About this trial

The CONFUCIUS project aims to establish a personalised medicine framework for MN patients by integrating pharmacogenomics with other -omics technologies in order to identify biomarkers that predict response to RTX, ultimately enabling optimized treatment selection. Using a multiomics approach, we will analyse genetic variants, serum and kidney proteomics, and serum metabolomics profiles from a well-characterised retrospective cohort of MN patients to uncover predictive biomarkers of RTX response.

This is a non-pharmacological interventional study, conducted on biological samples from patients stored in the local biobank and on samples from healthy volunteers, which will be collected and subsequently stored in the biobank.
