Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Evaluation of disease remission

    Combined endpoint of complete (proteinuria \< 0.3 g/24-hours) or partial (proteinuria \<3 g/24-hours with \>50% change vs proteinuria at baseline that is the time of the first rituximab or other monoclonal antibody administration) remission

    Through study completion, an average of 6 months

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Evaluation of disease progression

    Through study completion, an average of 6 months

  • Rate of GFR decline

    Through study completion, an average of 6 months

  • Blood parameter levels

    Through study completion, an average of 6 months

  • Incidence of adverse events

    Through study completion, an average of 6 months

  • Incidence of drug related adverse events

    Through study completion, an average of 6 months

Eligibility Criteria

Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

The study will enrol all patients with a diagnosis of primary membranous nephropathy and the nephrotic syndrome (proteinuria \>3.5 g/24-h) treated with rituximab or other monoclonal antibodies (including, among others, ofatumumab, obinutuzumab, felzartamab).

You may qualify if:

  • Adults (≥18 years old) on the day of signing informed consent.
  • Diagnosis of primary membranous nephropathy
  • Nephrotic syndrome (proteinuria \>3.5 g/24 hours)
  • Written informed consent to the use of recorded data for research purposes.

You may not qualify if:

  • Legal incapacity or limited legal capacity.
  • Any contraindication to treatment with rituximab or other monoclonal antibody
