Active clinical trials for "Glomerulonephritis, Membranoproliferative"

The purpose of this study is to see if a medicine called Sulodexide will help prevent or slow down the progression of Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis type II/Dense Deposit Disease. Sulodexide is not yet FDA approved and has not been studied in children. Study aim/hypotheses: to measure the efficacy of Sulodexide treatment in patients with the above disease/s.

Type I membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is a relatively uncommon glomerular disease, constituting 1.8% of renal biopsies performed in Rochester, minnesota, United States of America, at the Mayo Clinic, between 1993 and 2008. The prognosis of idiopathic Type I MPGN is relatively poor. Recently, Irish series, slightly more than 50% of patients developed end stage renal disease after a mean follow up of 14 years . The disease may recur after renal transplantation . High-dose glucocorticoids have been used to treat this disease in children but there is no established treatment in adults.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of OMS721 (narsoplimab) in subjects with Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN), Lupus Nephritis (LN), Membranous Nephropathy (MN), and Complement Component 3 (C3) Glomerulopathy including Dense Deposit Disease. The study will also evaluate Pharmacokinetics (PK), Pharmacodynamics (PD), anti-drug antibody response (ADA), and neutralizing antibodies (NAb) of OMS721 when administered intravenously and when administered both intravenously and subcutaneously in subjects of Asian descent with IgA Nephropathy.
