New antibody drug aims to protect kidneys in PMN patients

NCT ID NCT06962800

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This Phase 3 study tests a new drug called felzartamab in 180 people with primary membranous nephropathy (PMN), a kidney disease where the body's immune system attacks the kidneys. Felzartamab is a lab-made antibody designed to stop that attack. The study compares felzartamab to the standard drug tacrolimus. The main goal is to see if more patients achieve complete remission (low urine protein and stable kidney function) after 104 weeks of treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
felzartamab (a lab-made antibody given by IV)
What this could lead to
If successful, felzartamab could offer a new treatment option for people with PMN, potentially reducing kidney damage and delaying or avoiding kidney failure.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 3 trial, but it's still experimental. Felzartamab may not work better than existing drugs, and side effects are possible. The study is not designed to cure PMN, only to control it.
