[VIRTUAL] Drug Discovery & Development in ANCA-Associated Vasculitis (Virtual Room 4) - Sep 21, 2021 - Abstract #ACRCONVERGENCE2021ACR_CONVERGENCE_2290; Faculty will focus on the relationship between biomarker discovery and randomized control trials with a particular emphasis on envisioning future clinical trials in AAV. Learning Objectives: Review whether candidate biomarkers in AAV predict treatment efficacy in related randomized controlled trials Discuss randomized controlled trial designs of the future in relationship to emerging candidate biomarkers and endotypes in AAV Summarize the findings from investigations of avacopan, an orally administered small-molecule C5a receptor antagonist, in AAV, and current data examining glucocorticoid-sparing approaches in AAV

Review, Journal, Adverse events: Strategies for effective treatment of ANCA-associated vasculitides with fewer side effects (Pubmed Central) - Sep 7, 2021 Rituximab and azathioprine are available options for maintenance of remission...New treatment approaches, such as the C5a receptor inhibitor avacopan could enable a minimized steroid treatment in the future...Supportive measures (e.g. vaccinations, infection prophylaxis, cardiovascular risk management) are increasing in importance. Future treatment strategies must take the individual risk (e.g. ANCA subtype, relapse risk) more into consideration for selection and duration of treatment.

Journal: New therapeutic strategies in lung vasculitis: Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, invited review. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 26, 2021 Significant advances have been made in the treatment strategy to both induce remission and maintain remission in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis. The choice should take into consideration efficacy, cost-effectiveness, safety profile, ease of use, and possibility of individual tailoring of treatment.

Review, Journal: Cortisone-free rheumatology-Vasculitides (Pubmed Central) - May 7, 2021 Avacopan could in the future be an efficient agent to spare GC in the phase of remission induction in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV), e.g. granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA). Mepolizumab is a promising option to reduce the use of GC in eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA).

[VIRTUAL] Avacopan, a highly selective small molecule inhibitor of c5a receptor, in patients with Hidradenitis Suppurativa: Initial results from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2 study (aurora) () - May 4, 2021 - Abstract #SID2021SID_879; P2 Avacopan also demonstrated a favorable safety profile in HS, with a lower incidence of treatment emergent adverse events (48.5% in avacopan groups vs. 55% with placebo), and serious adverse events (1.5% in the avacopan groups vs 2.3% in placebo). Avacopan’s use in a Hurley Stage III HS population warrants further investigation.

Taken together, clinical studies with cytokine and cell specific drugs are dissecting the heterogeneous immunopathogenic mechanisms of vasculitis and support a mechanistic immunological classification. Especially, cytokine antagonism is pointing towards immunological distinctions between eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis and granulomatosis with polyangiitis/microscopic polyangiitis and differences between giant cell arteritis and Takayasu arteritis.

Journal: Complement system and kidney (Pubmed Central) - Mar 3, 2021 As for kidney transplantation, complement modulators may lead to a new perspective in the treatment of some complications, such as humoral rejection. However, complement modulators carry the side effects, especially the infectious, and high costs.
