Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with biopsy-confirmed primary membranous nephropathy and specific proteinuria levels who have been on optimal supportive care.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with secondary causes of membranous nephropathy or severe renal disease may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of zanubrutinib in adults diagnosed with primary membranous nephropathy (PMN). In the first part, the study will measure the reduction of proteinuria in participants receiving zanubrutinib. The second part will compare the effectiveness of zanubrutinib against tacrolimus in achieving complete remission rates, with all participants receiving optimal supportive care.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve outcomes for patients with primary membranous nephropathy by reducing proteinuria and increasing remission rates.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar BTK inhibitors, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
