Summary

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 85 participants aged 2 to 25 will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments.
