Obinutuzumab trial for adolescents with active lupus kidney inflammation
Treatments studied
Part of Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests obinutuzumab, a targeted antibody medicine, in teens with active lupus nephritis (inflammation in the kidney). It looks at whether it helps kidney disease and is safe, including how the body handles the drug.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 12 to under 18, or (if recruitment is open) age 5 to under 12
- Your kidney lupus is active Class III or IV on a recent kidney biopsy (within the past 12 months)
- You may also have Class V along with Class III or IV, but isolated Class V alone is not enough
- You have a diagnosis of lupus (SLE) using the SLICC criteria
- Your urine protein is high enough at screening (UPCR above 0.5 from a first-morning urine sample)
- In the last 12 months, you received at least one dose of IV steroid to treat this active lupus kidney episode

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether adding LUPKYNIS (a drug that protects the kidney) to one of three immune-system medications helps people with lupus nephritis (lupus affecting the kidneys). The goal is to reduce protein in urine and protect kidney function.
This Phase 2 study tests VIB4920 to treat active lupus nephritis, a type of kidney disease caused by lupus. It may help reduce kidney inflammation and improve kidney outcomes in people with active disease despite standard care.
This trial tests whether adding the drug obinutuzumab to standard therapy (mycophenolate and steroids) helps control lupus-related kidney inflammation better than standard therapy alone. It might reduce kidney damage and improve outcomes for people with active lupus nephritis.
This trial tests a medication called obinutuzumab for people with lupus-related kidney disease, specifically a type called pure membranous nephropathy. The goal is to see if it helps reduce protein leaking into the urine and improves kidney health.
This trial tests whether adding standard oral steroid tablets to mycophenolate helps lupus nephritis (inflammation of the kidneys) more than using obinutuzumab plus mycophenolate, without extra oral steroids. It may help find a treatment plan that controls active kidney disease while changing how much steroid is used.
This Phase 2 study tests how well the medicine mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) works for children and teens with lupus nephritis that is “proliferative” (a specific biopsy type). You may qualify if your kidney biopsy and current treatment match the study’s targets and you can follow frequent visits and testing.
