NCT ID NCT03949855
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 32 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding belimumab to rituximab works better than rituximab alone for people with membranous nephropathy, a kidney disease that causes protein leakage. About 58 adults will receive either the combo or rituximab alone, and researchers will check if their kidney function improves or stabilizes over two years. The goal is to find a treatment that controls the disease with fewer side effects, but it is not a cure since the immune system may still cause problems.
