This is a randomized, parallel group, active-controlled, open-label, Phase III study comparing the efficacy and safety of obinutuzumab versus cyclophosphamide combined with glucocorticoids in patients with primary membranous nephropathy (pMN). Approximately 144 patients with pMN who have been diagnosed by biopsy or serum anti-PLA2R antibody will be enrolled. Intervention: Intravenous infusion of 1,000 mg obinutuzumab at weeks 0, 2, 24 and 26 Comparator: Cyclical cyclophosphamide and glucocorticoids Methylprednisolone 500 mg iv will be given for 3 consecutive days at the start of month 1,3,5 and followed by prednisone 0.5mg/kg/d (max 40 mg/d) for 27 days. Oral cyclophosphamide will be given for 30 days in month 2, 4, 6.

RECRUITINGThe proportion of patients who achieve overall remission (OR) (Complete remission [CR] or prtial remission[PR]) assessed by 24-hour urinary protein to creatinine ratio at Month 24
Collect 24-hour urine from patients in the 24th month and measure the 24-hour urinary protein to creatinine ratio (24-hour UPCR) to evaluate the proportion of patients achieving total response (OR) (complete response \[CR\] or partial response \[PR\]).
Time frame: Month 24
The proportion of patients who achieve overall remission (OR) (Complete remission [CR] or prtial remission[PR]) assessed by 24-hour urinary protein to creatinine ratio at Month 6
Collect 24-hour urine from patients in the 6th month and measure the 24-hour urinary protein to creatinine ratio (24-hour UPCR) to evaluate the proportion of patients achieving total response (OR) (complete response \[CR\] or partial response \[PR\]). * CR is defined as a urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) ≤0.3 g/g (24-hour urine). * PR is defined as reduction of urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) (24-hour urine) from baseline ≥ 50% ,plus ≤3.5 g/g but \>0.3 g/g.
