Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to identify the optimal maintenance therapy for granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) by comparing the MTX (standard regimen) with Tofacitinib in terms of efficacy, i.e. in preventing relapses.


Clinical Trial Description

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), a systemic small-vessel vasculitis, could involve multiple tissues and organs. Remission of GPA can be obtained in approximately 80% of the patients with a combination of corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide. However, relapses are frequent and remain a challenge. The optimal drug for maintenance treatment is not determined. Tofacitinib is a Jak inhibitor which has been proved to be effective in multiple inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. But the efficiency and safety of tofacitinib in treating GPA remains unclear yet. In the present randomized trial, the comparison of MTX (standard regimen) with Tofacitinib in terms of efficacy, i.e. in preventing relapses will be conducted. ;
