Overview
Brief Summary
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ripertamab and its combination with tacrolimus in the initial treatment of MCD to provide a treatment regimen with higher remission rates, lower recurrence rates, and fewer side effects in patients with MCD.
Detailed Description
Minimal change disease is the third most common primary kidney disease in adults with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. The pathological features of the disease are no or only slight changes under light microscope, and the foot process fusion under electron microscope. The KDIGO guidelines recommend oral adequate doses of glucocorticoids as the initial treatment for adults with MCD. However, 48%-76% of patients relapse after tapering or gradual discontinuation of the drug, requiring a high cumulative dose of glucocorticoids. As the cumulative dose of glucocorticoids increases, the potential for side effects increases. In addition, 10% to 30% of patients frequently relapse, and 15% to 30% of these are steroid dependent. Therefore, the clinical goals for patients with MCD are to achieve early remission of proteinuria, reduce hormonal side effects, and more importantly, prevent the recurrence of proteinuria.
