Early PLA2R Status in Severe Anti-PLA2R-mediated Membranous Nephropathy and Long Term Kidney Outcome. (EPSILON)
This is a multicentric retrospective observational cohort study. The aim of this study is to evaluate, during the initial phase of immunosuppressive treatment for severe PLA2R-positive membranous nephropathy, the independent association between anti-PLA2R antibody trajectories and the occurrence of long-term major kidney events (within 10 years after treatment initiation).
The secondary objectives are :
To assess the association between the initial anti-PLA2R antibody trajectory (between 0 and 6 ± 3 months after treatment, before any potential re-treatment) and the occurrence of nephrological remission.
To assess the association between the initial anti-PLA2R antibody trajectory (between 0 and 6 ± 3 months after treatment, before any potential re-treatment) and the occurrence of immunological remission.
To evaluate, in real-world practice, the safety of immunosuppressive therapies in the treatment of severe PLA2R-positive membranous nephropathy.

Detaillierte Beschreibung
Membranous nephropathy (MN) is the leading cause of nephrotic syndrome in non-diabetic Caucasian adults, with a highly variable disease course. One-third of patients achieve spontaneous remission, one-third develop chronic kidney disease, and another third progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This variability necessitates early risk assessment to prevent both overtreatment and disease progression.
Anti-PLA2R antibodies, detected in 60-65% of cases, are crucial for diagnosis and disease monitoring. High antibody levels are associated with a low likelihood of spontaneous remission, often justifying early immunosuppressive therapy. However, the precise predictive value and threshold levels of these antibodies remain unclear.
Among available immunosuppressive treatments, rituximab is favored for its efficacy and low toxicity, making it the standard therapy for MN. However, only 30-35% of patients achieve complete remission within two years, while two-thirds of those without complete remission remain at risk of progression to ESRD.
This variability in response to rituximab is likely influenced by several factors, including excessive urinary drug loss, immune resistance, genetic predispositions, and comorbidities such as obesity and vitamin D deficiency. Although personalized therapeutic approaches are under investigation, large-scale validation is needed.
In conclusion, despite significant advancements, particularly with anti-PLA2R antibodies and rituximab, multicenter studies are required to refine therapeutic strategies and improve long-term outcomes in anti-PLA2R+ MN by promoting a more personalized approach to treatment.
