This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of obinutuzumab compared with tacrolimus in participants with primary membranous nephropathy (pMN).
Open Label: An intravenous (IV) infusion of 1000 milligram (mg) of obinutuzumab will be administered at Week 0, Week 2, Week 24, and Week 26. Participants who relapse during the open-label treatment period may be eligible for further treatment.
Open Label: Participants will receive tacrolimus at a starting oral dose (PO) of 0.05 mg/kilogram (kg) (participant dry weight) per day divided into two equal doses given at 12-hour intervals, titrated to serum trough level 5-7 Nanograms per millilitre (ng/mL). Optimized tacrolimus dose will be maintained for a maximum 52 weeks dependent on response and then tapered over 8 weeks. Participants who relapse during the open-label treatment period will have their dose of tacrolimus tapered over 8 weeks and may be eligible for further treatment.
Premedication: Methylprednisolone 80 mg IV will be administered between 30 and 60 minutes prior to the obinutuzumab infusion in all study periods.
Premedication: Acetaminophen (650-1000 mg, or equivalent dose of a similar agent) PO or IV will be administered between 30 and 60 minutes prior to the obinutuzumab infusion in all study periods.
Premedication: Diphenhydramine (50 mg, or equivalent dose of a similar agent) PO or IV will be administered between 30 and 60 minutes prior to the obinutuzumab infusion in all study periods.
