Official Title: Safety and Efficacy of Combination Acthar Gel and Tacrolimus in the Treatment of Steroid Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome
Brief Summary: The management of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) remains a persistent problem for investigators in part because of the wide array of pathogenic mechanisms that contribute to these disorders as well as the lack of adequately powered, controlled trials. While glucocorticoids remain the primary therapy for many forms of protein uric glomerular diseases, prolonged use is associated with significant morbidities including steroid induced diabetes, metabolic bone disease, and excessive weight gain.
