Summary

This trial studies a drug to treat Lupus Nephritis in people who haven't responded to other treatments.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with Lupus Nephritis who have tried at least one standard treatment without success. They must have a specific type of kidney inflammation diagnosed by biopsy within the last year, protein in their urine, and kidneys that are still working moderately well. People can't join if they have very fast-worsening kidney disease, more than half of their kidney filters scarred, are on or will need dialysis soon, or had an organ transplant.
What is being tested?
The study is testing Felzartamab alongside usual treatments for Lupus Nephritis to see how safe it is and how well patients tolerate it. Participants will receive Felzartamab plus the standard care that's typically given for this condition.
What are the potential side effects?
While not specified here, similar drugs often cause side effects like reactions where the drug enters the body (infusion reactions), infections due to a weakened immune system, nausea, headaches and possibly allergic reactions.
