Different Immunosuppressive Treatment in Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy: a Prospective Cohort

Обзор

The primary objective of this study is to compare the 24 month remission of different immunosuppressive therapies in the treatment of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (iMN)

Подробное описание

To date, the first-line immunosuppressive immunosuppressive therapy of iMN includes corticosteroids combined with cyclophosphamide or rituximab (RTX). In recent randomized trials (MENTOR, GEMRITUX), the long-term remission rate of RTX is about 60%, which is similar to the remission rate of cyclophosphamide combined with corticosteroids in early studies. But there is only one published randomized trial (STARMEN) comparing the efficacy of the two protocols head-to-head. In STRAMEN trial, the long-term remission rate of cyclophosphamide+corticosteroids group was 83%, which was significantly higher than the that (58%) of the tacrolimus-RTX group. But in STRAMEN trial, only one single dose of RTX was given which might influence the efficacy of the tacrolimus-RTX arm. Therefore, head-to-head comparison of RTX (more than one dose) and cyclophosphamide+corticosteroid is needed. The optimal dose of RTX in the treatment of iMN is unclear. In MENTOR trial, RTX was given 1g on D1 and D15, and the rate of complete remission at 6 month was 0, so RTX was repeated at 6 month. Based on the experience of our center, most patients need at least one repeated dose of RTX at 6 month.

Based on the previous rationale, the investigators designed this study to compare the efficacy of cyclophosphamide plus corticosteroids with RTX in the treatment of iMN.

Вмешательства

• Препарат Prednisone
  1mg/kg/d p.o.which will be tapered after 2 months and discontinued over a 6-12 month period.
• Препарат Cyclophosphamide
  1-2mg/kg/d p.o. with a target accumulated dose of 12g.
• Препарат Rituximab
  1000mg I.V. on D1 and at 6 month. After 6 month, in patients with response but not complete remission, Rituximab could be stopped or repeated with a 6 month-interval (12 month, 18 month, 24 month) until complete remission. Rituximab 1000mg I.V. will be repeated on the 15th day of each Rituximab infusion if CD19+ B cell count\>5/ul.
