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. These conditions occur when the immune system deposits proteins in…

This trial tests whether rituximab, an infusion drug that calms certain immune cells, can help people with idiopathic membranous nephropathy and nephrotic syndrome. Participants receive either rituximab or a placebo, and the study tracks how many achieve a significant reduction i…

This was a planned early-stage trial to test whether anti-CD19 CAR-T cells could safely help children with multi-drug resistant nephrotic syndrome, a serious kidney condition. The study was withdrawn before any patients were enrolled, so no data on safety or effectiveness were co…

This study tests a new drug called obinutuzumab in 100 children aged 1-18 with refractory nephrotic syndrome, a kidney condition causing swelling and protein loss. The drug targets immune cells to reduce disease flares and dependence on steroids and other medications. Researchers…

This study tests whether a lower dose of the steroid prednisone can treat relapses of nephrotic syndrome in children as effectively as the standard dose. Fifty children aged 1 to 18 with active relapses will be randomly assigned to either the reduced-dose or standard-dose regimen…

This study tests the long-term safety and effectiveness of pegcetacoplan in 100 people with two rare kidney diseases, C3 glomerulopathy and IC-MPGN. Participants previously completed a one-year trial and saw benefit from the drug. The goal is to see if pegcetacoplan can keep redu…

This study tests a drug called obinutuzumab against a standard treatment (MMF) in children and young adults with a kidney condition that causes frequent relapses. The goal is to see if obinutuzumab can keep the disease in remission longer and reduce the need for steroids. About 8…

This program provides early access to pegcetacoplan for people aged 12 and older with C3 glomerulopathy or primary IC-MPGN, rare kidney diseases that can lead to kidney failure. Participants must have active disease with significant protein in their urine. The goal is to offer a …

This study aims to find the genetic causes of kidney diseases like FSGS and nephrotic syndrome. Researchers will collect saliva and urine samples from up to 2,050 participants, including patients and their family members, as well as healthy volunteers. The goal is to understand w…

This study looks at how often children with steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome have high calcium levels in their urine (hypercalciuria). Researchers will check 50 children aged 2 to 16 who are on steroid treatment. The goal is simply to find out how common this condition is, no…

This observational study compares two common blood tests—creatinine and cystatin C—to see which one better estimates actual kidney function in people with nephrotic syndrome. Researchers will use stored blood samples from 50 participants in three ongoing clinical trials. The goal…
