Assessing Residual Inflammation and Macrophage Presence in Lupus Nephritis After 3 Months of Intensified Treatment With Prednisolone, Mycofenolate Mofetil and Voclosporin as Compared to Mycofenolate Mofetil and Prednisolone

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how different treatments affect immune cells in the kidney in people with active lupus nephritis (LN), a kidney manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It will also investigate whether early changes in kidney tissue can predict long-term treatment response and whether blood or urine biomarkers can be used to monitor disease activity without the need for repeat kidney biopsies. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does adding voclosporin to standard treatment with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and prednisolone result in greater early improvement of kidney inflammation compared with MMF and prednisolone alone? * Are specific macrophage and monocyte populations associated with treatment response and long-term kidney outcomes? * Can blood- or urine-based biomarkers be identified that reflect kidney inflammation and treatment response? Researchers will compare MMF, prednisolone, and voclosporin (triple therapy) with MMF and prednisolone alone (dual therapy) to determine whether intensified treatment leads to faster and more complete immunological and histological remission. Participants with newly diagnosed or relapsing proliferative lupus nephritis will: * Be randomly assigned to receive either triple therapy (MMF, prednisolone, and voclosporin) or dual therapy (MMF and prednisolone). * Undergo a kidney biopsy before treatment starts and a repeat kidney biopsy after 3 months of treatment. * Provide blood and urine samples during follow-up for immune cell analyses and biomarker studies. * Complete patient-reported outcomes questionnaires * Attend regular study visits and clinical assessments for up to 2 years. In addition, participants with SLE without lupus nephritis and healthy volunteers will provide blood samples to allow comparison of circulating immune cell populations between groups.

Obinutuzumab for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Pure Membranous Nephropathy: a Phase II Trial

Lupus nephritis (LN) is a frequent and severe complication of systemic lupus erythematosus, with important mortality and morbidity. International 2024 guidelines recommend immunosuppressive therapy (MMF, cyclophosphamide, calcineurin inhibitors, rituximab, azathioprine) in patients with heavy or uncontrolled proteinuria, but none of these therapies has been evaluated in robust multicenter prospective. Therefore, no treatment has regulatory approval for pure class V LN. Obinutuzumab, a 2nd-generation B-cell targeting therapy, is more efficient than rituximab in inducing B-cell depletion and complete renal response in patient with class III or IV lupus nephritis. This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of an obinutuzumab monotherapy in patients with pure class V LN. The primary endpoint is complete renal response at week 52 according to 2024 KDIGO criteria (UPCR \< 0.5 g/g, eGFR ≥ 85% of baseline, and no intercurrent event: treatment failure, rescue therapy, long-term dialysis, renal transplantation, death or early trial withdrawal)

Biomarker Development for Autoimmune Disorders Involving the Kidneys

SILENT-LN is a prospective observational cohort study of adults with systemic lupus erythematosus, including participants with no renal involvement, suspected renal involvement, active lupus nephritis, previous lupus nephritis, or inactive lupus nephritis. The study will measure pre-specified blood and urine biomarkers longitudinally during routine clinical care. The study will evaluate whether blood and urine biomarker concentrations and biomarker panel scores are associated with active lupus nephritis, incident lupus nephritis, renal flare, treatment response, remission or inactive renal disease, kidney biopsy findings, and long-term renal outcomes. Participants will provide blood and urine samples during routine clinical follow-up visits and at visits where renal involvement is clinically suspected. Clinical data, standard laboratory tests, disease activity assessments, kidney function measures, treatment information, and kidney biopsy findings, when available, will be recorded. A predefined increase or persistent elevation in blood or urine biomarker levels will trigger a structured renal assessment, and kidney biopsy or re-biopsy may be performed if the integrated clinical assessment indicates suspected renal involvement, renal flare, or uncertainty regarding renal inflammatory activity and the procedure is considered safe and clinically appropriate. The study is currently conducted at Oslo University Hospital, Riks Hospital and may expand to additional centers following funding and regulatory approvals.
