Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy Treatment Market to Witness Significant Growth with R&D in Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy

Idiopathic membranous nephropathy is a glomerular disease that typically manifests abruptly and is associated with the nephrotic syndrome. Membranous nephropathy develops when the small blood arteries in the kidney (called glomeruli) that filter waste from the circulation become damaged and thickened. As a result, proteins leak into the urine from the injured blood vessels (proteinuria).

Idiopathic membranous nephropathy research and development is projected to contribute in the growth of the idiopathic membranous nephropathy therapy market. The study, 'Rituximab or Cyclosporine in the Treatment of Membranous Nephropathy,' published in July 2019, found that rituximab was as effective as cyclosporine in inducing complete or partial remission of proteinuria at 12 months and was superior in maintaining proteinuria remission for up to 24 months.

Medicines for the treatment of idiopathic membranous nephropathy are produced by the majority of significant manufacturers in the idiopathic membranous nephropathy therapy market. In individuals with mild to severe nephrolithiasis, recent clinical trials have indicated that drugs that work on the musculoskeletal system can provide quick relief of symptoms. The global, large-scale, commercialization of idiopathic membranous nephropathy therapy market is expected to benefit from continued research and development in this domain. In November 2019, Novartis Pharmaceuticals imitated a randomized study evaluating the efficacy and safety of LNP023 compared with rituximab in subjects with membranous nephropathy who are at high risk of disease progression defined on the basis of antibody anti-PLA2R titre and proteinuria.

R&D for novel medications is also driving the Asia Pacific idiopathic membranous nephropathy therapy market. In June 2018, Xinhua Hospital at Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine launched a random study to examine the rate of urine protein remission with tacrolimus monotherapy for idiopathic membranous nephropathy.ValenzaBio, a privately held biopharmaceutical firm exploring therapeutics for autoimmune and inflammatory illnesses, will begin a Phase 1b/2a, open-label, sequential-cohort, dose escalation, and dose expansion study in participants with primary membranous nephropathy in December 2020. VB119 is a humanised immunoglobin (Ig) G1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) that can be given intravenously at various points throughout the trial.
