Study Summary

This trial looks at whether a drug can help people with LN achieve better kidney health over 52 weeks.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with active lupus nephritis, a kidney condition caused by systemic lupus erythematosus. Participants must have a BMI of ≥18, proper organ function, and confirmed diagnosis through biopsy within the last year. They should not have central nervous system SLE effects, transplants planned or done recently, certain infections like HIV or hepatitis B/C, intolerance to specific medications used in treatment (MMF/corticosteroids), other autoimmune conditions that could interfere with results, recent serious blood disorders or malignancies except some skin cancers.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness and safety of zetomipzomib at two doses (30 mg and 60 mg) versus a placebo over one year in achieving renal response in patients with active lupus nephritis. It aims to see if this drug can help manage kidney inflammation associated with lupus more effectively than no treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the side effects of zetomipzomib are not detailed here, similar drugs often cause immune system reactions, potential liver issues due to medication processing demands on the body's detoxification systems; gastrointestinal disturbances as common responses to foreign substances; fatigue from bodily resources being directed towards healing processes; and possible impact on blood cell counts.
