Trial tests new hope for controlling rare, relapsing autoimmune disease

NCT ID NCT03164473

Summary

This study tested whether the drug rituximab is better than the standard drug azathioprine at keeping a rare autoimmune disease called EGPA in remission. It involved 98 adults whose disease had recently been brought under control. The goal was to see which drug helped patients stay in remission longer while reducing their need for steroid medications.
