Study on kidney damage in children and adults with MGLS or FSGS
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial collects medical data and blood/urine samples from patients with minimal change disease or focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) to better understand how the immune system damages kidney cells.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a first episode of nephrotic syndrome (sudden kidney damage causing high protein in urine and low protein in blood).
- For children: aged 1 to 18 years, weighing more than 10 kg. For adults: confirmed by a kidney biopsy showing minimal change disease or FSGS.
- You cannot have taken steroids or other immune-suppressing drugs before this episode.
- You must not have certain other causes for your kidney condition (like lupus, HIV, hepatitis, or certain medications).
- You must be covered by French national health insurance.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is testing a new treatment approach for people with certain kidney diseases called podocytopathies (like FSGS and MCD). It may help if you have active disease, even after a kidney transplant, or if you have another type of kidney inflammation.
This study looks for specific proteins (autoantibodies) in your blood that may be linked to certain kidney diseases. It aims to better understand the immune system's role in minimal change disease and FSGS, which could lead to better treatments.
This study tracks children with nephrotic syndrome whose kidney disease does not respond to usual treatments. It aims to collect information and samples to better understand resistant forms of the condition.
This study uses interviews to understand how swelling from nephrotic syndrome affects daily life for children and their caregivers. It may help researchers design better care by capturing the patient and parent perspective.
This study looks at children’s experiences and understanding of nephrotic syndrome using questionnaires. It aims to learn what helps families and children, which could improve care over time.
This study is for children (and some newly diagnosed patients) who have nephrotic syndrome—kidneys leaking a lot of protein. It aims to better understand the kidney condition (sometimes using biopsy) and support future care decisions.
