NCT ID NCT05201469

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding the experimental drug VIB4920 to standard lupus kidney treatments (mycophenolate mofetil and prednisone) can improve kidney function in people with active lupus nephritis. About 74 adults with lupus and kidney inflammation will receive either VIB4920 or a placebo, and researchers will measure how many achieve normal protein levels in urine and stable kidney function by 36 weeks. The goal is to find a more effective way to control this serious complication of lupus.
