Avacostar - (PASS)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The Avacostar PASS is a non-interventional, multi-national, prospective cohort study that will collect data from 2 cohorts of patients: those treated with avacopan for active severe AAV, and a second cohort treated with a cyclophosphamide or rituximab-based induction regimen without avacopan for active severe AAV. The overall study duration is anticipated to be up to 7 years, including a recruitment period of approximately 3 years.

Detailed Description
The Avacostar PASS is a non-interventional, multi-national, prospective cohort study that will collect data from 2 cohorts of patients: those treated with avacopan for active severe AAV, and a second cohort treated with a cyclophosphamide or rituximab-based induction regimen without avacopan for active severe AAV. The overall study duration is anticipated to be up to 7 years, including a recruitment period of approximately 3 years. Enrolled patients will be followed until the last patient last visit (LPLV) milestone, which will be 4 years after the last participant is enrolled.
Germany and the United Kingdom (UK) have been selected for the study. Additional countries may be considered according to availability of avacopan and suitability for the study. Patients will be enrolled prospectively, but up to 6 months of data may be collected retrospectively if necessary. Baseline visit is defined as the day that induction treatment (avacopan or non-avacopan standard of care (SoC) cyclophosphamide or rituximab) is started for active severe AAV. Patients who started avacopan/SoC induction therapy for active severe AAV within 6 months of the enrolment visit and fulfil eligibility criteria may be enrolled in the PASS. Individual participant follow-up data will be collected periodically at routine clinic visits until the LPLV, which will be 4 years after the last participant is enrolled.
The primary objective of the study is:
To evaluate the incidence of defined Medical Events of Special Interest (MESIs) in patients with AAV commencing avacopan.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Treated with avacopan for active AAV The study will enrol approximately 250 adult patients diagnosed with AAV (MPA or GPA) treated with avacopan for active severe AAV. |
|
| Treated with a cyclophosphamide or rituximab-based induction regimen without avacopan for active AAV The study will enrol approximately 250 adult patients diagnosed with AAV (MPA or GPA) treated with a cyclophosphamide or rituximab-based induction regimen without avacopan for active severe AAV. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- To evaluate the incidence of defined MESIs [7 years]
To evaluate the incidence of defined MESIs in patients with AAV commencing avacopan. MESIs include liver injury, cardiac safety, serious infection, and malignancy.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Incidence rates of AE in the avacopan and non-avacopan groups [7 years]
- AEs leading to discontinuation of therapy in the avacopan group [7 years]
- Incidence of SAEs in the avacopan and non-avacopan groups [7 years]
- Incidence of ADRs in the avacopan group [7 years]
- Incidence of SADRs in the avacopan group [7 years]
- Change in eGFR over time in the avacopan and non-avacopan groups [7 years]
- Change in IgG over time in the avacopan and non-avacopan groups [7 years]
- Change in CPK over time in the avacopan and non-avacopan groups [7 years]
- Change in ALT over time in the avacopan and non-avacopan groups [7 years]
- Change in AST over time in the avacopan and non-avacopan groups [7 years]
- Change in billirubin over time in the avacopan and non-avacopan groups [7 years]
- Change in WBC over time in the avacopan and non-avacopan groups [7 years]
- Change Albumin over time in the avacopan and non-avacopan groups [7 years]
- Time to first flare over time in the avacopan and non-avacopan groups [7 years]
A flare is defined in the BVAS as a score of more than 0. No flare is defined as a BVAS score equal to 0
- Change in VDI scores over time in the avacopan and non-avacopan groups [7 years]
- Incidence of MESIs in the non-avacopan group [7 years]
- Incidence rates of SAEs and MESIs in the avacopan group compared to the non-avacopan group, [7 years]
- Incidence rates of MESIs in the avacopan group compared to the non-avacopan group, [7 years]
- Use of concomitant immunosuppression over time and cumulative by treatment group, [7 years]
- Duration of GC-free periods [7 years]
- Proportion of GC-free patients over time by treatment group. [7 years]
- Duration of treatment with avacopan by reason for treatment discontinuation. [7 years]
