Plain-language summary
The primary objectives of this study are: In Part 1 to evaluate the efficacy of zanubrutinib as measured by proteinuria reduction, and in Part 2 to evaluate the efficacy of zanubrutinib compared with tacrolimus as measured by complete remission rate, in participants with primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) who are on optimal supportive care.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Biopsy-confirmed PMN within 5 years before the initial screening (ie, the day the informed consent is signed)
* UPCR (based on 24-hour urine collection) \> 3.5 at initial screening and at confirmation assessment
* Treatment with a maximally tolerated or allowed dose of an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) for ≥ 24 weeks before randomization (12 weeks before initiation of study drug for Part 1) and with adequate blood pressure control (blood pressure \< 130/80 mmHg, measured on ≥ 2 occasions \[not on the same day\] within 4 weeks before the assignment of study treatment)
* Anti-PLA2R antibody \> 50 RU/mL at confirmation assessment (Part 1 only)
Exclusion Criteria:
* Participants with a secondary cause of membranous nephropathy
* Type 1 or 2 diabetes mellitus with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≥ 7% at screening
* Severe renal disease as determined by rapid decline in eGFR (defined as \> 15 mL/min/1.73m\^2 within 24 weeks prior to randomization, not otherwise explained)
* A known history of a primary immunodeficiency or an underlying condition such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or splenectomy that predisposes the participant to infections
* Patients at risk for tuberculosis at screening
* Known infection with serologic status reflecting active or chronic hepatitis B virus infection, or presence of hepatitis C virus antibody
* Severe hepatic insufficiency (Child-Pugh C)
* Clinically signific…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
