New drug tested for rare vasculitis falls short

NCT ID NCT05376319

First seen May 12, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested whether a newer drug, obinutuzumab, works better than the standard drug rituximab for a rare disease that causes inflammation of blood vessels (ANCA-associated vasculitis). The goal was to see if patients could achieve remission and clear certain antibodies from their blood. The study was stopped early after enrolling only 6 people, so results are limited.
