Active clinical trials for "Glomerulonephritis"

The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of 12 months of oral ACH-0144471 (also known as danicopan and ALXN2040) in participants with C3G or IC-MPGN based on histologic scoring and proteinuria.

This is an open-label Phase 2 study evaluating the long term safety and tolerability of GFB-887 in patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and treatment-resistant minimal change disease (TR-MCD)

This study is evaluating the study drug (CDX-1135) in patients with dense deposit disease (DDD). The objective is to evaluate the safety and activity of repeated doses of CDX-1135 in pediatric and adult patients with DDD. After screening, eligible patients will be entered into the Induction Period. The Induction Period is up to 4 weeks. Following normalization of complement activity, patients will enter into the Maintenance Period.The total treatment duration is up to 26 weeks.

We have recently demonstrated that pentoxifylline (PTX) has the potential to treat severe glomerular inflammation in a rat model of accelerated anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) glomerulonephritis. This study aims to investigate the therapeutic effects of combined PTX and conventional immunosuppressive regimens on patients with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis.

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is a histologically defined glomerulonephritis (renal biopsy) by the presence of deposits immunoglobulin A (IgA) in the renal mesangium (at least 1+) by immunofluorescence. The clinic allows excluding secondary forms (10-15%). Recurrence of this condition on the renal graft is time-dependent and confirmed in 25 to 50% of 10 years post-transplant. The primary immunosuppressive induction regimens currently used in kidney transplantation are the anti-lymphocyte globulin (GAL) whose main target is human T lymphocytes (ATG, polyclonal) and monoclonal anti-CD25 antibodies (α chain of the interleukin receptor 2 in the surface of T lymphocytes). Due to their potent and prolonged immunosuppressive properties, the ATG may prevent or delay the recurrence on renal transplant. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of induction therapy (ATG versus Basiliximab) in the cumulative incidence at 5 years of (IgAN) recurrence after a first kidney transplant. This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, open trial with a follow-up period of 5 years old. Patients in the ATG arm will receive 5 antilymphocyte globulin infusions Fresenius® (rabbit immunoglobulin antilymphocyte human T-Fresenius® said ATG) from Day 0 to Day + 4 post-transplant (day 0 one dose of 4mg / kg, day 1 one dose of 4mg/kg, day2 one dose of 4mgkg, day 3 one dose of 3 m/kg and day 4 and one final dose of 3 mg/kg) and the patients in the anti-CD25 arm will receive 2 doses of 20 mg of basiliximab (Simulect®) pn day 0 and day 4 after the graft. The maintenance immunosuppressive therapy is left to the discretion of the center. The primary endpoint will be the clinical and histological recurrence of IgAN defined by the presence of mesangial deposits of IgA (at least 1) by immunofluorescence on a biopsy of the graft triggered by the onset of proteinuria 1g/j and/or microalbuminuria greater than 300 mg / day.

This is an open-label, multicentre study to characterize the safety and efficacy of the human anti-CD38 antibody MOR202 in adult subjects with in Anti-PLA2R Antibody Positive Membranous Nephropathy (newly diagnosed/relapsed/refractory)

This study will evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of low dose oral methylprednisolone compared to matching placebo, on a background of routine RAS inhibitor therapy, in preventing kidney events in patients with IgA nephropathy and features suggesting a high risk of progression.

The purpose of this study is to test in a pilot trial the efficacy and tolerance of sirolimus oral (at low doses) in patient to treat poor-prognosis IgA Nephropathy.

This is a 12-month phase 2, prospective, open label study to evaluate the effect of rituximab with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)on the PRA of 14 highly sensitized patients who just completed an 8 month trial of MMF treatment alone. PRA values obtained at study enrollment and at 6 and 12 months on combined therapy as well as the rates of transplant will be compared and evaluated using descriptive analysis.

The treatment period was 16 weeks, the initial dose, 5 mg, was unforcedly titrated to 10 mg, 20 mg and 40 mg after confirming tolerance at weeks 4, 8 and 12. The primary endpoint for efficacy was the change in the urinary protein/creatinine ratio from baseline to the end of treatment. The secondary endpoint was creatinine clearance (Ccr).
