FSGS
Clinical Trials
Researchers have found that in some patients when two markers in the urine are at higher levels, this can indicate that a protein called TNF is an component in causing FSGS and Minimal Change Disease to be active.
In this study, we are looking to see if a medication called Humira will block the TNF pathway, causing the levels of the two urine markers to decrease.
Who may be eligible?
-
Willing to give urine sample to evaluate TNF activation for screening
-
FSGS or Minimal Change Disease on biopsy
-
6-80 years of age
-
GFR > 30 ml/min
-
Urine protein ≥1.5 g/g creatinine at screening
