Genentech- CA41705 - new study CDA
Brief description of study
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good or bad, of the study drug called obinutuzumab (also known as Gazyva or Gazyvaro) versus placebo on patients with lupus nephritis. Obinutuzumab is currently Food and DrugAdministration (FDA) approved for use for the treatment of blood cancers called chronic lymphocytic leukemia and follicular lymphoma and is being investigated for the treatment of other blood cancers. However, obinutuzumab is an experimental drug for lupus nephritis, which means the FDA has not approved obinutuzumab for the treatment of lupus nephritis. Roche is conducting this study to see if using obinutuzumab to reduce B cells will improve the signs and symptoms of lupus nephritis.
