Trial overview
The provided trial for Aminohippuric Acid was an interventional study in patients with membranous nephropathy.[1] The study was called the MONET study and was designed to evaluate rescue therapy in people who had failed anti-CD20 target therapy.[1]
The brief study summary says the goal was to evaluate whether the treatment could reduce or stop urinary protein loss in patients with nephrotic-range proteinuria.[1]
Who was studied
The target population was patients with membranous nephropathy who had nephrotic-range proteinuria.[1] The trial also focused on people who were resistant to or dependent on anti-CD20 antibodies, which means earlier treatment had not worked well enough or was still needed.[1]
This was a small study with 10 enrolled participants.[1] That size suggests the trial was meant to get an early look at treatment effect in a limited group.[1]
What was measured
The main outcome was the reduction in 24-hour urinary protein excretion at 12 months after the first administration compared with baseline.[1] Baseline means the starting point before treatment began.
The study also measured a composite endpoint, which is a combined result made from more than one sign of improvement.[1] In this trial, the combined endpoint included complete remission or partial remission of nephrotic syndrome at 12 months.[1]
Complete remission in the trial meant 24-hour urinary protein excretion below 0.3 g or a urinary protein to creatinine ratio below 300 mg/g, with serum albumin above 3.5 g/dL.[1] Partial remission meant 24-hour urinary protein excretion below 3.5 g or a urinary protein to creatinine ratio below 3500 mg/g, with at least a 50% reduction from baseline.[1]
Trial phase and size
The study was a Phase 2 trial.[1] Phase 2 trials usually look more closely at whether a treatment seems to work in the target disease, while also collecting more information in a small group of patients.
The study status was Completed.[1] This means the trial has finished and the results can be reviewed from the recorded data.
Key points for patients
The trial studied membranous nephropathy, a kidney disease that can cause heavy protein loss in urine.[1]
It focused on people whose disease had not responded well to anti-CD20 target therapy or who still depended on it.[1]
Researchers mainly looked at protein loss in urine and remission of nephrotic syndrome after 12 months.[1]
The trial was small, with 10 participants, and it was a Phase 2 study.[1]
