Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is to determine whether plasma exchange as well as immunosuppressive therapy are effective in reducing death and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The trial will also study whether a reduced cumulative dosing regimen of glucocorticoids is as effective as a standard disease regimen.

Key inclusion criteria

1. New or previous clinical diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangiitis or microscopic polyangiitis consistent with the Chapel-Hill consensus definitions

AND

2. Positive test, at any point in the subject's course, by ELISA, for proteinase 3-ANCA or myeloperoxidase-ANCA

AND

3. Severe vasculitis defined by at least one of the following:

a. Renal involvement with both:

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

AND

ii. eGFR <50 ml/min/1.73 m2

b. Pulmonary hemorrhage due to active vasculitis defined by:

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

AND

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

AND

iii. At least one of the following:

1)Evidence of alveolar hemorrhage on bronchoscopic examination or increasingly bloody returns with bronchoalveolar lavage

2)Observed hemoptysis

3)Unexplained anemia (<10 g/dL) or documented drop in hemoglobin >1 g/dL)

4)Increased diffusing capacity of carbon dioxide

4. Provision of informed consent by patient or a surrogate decision maker

Key exclusion criteria

1. A diagnosis of vasculitis other than granulomatosis with polyangiitis or microscopic polyangiitis

2. Positive anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody test or renal biopsy demonstrating linear glomerular immunoglobulin deposition

3. Receipt of dialysis for >21 days immediately prior to randomization or prior renal transplant

4. Age <18 years

5. Pregnancy/Inability or unwillingness to comply with birth control

6. 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

7. A comorbidity or condition that, in the opinion of the investigator,precludes the use of cyclophosphamide/rituximab, glucocorticoids, or plasma exchange or absolutely mandates the use of plasma
exchange

8. Plasma exchange in 3 months prior to randomization
