The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib 5 mg twice daily in AAV patients.
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) represents a group of small vessel vasculitides characterized by granulomatous and neutrophilic tissue inflammation, often associated with the production of antibodies that target neutrophil antigens. The predominantly used treatment for induction of remission in AAV consisted of cyclophosphamide (CYC) plus corticosteroids (GCs) which leads to remission in about 90% of patients. 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. Considering that T cells and associated cytokine production play an important role in the pathogenesis of AAV via activation of the JAK/ STAT pathway, we hypothesized that tofacitinib-mediated inhibition of JAK signaling may represent an effective therapy for active AAV. In this prospective, open label, single arm study, tofacitinib 5mg twice a day will be added to the background treatment of GCs and immunosuppressants in AAV, the safety and efficacy of tofacitinib will be assessed.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The response rate (CR, PR and TR) | The percent of patients who achieved disease response. The disease response includes:(1) complete remission (CR), defined as the absence of disease activity (BVAS = 0); (2) partial remission (PR) defined as at least 50% reduction of BVAS and no new manifestations; (3) treatment resistance (TR) was defined as less than a 50% reduction or increased disease activity after 4 ~ 6 weeks of treatment. | From the enrollment to the end of follow-up [0 to 13 months.] |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The rate of adverse event | The percent of different kinds of adverse events occurred during follow-up. The adverse event was evaluated according to the CTC-AE 4.0 standard. | From the enrollment to the end of follow-up [0 to 13 months]. |
| Changes in erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) |
