A Phase 3 Clinical Trial of CCX168 (Avacopan) in Patients With ANCA-Associated Vasculitis
brief summary
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of CCX168 (avacopan) to induce and sustain remission in patients with active anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV), when used in combination with cyclophosphamide followed by azathioprine, or in combination with rituximab.
detailed description
Complement 5a and its receptor C5aR (CD88) are involved in the pathogenesis of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis.
This is a randomized, double-blind, active-controlled Phase 3 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the orally-administered, selective C5aR inhibitor CCX168 (avacopan) in inducing and sustaining remission in patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) treated concomitantly with Rituximab or Cyclophosphamide/Azathioprine.
