Summary
This trial tests a new drug, LNP023, against an existing one, rituximab, in patients with a kidney disease called membranous nephropathy who are at high risk of worsening. LNP023 targets immune system proteins, and rituximab reduces certain immune cells. Rituximab has been used for many years to treat idiopathic membranous nephropathy, showing effectiveness in inducing remission with fewer side effects compared to traditional immunosuppressive therapies.
