Iptacopan in Patients With ANCA Associated Vasculitis

Study Purpose

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.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Interventional
Eligible Ages	18 Years and Over
Gender	All

- Positive antibody test for anti-proteinase 3 (PR3) or anti-myeloperoxidase (MPO) antibodies at Screening or with history of documented evidence of a positive antibody test.

Exclusion Criteria:

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT06388941
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.	Phase 2
