The treatment of adult refractory idiopathic membranous nephropathy with steroid and other immunosuppressant-resistant nephrotic syndromes can be a significant challenge. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of the traditional Chinese medicine Jian Pi Qu Shi Formula (JPQSF) as a promising regimen. We analyzed 15 consecutive patients with biopsy-proven idiopathic membranous nephropathy who failed immunosuppressive therapy from October 2013 to January 2017. JPQSF was administered orally two times per day, respectively, in the morning and at night for 6 months. All patients had at least 1 year of follow-up. The primary endpoints included complete or partial remission. Secondary endpoints included change of clinical parameters and adverse events after 12 months of treatment. After 12 months, complete remission was achieved in 13.3% of patients and partial remission in 66.7%, yielding a response rate of 80%. Proteinuria, serum albumin, and cholesterol were improved significantly (P<0.001, P<0.001, and P<0.05, respectively). After 1 year of treatment, proteinuria (mean ± SD) decreased from 5.93 ± 2.54 g per 24 h to 1.99 ± 1.17 g per 24 h (P<0.001). No serious adverse events occurred during the observation. JPQSF may be an alternative therapeutic option for steroid and general immunosuppressant-resistant membranous nephrotic syndrome patients, with a favorable safety profile. Larger and longer follow-up studies evaluating this regimen are warranted.
