azathioprine and Angiitis

azathioprine has been researched along with Angiitis in 120 studies

Azathioprine: An immunosuppressive agent used in combination with cyclophosphamide and hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985), this substance has been listed as a known carcinogen. (Merck Index, 11th ed)
azathioprine : A thiopurine that is 6-mercaptopurine in which the mercapto hydrogen is replaced by a 1-methyl-4-nitroimidazol-5-yl group. It is a prodrug for mercaptopurine and is used as an immunosuppressant, prescribed for the treatment of inflammatory conditions and after organ transplantation and also for treatment of Crohn's didease and MS.

Number of Major Relapses Defined as a BVAS/WG ≥ 3

The Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score for Wegener's Granulomatosis (BVAS/WG ) is a form with 34 predefined items grouped into 9 organ systems. The items are clinical features observed in patients with active ANCA vasculitis. Each item has a specified weight of either 3 or 1, depending on whether it reflects major or minor disease activity. The total BVAS/WG score is the weighted sum of individual manifestations that are present and believed to be due to active ANCA vasculitis. Higher scores reflect more active disease. BVAS/WG scores range from 0 to 64. (NCT02749292)

Health-related Quality of Life as Assessed by the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) Scores

The Short Form (36) Health Survey is a 36-item, patient-reported survey of patient health. The SF-36 is a measure of health status and is commonly used in health economics as a variable in the quality-adjusted life year calculation to determine the cost-effectiveness of a health treatment. The SF-36 consists of eight scaled scores, which are the weighted sums of the questions in their section. Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale. The lower the score the more disability. The higher the score the less disability i.e., a score of zero is equivalent to maximum disability and a score of 100 is equivalent to no disability. (NCT02749292)
Timeframe: Assessed throughout the study period, every 6 months unless such time point was not reached or was missed by the patient. Median follow-up period is of 4.1 years (IQR, 2.5 - 5.0)

Number of Patients With Disease Relapse(s) as Defined by a Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score for Wegner's Granulomatosis (BVAS/WG) ≥ 2

Relapses recording period was from 6/1/2016 to 12/31/2021. The outcome was reported as the number of participants with disease relapse who had either positive ANCA titers specific for myeloperoxidase (MPO-ANCA) or proteinase 3 (PR3-ANCA). The Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score for Wegener's Granulomatosis (BVAS/WG ) is a form with 34 predefined items grouped into 9 organ systems. The items are clinical features observed in patients with active ANCA vasculitis. Each item has a specified weight of either 3 or 1, depending on whether it reflects major or minor disease activity. The total BVAS/WG score is the weighted sum of individual manifestations that are present and believed to be due to active ANCA vasculitis. Higher scores reflect more active disease.

Organ Damage as Assessed by the Vasculitis Damage Index (VDI).

The Vasculitis Damage Index (VDI) is a validated formal assessment tool in ANCA-associated vasculitis clinical trials. The VDI distinguishes vasculitis-induced chronic damage from active inflammation or persistent disease. Each item represents a disease manifestation and is given a score (of 1) if present for at least 3 months. Neither the cause of damage (vasculitis vs treatment) nor an ongoing activity are taken into consideration. The VDI includes 64 items categorized into 11 groups (by organ system) and the scored items are summed to give a total score ranging from 0 to 64. A higher score means more accrued damage.

Relapse-free Survival

The primary efficacy outcome measure of the trial is relapse-free survival, where a relapse is either major or minor. The primary analysis will be a Cox regression model adjusted for the stratification factors (ANCA type, relapse severity and prednisone induction regimen) for the difference in the distribution of relapse-free survival between the rituximab arm and the azathioprine (control) arm (two-sided at α-level of 5%). (NCT01697267)
