Main objective

Scope: Safety, Efficacy

To evaluate the efficacy of obinutuzumab compared with tacrolimus on the basis of the proportion of patients who achieve a complete remission (CR) at Week 104

Secondary objectives 5

  1. To evaluate the efficacy of obinutuzumab compared with tacrolimus on the basis of: achievement of an overall remission at Week 104; achievement of CR at Week 76; time to treatment failure, meeting escape criteria, or relapse after complete or partial remission; time to a sustained reduction of eGFR>=30% from baseline, mean change in T-score from baseline in the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Fatigue scale at Week 104; duration of CR; change in anti-PLA2R autoantibody titer from baseline to Week 52; mean change from baseline in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Global Assessment of Physical Health scale at Week 104
  2. To evaluate the safety of obinutuzumab compared with tacrolimus
  3. To characterize the pharmacodynamic effects of obinutuzumab in pMN patients
  4. To characterize the pharmacokinetics of obinutuzumab in the pMN population
  5. To evaluate the immune response to obinutuzumab

Study design 5 periods

#TitleAllocationBlindingRoles blindedArms
1 Screening
Consenting patients will enter a screening period of up to 28 days to be evaluated for eligibility. This screening period may be extended by up to 7 days to permit completion of subject eligibility assessment due to pending laboratory results. Procedures at screening will include collecting a medical history, a full physical examination, ECG, and blood and urine sampling.
Randomised Controlled None
2 Open-label treatment
At enrollment, patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive open-label treatment with either obinutuzumab or tacrolimus. The randomization will be stratified by region (North America [United States and Canada] and Europe vs. rest of world [ROW]) and by anti-PLA2R autoantibody titer (high titer [> 175 RU/mL] vs. non-high titer [< 175 RU/mL]). The open-label treatment period for patients will end after the Week 104 visit or if they start of escape therapy.
Randomised Controlled None Arm 1: Obinutuzumab: Patients assigned to the obinutuzumab arm will receive infusions of obinutuzumab 1000 mg at Week 0 (Day 1), Week 2, Week 24, and Week 26 (see Appendix 1 in the Protocol). Obinutuzumab infusions will be preceded by methylprednisolone 80 mg IV, oral or IV antihistamine, and analgesic to reduce the probability of infusion-related reactions (IRRs) (see Section 4.3 of the Protocol).
Arm 2: Tacrolimus: Patients assigned to tacrolimus will receive tacrolimus starting at an oral dose of 0.05 mg per kilogram (patient dry weight) per day, divided into two doses given at 12-hour intervals.
3 Escape Treatment Period
Patients who meet the escape criteria or who relapse during the open-label treatment period after Week 52 will follow the escape treatment plan (see Table 1 and Appendix 3 in the study protocol). The patient can only be eligible for escape treatment once. Patients who were treated with obinutuzumab in the escape treatment period and who failed to respond to that treatment will receive therapy according to the investigator’s best medical judgment.
Not Applicable None
4 Long-Term Follow-Up (LTFU) Period
Patients who complete the Week 104 assessments in the open-label treatment period will enter and remain in the LTFU period until the study achieves the common-close timepoint, as defined in Section 3.2 of the Protocol. In principle, consistent with established clinical guidance, patients will be observed and treated with a course of obinutuzumab per clinical evaluation. A course of obinutuzumab is defined as either one or two doses of 1000 mg IV given 2 weeks apart (as applicable). Repeat courses of obinutuzumab may be given but no sooner than 16 weeks from the last obinutuzumab infusion. Patients who achieve complete remission may not be treated with obinutuzumab in LTFU while still in complete remission.
Not Applicable None
5 Safety Follow-Up (SFU) Period
Patients may be eligible to enter the SFU period after completion of the LTFU or escape treatment periods (e.g., after common-close timepoint), or after early treatment discontinuation (see Section 4.6.1 of the Protocol), excepting those patients who discontinue the trial early (as defined in Section 4.6.2 of the Protocol). All SFU visits will follow the schedule of activities per Protocol Appendix 1, Appendix 2, or Appendix 3, as applicable
