简要总结
This was a prospective, randomized, multicenter clinical trial. Seventy-eight patients with primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) were randomly divided into intervention or control group. Intervention group was given rituximab combined with corticosteroids in induction therapy and the control group was given rituximab monotherapy. After 6 months, patients who had decreased 24h urinary protein by > 25% but did not achieve CR were given rituximab maintenance therapy. The complete response rate at 12 months was measured.

排除标准
- •Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus or type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with diabetic nephropathy. Patients with a recent history of steroid-induced diabetes were eligible if renal biopsies show no evidence of secondary diabetic nephropathy within 6 months before the screening period
- •Patients with secondary membranous nephropathy (such as hepatitis B and C, systemic lupus erythematosus, drug therapy, malignant tumors and other secondary causes);
- •Previous treatment with rituximab, steroids, alkylating agents, calcineurin inhibitors, synthetic ACTH, mycophenolate (MMF), and azathioprine;
- •Receipt of any other study medication (within the last month);
- •Suspected or known allergy or immune reaction to rituximab, corticosteroids or any of their components (including excipients);
- •Active infection, such as active hepatitis B or hepatitis C, tuberculosis (evidence of active tuberculosis infection within 1 year), or human immunodeficiency virus HIV infection (positive for anti-HIV antibodies), etc.
- •A history of immunodeficiency, including other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency diseases, or organ transplantation;
- •Females with a positive pregnancy screening test or lactating or planning to become pregnant in the next 24 months. Female or male patients who were unwilling to use contraceptive methods throughout the study;
- •A history of mental illness;
- •Laboratory tests that meet the following criteria need to be excluded:
- •(1) Hemoglobin<80g/L; (2) Platelet < 80×109/L; (3) Neutrophil <1.0×109/L; (4) Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or amino aminotransferase (ALT) > 2.5× upper limit of normal except in relation to the primary disease;
- •Very high-risk patients: presenting with life-threatening nephrotic syndrome, or unexplained rapid deterioration of renal function
- •Any patient judged by the investigator to be unsuitable for inclusion in the trial.
