The aim of this trial is to optimize the treatment to induce remission for patients with non-life-threatening anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody vasculitis (AAV). The intent is to reduce the toxicity of induction therapy by reducing the overall exposure to or eliminating entirely the use of systemic corticosteroids during the induction period with an inhibitor of the complement C5a receptor plus cyclophosphamide or rituximab.

The primary safety objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CCX168 in subjects with AAV on background cyclophosphamide or rituximab treatment.

The primary efficacy objective is to evaluate the efficacy of CCX168 based on the Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS) version 3.

The secondary objectives of this study include assessment of the feasibility of reducing or eliminating the use of corticosteroids in the treatment of subjects with ANCA-associated vasculitis without the need for rescue corticosteroid measures and the effect of CCX168 on several disease parameters.

Study acquired by Amgen and all disclosures were done by previous sponsor ChemoCentryx.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

• Clinical diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's), microscopic polyangiitis or renal limited vasculitis
• Male and postmenopausal or surgically sterile female subjects aged at least 18 years with new or relapsed AAV where treatment with cyclophosphamide or rituximab would be required
• Positive indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) test for P-ANCA or C-ANCA, or positive ELISA test for anti-proteinase-3 (PR3) or anti-myeloperoxidase (MPO) at screening
• Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 20mL/min
• Have at least one "major" item, or at least 3 non-major items, or at least 2 renal items on the BVAS version 3

Key Exclusion Criteria:

• Severe disease as determined by rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, alveolar hemorrhage, hemoptysis, rapid-onset mononeuritis multiplex or central nervous system involvement
• Any other multi-system autoimmune disease
• Medical history of coagulopathy or bleeding disorder
• Received cyclophosphamide within 12 weeks of screening; if on azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil or methotrexate at the time of screening, these drugs must be withdrawn prior to receiving the cyclophosphamide or rituximab dose on Day 1
• Received high-dose intravenous corticosteroids within 4 weeks of screening
• On an oral dose of a corticosteroid of more than 10mg prednisone-equivalent at the time of screening
• Received rituximab or other B-cell antibody within 52 weeks of screening or 26 weeks provided B cell reconstitution has occurred; received anti-TNF treatment, abatacept, alemtuzumab, IVIg or plasma exchange within 12 weeks of screening

De-identified individual patient data for variables necessary to address the specific research question in an approved data sharing request.

Data sharing requests relating to this study will be considered beginning 18 months after the study has ended and either 1) the product and indication (or other new use) have been granted marketing authorization in both the US and Europe or 2) clinical development for the product and/or indication discontinues and the data will not be submitted to regulatory authorities. There is no end date for eligibility to submit a data sharing request for this study.

Qualified researchers may submit a request containing the research objectives, the Amgen product(s) and Amgen study/studies in scope, endpoints/outcomes of interest statistical analysis plan, data requirements, publication plan, and qualifications of the researcher(s). In general, Amgen does not grant external requests for individual patient data for the purpose of re-evaluating safety and efficacy issues already addressed in the product labelling. Requests are reviewed by a committee of internal advisors, and if not approved, may be further arbitrated by a Data Sharing Independent Review Panel. Upon approval, information necessary to address the research question will be provided under the terms of a data sharing agreement. This may include anonymized individual patient data and/or available supporting documents, containing fragments of analysis code where provided in analysis specifications.
