Description

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of iptacopan compared to standard of care (SOC) to induce and maintain remission in study participants with active granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) or microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), when used in combination with rituximab (RTX) induction. The trial will also assess the impact of iptacopan on disease relapses, evolution of renal function and proteinuria, GC side effects, patients' immune status, and QoL.

Official Title

A Randomized, Controlled Study to Evaluate LNP023 (Iptacopan) in Patients With Active ANCA-associated Vasculitis

Details

This is a randomized, controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of iptacopan in combination with RTX induction therapy for the treatment of newly diagnosed or relapsed patients with active GPA or MPA.
