About this study

Official title: Rituximab for Anti-neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies (ANCA)-Associated Vasculitis (RAVE) Long-Term Follow-Up Study

Rituximab is the first drug approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's granulomatosis) or microscopic polyangiitis. Because it is a relatively new medication, the long-term safety and efficacy of this drug is not yet clear. This study proposes to follow patients who were enrolled in the RAVE study to determine if treatment with rituximab influences long-term outcomes.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Long-term safety of rituximab for the treatment of ANCA-associated vasculitis

    To determine the long-term safety of rituximab for the treatment of ANCA-associated vasculitis (granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's granulomatosis) and microscopic polyangiitis).

    Measured: Four years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Disease activity

    Disease activity, assessed by the proportion of patients with severe flares

    Measured: Four years

  2. Disease damage assessed by the increase in Vasculitis Damage Index (VDI)

    The VDI is composed of 11 categories (e.g., musculoskeletal, pulmonary) and 64 individual damage items. The score ranges from 0 (no damage) to 64 (all individual damage items).

    Measured: Four years

  3. Disease damage assessed by the ANCA-Vasculitis Index of Damage (AVID)

    The AVID has 12 categories and 112 individual damage items. The score ranges from 0 (no damage) to 129 (all individual damage items). Although there are 112 items, 17 items are related to eyes and ears and can be scored for left, right or both.

    Measured: Four years

  4. Renal survival

    Renal survival, assessed by the proportion of patients doubling their serum creatinine, reaching Stage V Chronic Kidney Disease (defined as a glomerular filtration rate ≤15 ml/min), or both.

    Measured: Four years

  5. Malignancy

    Proportion of patients with incident malignancies, including type of malignancy

    Measured: Four years
