INShore Trial Summary

This trial tests a new drug's safety, effectiveness, and how it works in children and young adults with kidney disease.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and young adults aged 2-25 with frequently relapsing or steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome diagnosed before age 18. Participants must be in remission, have normal kidney function, and not have received certain treatments recently. They should agree to contraception if applicable and cannot join if they've had transplants, intolerances to study drugs, significant other diseases, active infections, immunodeficiencies including HIV, recent major surgery or cancer history within 5 years.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness and safety of obinutuzumab versus mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) in managing nephrotic syndrome that often relapses or depends on steroids. It's an open-label trial where everyone knows which treatment they're getting. The participants' response to treatment will also be measured through PK/PD assessments.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include allergic reactions to medication components like acetaminophen/paracetamol or diphenhydramine hydrochloride used during treatment administration. Obinutuzumab may cause infusion-related reactions while MMF can lead to gastrointestinal issues and increase infection risk.
