New shot aims to calm immune attack on kidneys
NCT ID NCT05668403
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing a new drug called B007, given as a shot under the skin, for people with primary membranous nephropathy — a kidney disease where the immune system attacks the kidneys. The study will include 52 adults and will focus on safety, how the drug moves through the body, and whether it shows any early signs of helping. Because it is a Phase 1 trial, the main goal is to find a safe dose, not yet to prove it works.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- B007 (a lab-made antibody that targets CD20 on immune cells)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for primary membranous nephropathy that is easier to take (as a shot under the skin).
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 52 people, focused on safety and dosing. It is too soon to know if the drug will actually help the disease, and there may be side effects from targeting immune cells.
