Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with newly diagnosed or relapsing granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) or microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) who are PR3- or MPO-ANCA positive and meet the BVAS criteria, and for whom rituximab or cyclophosphamide would be considered, are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients with other primary systemic autoimmune diseases listed in the exclusion criteria (for example EGPA, SLE, IgA nephropathy) or those with severe pulmonary hemorrhage or other conditions that make them ineligible are unlikely to benefit from participation.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a phase 2 interventional trial in which eligible adults with newly diagnosed or relapsing ANCA-associated vasculitis will receive either tarperprumig or a placebo and be followed for safety and tolerability outcomes. Participants must be PR3-ANCA or MPO-ANCA positive and meet BVAS criteria for disease activity, and are those for whom rituximab or cyclophosphamide is being considered. Safety monitoring will include adverse event reporting and clinical assessments over the scheduled follow-up period. The trial is being conducted at research sites in and around Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, tarperprumig could become an additional treatment option that is safe and better tolerated for some patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis.

How similar studies have gone: While established therapies like rituximab and cyclophosphamide have proven effectiveness in ANCA vasculitis, tarperprumig is a novel investigational agent with limited prior clinical data in this condition.

Who can join: the full rules

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

* Newly diagnosed or relapsing ANCA-associated vasculitis, GPA and MPA subtypes consistent with the 2022 ACR/EULAR classification criteria for GPA and MPA for whom treatment with rituximab or cyclophosphamide is considered.
* Positive test for antibodies to either PR3-ANCA or MPO-ANCA at Screening or in the past by a quantitative assay (for example, ELISA, bead assay).
* At least one major item, or at least 3 minor items, or at least 2 renal items in the BVAS.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Other systemic diseases that, in the judgment of the Investigator, constitute the primary illness, including but not limited to: eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), systemic lupus erythematosus, IgA nephropathy and/or IgA associated vasculitis with or without Henoch-Schonlein purpura, rheumatoid vasculitis, Sjogren's syndrome, anti-GBM disease, cryoglobulinemic vasculitis, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, or mixed connective tissue disease.
* Alveolar hemorrhage requiring invasive pulmonary ventilation support at Screening.
* Any diseases or conditions that, in the judgment of the Investigator, present a substantial clinical risk to participate in this study.
* For patients with a previous diagnosis of CKD, patients known to have a stable eGFR for greater than 3 months prior to Screening and a decline less than 25% of previous eGFR at Screening will be excluded.
