| ANCA-Associated Vasculitis | Drug: Avacopan Drug: Prednisone Drug: Cyclophosphamide Biological: Rituximab Drug: Azathioprine | Phase 3 |
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.
| Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
| Actual Enrollment : | 331 participants |
| Allocation: | Randomized |
| Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
| Masking: | Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor) |
| Masking Description: | This study was double-blind, double-dummy, i.e., placebo capsules were identical in appearance to the avacopan capsules, and prednisone capsules also had matching placebo capsules. To maintain the blind, multiple measures were taken (i.e., randomization code was not accessible to study personnel who had contact with study centers or who were involved in data management and analysis for the duration of the study). |

- Percentage of Subjects Achieving Disease Remission at Week 26 [ Time Frame: Week 26 ]
Disease remission at Week 26 was defined as:
- Achieving a BVAS of 0 as determined by the Adjudication Committee;
- No administration of glucocorticoids given for ANCA-associated vasculitis within 4 weeks prior to Week 26;
- No BVAS >0 during the 4 weeks prior to Week 26 (if collected for an unscheduled assessment).
- Percentage of Subjects Achieving Sustained Disease Remission at Week 52 [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]
Sustained remission at Week 52 was defined as:
- Disease remission at Week 26 as defined above;
- Disease remission at Week 52 defined as a BVAS of 0 at Week 52 as determined by the Adjudication Committee and no administration of glucocorticoids for treatment of ANCA-associated vasculitis within 4 weeks prior to Week 52;
- No disease relapse between Week 26 and Week 52 as determined by the Adjudication Committee.
- Subject Incidence of Treatment-emergent SAEs, AEs, and Withdrawals Due to AEs [ Time Frame: From day 1 throughout the study period (day 421/week 60) ]

- Glucocorticoid-induced Toxicity as Measured by Change From Baseline Over the First 26 Weeks in the GTI [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 13 and 26 ]
GTI-CWS=Glucocorticoid Toxicity Index Cumulative Worsening Score;
GTI-AIS=Glucocorticoid Toxicity Index Aggregate Improvement Score;
The Glucocorticoid Toxicity Index (GTI) was developed to score glucocorticoid toxicity. The GTI includes: the Cumulative Worsening Score (CWS) that captures cumulative toxicity, both permanent and transient, over the course of time (serves as a cumulative record of toxicity); and the Aggregate Improvement Score that captures both improvement and worsening of toxicity over time (serves as a record of both improving and worsening toxicity). Both scores range from 0 (best health) to 100 (worst health).

AC=Adjudication Committee; BVAS=Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score;
The BVAS form is divided into 9 organ-based systems, with each section including symptoms/signs that are typical of that particular organ involvement in systemic vasculitis. The clinician only scores features believed to be due to active vasculitis. Completion of the form provides a numerical score, which ranges from 0 (best health) to 63 (worst health).
- Change From Baseline Over 52 Weeks in Health-related Quality of Life as Measured by the Domains and Component Scores of the SF-36v2 and EQ-5D-5L VAS and Index [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 26 and 52 ]
SF-36v2: Measure of health- related quality of life (Medical Outcomes Survey Short Form-36 version 2)
EQ-5D-5L: EuroQuality of Life-5 Domains-5 Levels
The SF-36v2 component scores and the EQ-5D-5L VAS score range from 0 (worst health) to 100 (best health). The EQ-5D-5L Index Score ranges from 0 (worst health) to 1 (best health).
- Percentage of Subjects and Time to Experiencing a Relapse After Previously Achieving Remission at Week 26 in the Study [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]
The median time to relapse was not estimable because of small number of relapsed subjects.
A relapse was defined as occurrence of at least one major item in the BVAS, or three or more minor items in the BVAS, or one or two minor items in the BVAS recorded at two consecutive visits, after:
- having achieved remission at Week 26 (BVAS=0 and no glucocorticoids for ANCA-associated vasculitis within 4 weeks) or
- having achieved BVAS=0 at any time during the treatment period
