The Nobility Trial
The podcast discusses the Nobility trial, a phase 2 trial that explored the use of Obinituzumab, a B-cell targeting agent, in treating proliferative lupus nephritis. The trial added Obinituzumab or placebo to standard care therapy and followed patients for two years, allowing for a comprehensive assessment of the drug's effects on kidney function. Obinituzumab, a completely humanized molecule, demonstrated enhanced B-cell depleting ability and reduced reliance on complement-mediated cytotoxicity, making it a potential treatment option for lupus nephritis.
