| ANCA Associated Vasculitis | Drug: Rituximab Drug: endoxan Drug: Methylprednisolone Drug: Prednisolone | Phase 3 |
Objectives: The primary objective is to prove that the combination of RTX and low-dose CYC reduces the number of RTX infusions needed to maintain clinical remission over 2 years. The secondary objectives are measurements for minimal residual auto-immunity (MRA) such as time to ANCA seronegativity, proportion of seronegativity, time to ANCA return, proportion of ANCA return, duration of B-cell depletion and the composition of the memory B-cell and plasma cell populations. Other secondary objectives are the potential association between MRA and disease flares, and the evaluation of (severe) adverse events, cost-effectiveness and quality of life Study design: open-label, multicenter, 1:1 randomized, prospective study Study population: Adult AAV patients with a clinical diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) or microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) who have 'generalised disease' and a positive ANCA-test for anti-PR3 or anti-MPO.
Intervention: In addition to standard of care corticosteroid therapy, AAV patients will be randomized to receive either standard induction therapy with 2 infusions of RTX 1000 mg or induction therapy combining 2 infusions of RTX 1000 mg with 6 infusions of low dose intravenous cyclophosphamide 500mg. Thereafter, as part of standard of care patients will receive tailored RTX re-treatment as maintenance therapy.
Main study parameters: AAV patients will be evaluated for the cumulative number of events for tailored RTX retreatments needed to maintain clinical remission over 2 years. Also, AAV patients will be evaluated for MRA by prospectively and consecutively studying ANCA levels and B-cell depletion by standard flowcytometry at predefined timepoints. Additionally, the study will perform safety and toxicity monitoring according to WHO toxicity criteria and evaluate the clinical response, the number of moderate and severe flares during study follow-up, the cost-effectiveness, and the quality of life of patients.

Active Comparator: Rituximab
Patients will be intravenously treated with Rituximab 1000mg (or biosimilar) in the first week and receive a 2nd dosage of 1000mg 14 days later. Before every infusion of Rituximab patients will receive intravenous methylprednisolone 100mg together with oral acetaminophen 1000 mg and and intravenous Tavegil 2 mg.

Drug: Rituximab
Patients will be intravenously treated with Rituximab 1000mg (or biosimilar) in the first week and receive a 2nd dosage of 1000mg 14 days later. Before every infusion of Rituximab patients will receive intravenous methylprednisolone 100mg together with oral acetaminophen 1000 mg and and intravenous Tavegil 2 mg. At any time during the study, a rituximab biosimilar is allowed as a substitute for the bio-originator rituximab.
Other Name: anti-cd20 Drug: Methylprednisolone Patients are given 1-3 pulses of 500mg methylprednisolone i.v. up to a maximum cumulative dose of 3000mg, taking into account any doses of intravenous methylprednisolone administered within 12 weeks prior to screening.
Other Name: solumedrol Drug: Prednisolone after intravenous pulse methylprednisolone, oral prednisolone will be given at a dose of 1mg/kg daily and tapered according to the recommendations

Active Comparator: Rituximab plus low-dose cyclophosphamide
5.1.2. Cyclophosphamide Patients will be intravenously treated with a total of 6 infusions of cyclophosphamide 500mg every 2 weeks. Before every infusion of cyclophosphamide patients will receive intravenous granisetron to prevent nausea.
