Study Summary

This trial will study if Obinutuzumab is safe and if it can help reduce the amount of protein in urine for people with proteinuria.

Who is the study for?
Adults with FSGS, a kidney disease causing protein loss in urine and low blood albumin levels. Participants must have tried other treatments without success or cannot take high-dose steroids. Excluded are those with genetic FSGS, infections like hepatitis or HIV, pregnant/breastfeeding women, severe anemia or low platelets, and recent recipients of certain drugs.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Obinutuzumab's ability to reduce proteinuria (protein in urine) for patients with primary FSGS. It aims to see if the drug can induce complete or partial remission of this condition.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions at the injection site, increased risk of infections due to immune system suppression, possible liver issues indicated by changes in blood tests results, fatigue and allergic reactions.
