Study of Salvage Therapy to Treat Patients With Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis
Salvage Therapy for Patients With Inadequate Response to Standard of Care Therapy in Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis
About This Trial
The purpose of this study is to identify the most promising therapeutic strategy for patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis and inadequate response to standard of care therapy. It will evaluate the efficacy to induce remission of three different salvage strategies including: a combination of rituximab with addition of a conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (either methotrexate, azathioprine or mycophenolate mofetil, but preferentially methotrexate); tocilizumab; or tofacitinib.
