Efficacy of Belimumab and Rituximab Compared to Rituximab Alone for the Treatment of Primary Membranous Nephropathy
Recruiting
This trial is a two-part study (Part A and Part B) of adults with primary membranous nephropathy, ages 18-75 inclusive. Part A is an open-label, PK phase to compare belimumab exposure between participants who have “low” proteinuria (≥ 4 to < 8 g/day) and “high” proteinuria (≥ 8 g/day) at Visit -1. Part B is a prospective, randomized, phase II, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trial in adults with primary MN. Part B will commence after the analysis of the PK data in Part A.
