Clinical Trial Summary

The main objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of telitacicept in pediatric patients with frequently relapsing or steroid dependent nephrotic syndrome within the 52-week follow-up.


Clinical Trial Description

Nephrotic syndrome(NS) is the most common glomerular disease in children. Approximately 45-50% of patients with nephrotic syndrome exhibit frequent relapses or are dependent on steroid therapy. Frequent relapses or steroid dependence in nephrotic syndrome have been challenging issues for clinicians. Long-term, repeated, and high-dose oral steroid use can lead to side effects such as obesity, delayed development, hypertension, diabetes, glaucoma, osteoporosis, and increased susceptibility to infections. The addition of traditional immunosuppressants such as cyclophosphamide and tacrolimus can cause severe and irreversible side effects. Therefore, exploring new drugs and their application protocols is particularly important. Telitacicept has a unique dual-target mechanism that can inhibit B cell maturation and differentiation at multiple stages, thereby inhibiting B cell activity. Clinical studies have confirmed its significant efficacy in various kidney diseases, such as lupus nephritis, IgA nephropathy, and adult recurrent minimal change nephrotic syndrome; moreover, it has good safety profiles. Therefore, through this prospective, single-center, open-label clinical trial, we aim to evaluate whether telitacicept provides superior efficacy compared to existing conventional treatment regimens for childhood frequent relapse (FR) or steroid-dependent (SD) nephrotic syndrome (NS), and assess its safety profile. Our goal is to provide an optimized treatment plan for childhood FRNS or SDNS. ;
