Outcomes

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
• New or previous clinical diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangiitis or microscopic polyangiitis consistent with the Chapel-Hill consensus definitions

AND

• Positive test for proteinase 3-ANCA or myeloperoxidase-ANCA

AND

* Severe vasculitis defined by at least one of the following:

1. Renal involvement characterized by both of the following:

* Renal biopsy demonstrating focal necrotizing glomerulonephritis or active urine sediment characterized by glomerular haematuria or red cell casts and proteinuria

AND
* eGFR <50 ml/min/1.73 m2
2. Pulmonary hemorrhage due to active vasculitis defined by:

* A compatible chest x-ray or CT scan (diffuse pulmonary infiltrates)

AND
* The absence of an alternative explanation for all pulmonary infiltrates (e.g. volume overload or pulmonary infection)

AND
3. At least one of the following:

* Evidence of alveolar hemorrhage on bronchoscopic examination or increasingly bloody returns with bronchoalveolar lavage
* Observed hemoptysis
* Unexplained anemia (<10 g/dL) or documented drop in hemoglobin >1 g/dL)
* Increased diffusing capacity of carbon dioxide
* Provision of informed consent by patient or a surrogate decision maker
Minimum age

No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
* A diagnosis of vasculitis other than granulomatosis with polyangiitis or microscopic polyangiitis
* Positive serum anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody test or renal biopsy demonstrating linear glomerular immunoglobulin deposition
* Receipt of dialysis for >21 days immediately prior to randomization or prior renal transplant
* Age <15 years
* Pregnancy at time of study entry
* Treatment with >1 IV dose of cyclophosphamide and/or >14 days of oral cyclophosphamide and/or >14 days of prednisone/prednisolone (>30 mg/day) and/or >1 dose of rituximab within the 28 days immediately prior to randomization
* A comorbidity that, in the opinion of the investigator, precludes the use of cyclophosphamide, glucocorticoids, or plasma exchange or absolutely mandates the use of plasma exchange
* Plasma exchange in 3 months prior to randomization
