Comparison of ANCA and Anti-GBM Auto-antibodies Removal Kinetics Between Plasma Exchanges and Immunoadsorption...

Kidney FailureAcute

Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA), directed against myeloperoxidase (MPO) and against proteinase 3 (PR3), have a pathogenic role during ANCA (AAV) vasculitis. Glomerular basement membrane (MBG) antibodies also have a direct pathogenic role in Goodpasture's syndrome and anti-MBG antibody glomerulonephritis (GN). In some patients, the severity of renal and / or pulmonary involvement justifies the rapid purification of these autoantibodies by an apheresis procedure, while waiting for the effect of immunosuppressive treatments aimed at reducing their production. During vasculitis, plasma exchange (PE) is recommended in patients with severe renal impairment or intra-alveolar hemorrhage (2012 KDIGO Clinical Practice Guideline for Glomerulonephritis). Given certain disadvantages related to plasma exchanges (low volume of purified plasma, non-selective technique for immunoglobulins (Ig), need for replacement solute, induction of coagulation disorders), immunoadsorption (IA), already used in transplantation, has been developed in these indications. IA has indeed greater selectivity for Ig with a probable better purification capacity due to higher volumes of plasma treated per session. The price of IA is however higher than that of EP. These two apheresis techniques, EP and IA, are commonly used in France during severe forms of vasculitis ANCA or anti-MBG, without the superiority of one or the other has been demonstrated. As a result of higher plasma volumes being purified, AI may allow faster purification of pathogenic antibodies. No studies to date have specifically compared the purification kinetics of these antibodies between EP and IA. The CINEVAS study (VAScularite Antibody Purification CINetic) is a multicentric pilot study whose main objective is to compare the purification kinetics of ANCA (anti-MPO or anti-PR3) and / or anti- MBG in patients treated with EP versus those treated with IA

Exploring Durable Remission With Rituximab in Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody(ANCA)-Associated...

ANCA Associated Vasculitis

Most recent insights in the treatment for patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) have demonstrated that 'tailored' maintenance treatment with rituximab (RTX) is effective to achieve durable remission of disease. As such, RTX re-treatment can be tailored on the basis of relevant clinical and immunological parameters in AAV patients. Now, the present study intends to evaluate whether combining rituximab with cyclophosphamide is superior to current standard of care with rituximab only to induce a favorable clinical and immunological state in AAV patients and can thereby reduce the number of tailored re-treatments with rituximab.

ETA and AT1 Antagonism in ANCA-vasculitis (SPARVASC)

ANCA Associated VasculitisCardiovascular Diseases1 more

ANCA-associated vasculitis is an autoimmune disease that causes damage to blood vessels. This leads to organ damage with the number of organs affected and the severity of damage varying significantly between patients. Vasculitis patients also have a very high risk of heart attacks and strokes, called cardiovascular disease. A chemical called 'endothelin', produced by the blood vessels, causes vessels to stiffen and raises blood pressure and this associates with cardiovascular risk. The investigators have previously shown that by blocking the effects of endothelin you reduce vessel stiffness, lower blood pressure and improve vessel function. However, these studies only blocked endothelin for a few hours. Now, the investigators would like to see if it is possible to maintain these benefits by blocking endothelin for longer. Sparsentan is a tablet that blocks endothelin and lowers blood pressure. The investigators plan to give sparsentan to patients with vasculitis for 6 weeks. To determine if any beneficial effects of sparsentan are due to blood pressure lowering the investigators will give another group of vasculitis patients a tablet called irbesartan which lowers blood pressure but does not block endothelin. The investigators will compare the results between the two groups.

Hydroxychloroquine in ANCA Vasculitis Evaluation

ANCA Associated VasculitisMicroscopic Polyangiitis2 more

The purpose of this study is to find out whether hydroxychloroquine, in addition to background treatments, reduces disease activity in patients with Anti-Neutrophilic Cytoplasmic Autoantibodies (ANCA) Vasculitis, a group of autoimmune diseases. Hydroxychloroquine and is an established, effective, safe and inexpensive therapy, widely used in other autoimmune diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. The study is open to adults diagnosed with certain types of vasculitis, called Granulomatosis Polyangiitis (GPA), Microscopic Polyangiitis (MPA) or Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA). Participants will be eligible if they are treated with background medication to control their vasculitis disease and have a low level of disease activity as defined by a Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS) of greater than 3. Participants will be randomly placed in 1 of 2 groups. Both groups will be given background medication. One group will receive hydroxychloroquine and the other will receive placebo. Participants will be on treatment for 1 year. 76 ANCA Vasculitis participants will be recruited (38 in each treatment arm) from UK vasculitis specialist centres.
