Abstract:This retrospective analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of Telitacicept in 10 patients with glomerulonephritis over a mean follow-up of two years. Treatment with Telitacicept was associated with a significant reduction in proteinuria, which decreased by 48.5% at 2 months and 72.5% at 5 months. A proteinuria reduction of more than 40% was achieved in half of the patients. Renal function, assessed by eGFR, remained stable throughout the observation period. Adverse events were generally mild, with rash being the most common (40%). These findings suggest that Telitacicept is a promising treatment option for glomerulonephritis, offering substantial antiproteinuric effects without compromising renal function.

Document:​​Observation on the Efficacy of Telitacicept in Treating 10 Cases of Glomerulonephritis​​

Objective:​​ To observe the efficacy and safety of Telitacicept in treating patients with glomerulonephritis.​

Methods:​​ This study retrospectively reviewed 10 patients with glomerulonephritis who were treated with Telitacicept following renal biopsy at our hospital. All patients were followed for a period of two years

​​Baseline characteristics:​​ including age, gender, body mass index (BMI), comorbidities (e.g., hypertension and diabetes), and renal pathological findings.Clinical and laboratory parameters:​​ assessed at baseline and during each follow-up visit. These included blood pressure, proteinuria, urinary red blood cell count, serum albumin, serum creatinine, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).Concomitant medications:​​ use of glucocorticoids, other immunosuppressive agents, renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi), and SGLT2 inhibitors. The initial dosage and any subsequent adjustments of Telitacicept were also documented.Adverse events:​​ all observed or patient-reported adverse reactions were recorded throughout the treatment and follow-up period.

Results:​​

1)The study cohort comprised 10 patients, including 8 cases of IgA nephropathy, 1 case of Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis, and 1 case of mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis. The mean age was 45.1 years, 50% of the patients were male, and the mean BMI was 26.7 kg/m². At baseline, median proteinuria was 2.0 [IQR 1.0–3.9] g/d, and median eGFR was 84.6 [IQR 44.8–117.8] mL/min/1.73 m². All patients (100%) initially received Telitacicept 160 mg weekly. Concomitant medications included hormone therapy (60.0%), mycophenolate mofetil (MMF, 20.0%), hydroxychloroquine (30.0%), renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RASI, 40.0%), and SGLT-2 inhibitors (20.0%). No patient received Tripterygium wilfordii.

2)Telitacicept medication and dose reduction

A significant reduction in proteinuria was observed from the 2-month follow-up onward. At 2 months, proteinuria decreased from a median of 1.5 [IQR 0.7–2.1] g/day to 0.7 [0.3–1.3] g/day, representing a median reduction of 48.5% [IQR 10.0–58.5]. By 5 months, among the 4 patients with available data, proteinuria declined from 1.3 [0.8–1.9] g/day to 0.3 [0.1–0.6] g/day, corresponding to a median reduction of 72.5% [57.8–83.8]. One patient assessed at 14 months exhibited a decrease in proteinuria from 0.38 g/day to 0.11 g/day (71.0% reduction). eGFR remained stable throughout the study, with no significant differences between baseline and follow-up visits (baseline: 84.6 [44.8–117.8] mL/min/1.73m²; 2 months: 83.0 [45.2–101.1] mL/min/1.73m²; 5 months: 85.7 [68.6–94.4] mL/min/1.73m²).

Over the entire treatment period, the median absolute reduction in proteinuria was 0.5 [0.1–1.0] g/day, equivalent to a median relative reduction of 44.0% [10.0–73.6]. Half of the patients (50.0%) achieved a proteinuria reduction exceeding 40%. Moreover, proteinuria was reduced to below 0.5 g/day in 40% of patients and to below 1.0 g/day in 50% of patients.

4 patients experienced local skin redness at the injection site; 3 patients developed abdominal rash; 1 patient developed a rash on the upper limb.    

​​Conclusion:​​

This retrospective study demonstrates that Telitacicept significantly reduces proteinuria in patients with glomerulonephritis, with clinically meaningful reductions observed as early as 2 months after treatment initiation and further improvement over time. Renal function remained stable throughout the 2-year follow-up period, indicating no adverse impact on eGFR. Telitacicept exhibited a favorable safety profile, characterized primarily by mild injection-site reactions and rash, with no serious adverse events reported. These findings support Telitacicept as a promising and well-tolerated therapeutic option for the management of glomerulonephritis.
