Overview
For patients with active proliferative IgG4-RD, we plan to conduct a 52-week prospective randomized controlled trial to compare the efficacy and safety of 5mg lenalidomide plus prednisone, 10mg lenalidomide plus prednisone, and prednisone alone, so as to find new treatment measures for patients with proliferative IgG4-RD.
