evaluation). For patients with relapsed disease, a biopsy should be available within
the preceding 7 years.
- Proteinuria: Have clinically active disease (nephrotic range proteinuria) for at least
3 months prior to screening and no improvement (<30% reduction), despite supportive
therapy (which must include maximal tolerated doses of ACE inhibitor or ARB unless
contraindicated, and may include statins, diuretics, dietary salt restriction). During
screening proteinuria must be >400 mg/mmol by uPCR (or >4.0 g per 24 hrs) as measured
from a 24 hrs urine collection and/or spot urine sample (early morning where possible)
on 2 occasions at least 7 days apart.
- Proteinuria in patients with relapsed disease: Patients who previously achieved
proteinuria <2 g per 24h for at least 6 months and have subsequently relapsed with
proteinuria levels as documented above, may be eligible providing recurrence has been
within the previous 3 years and patient is known to be anti-PLA2R positive.
- Female Subject is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or nursing; is
non-childbearing potential. Females of child-bearing potential must agree to use one
of the approved contraception methods for an appropriate period of time (as determined
by the product label or investigator) prior to the start of dosing to sufficiently
minimise the risk of pregnancy at that point. Female subjects must agree to use
contraception until 16 weeks after the last dose.
- French subjects: In France, a subject will be eligible for inclusion in this study
only if either affiliated to or a beneficiary of a social security category.
- Inclusion Criteria for Long Term Follow-up: Subjects who have signed informed consent
for the Long Term Follow-up and have completed 2 years study treatment and the 16 week
follow-up visit, or who have withdrawn early from study treatment but completed the
Week 104 Withdrawn visit.

Summary
Brief summary
The main clinical study will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, long term
study involving a 100 week treatment period. The purpose of this study is to test for
superiority of treatment with belimumab 10 mg/kg plus supportive therapy compared to placebo
plus supportive therapy in idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN). The purpose of this study
is also to investigate the effect of initiating earlier treatment with belimumab compared to
delayed treatment with current immunosuppressive treatment regimens. The study will also
determine the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of belimumab and further explore the mechanism of
action of Belimumab as well as effects on quality of life. All subjects (on either active
treatment or placebo) will receive background supportive therapy throughout the main clinical
study, which includes angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and/or angiotensin
receptor blockers (ARBs) unless contraindicated and may include statins, diuretics, dietary
salt restriction but excludes immunosuppressants (except low dose corticosteroids). Screening
will be done within 5 to 2 weeks before the first scheduled dose of study treatment. A total
of 94 evaluable subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio such that 47 subjects receive
intravenous belimumab 10 mg/kg and 47 receive intravenous placebo. Subjects will be dosed on
Days 0, 14, 28 and then every 4 weeks through to, and including, Week 100, resulting in a
total of 27 doses (giving 104 weeks of drug exposure). The dosing frequency will be adjusted
to every 2 weeks if the subject's proteinuria as assessed by urinary protein creatinine ratio
(PCR) is greater than 1000mg/mmol (greater than 10 g/24 h), to compensate for loss of
belimumab in the urine. Subjects who are withdrawn from study treatment at any time during
the study, eg for rescue therapy, will participate in follow-up visits every 12 weeks up to
week 104. A subject will be regarded as having completed the main clinical study if they
complete all phases of the main clinical study (screening, treatment period, 4 week and 16
week post last dose short term safety follow-up). Subjects who complete the main clinical
study will therefore participate in the main clinical study for approximately 28 months.
After the main clinical study, there will be a 5 year (long term) follow-up phase to assess
long term outcomes.
