Text: After a median follow-up of 24 months (interquartile range, 15 to 25 months), there were 4 complete remissions and 8 partial remissions in group A versus 8 complete remissions and 6 partial remissions in group B. Median proteinuria decreased from protein of 5. 1 g/d (interquartile range, 4. 0 to 7. 3 g/d) to 2. 1 g/d (interquartile range, 0. 4 to 3. 8 g/d ; P = 0. 004) in group A and 6. 0 g/d (interquartile range, 4. 4 to 8. 5 g/d) to 0. 3 g/d (interquartile range, 0. 2 to 1. 9 g/d ; P = 0. 049) in group B. Two patients from each group interrupted treatment because of side effects or inefficacy.
