    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To demonstrate the superiority of rituximab against azathioprine in the prevention of disease flare in ANCA-associated vasculitis patients with relapsing disease.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Trial subjects were carefully monitored for the duration of the study, with frequent visits and follow-up. Treatment administration was in line with their usual standard of care and no additional distress was expected from participation in the trial.

    Evidence for comparator
    Rationale for the use of rituximab in AAV: B cells play a key role in the pathogenesis of AAV. Not only are they the precursors of ANCA secreting plasma cells, but they also act as antigen presenting cells for autoreactive T cells, providing co-stimulatory support and initiating T cell activation, as well as producing pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6 and TNFα. Specifically depleting B cells with targeted biological agents, such as rituximab, is therefore a promising approach to the treatment of AAV.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    RITAZAREM is a joint venture of the European Vasculitis Study Group (EUVAS) and the Vasculitis Clinical Research Consortium (VCRC). RITAZAREM was conducted in multiple centres internationally including Europe, North America and Australia/New Zealand and Japan.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Patients were evaluated by their local trial investigators to ensure they met all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria. The screening visit required confirmation of the diagnosis of AAV (ANCA positivity, current or historical and pertinent histology results) and documentation of organ manifestations of active AAV.

    This is an open label study. A non-blinded, open label study was been chosen for reasons of simplicity and practicality in view of RITAZAREM being an international multi-centre trial. Previous EUVAS studies with similar end-points have also been unblinded yet have led to robust and reproducible conclusions.

    Arm title
    Rituximab induction therapy
    Arm description
    Patients were recruited at the time of relapse. All received rituximab 375 mg/m2/week x 4 and glucocorticoids to achieve remission. Those patients that achieved disease control (BVAS/WG ≤ 1 and daily prednisone dose ≤ 10 mg) by month 4 were eligible for the subsequent phase of the trial (phase 2) where they were randomised to either rituximab or control remission maintenance therapy.

    Dosage and administration details
    Patients were recruited at the time of relapse. All received rituximab 375 mg/m2/week x 4 doses and glucocorticoids. The first dose of rituximab should have been given within 14 days of enrolment into the trial. All induction doses of rituximab should have been completed by week 6. First infusion: the recommended initial infusion rate for rituximab is 50 mg/h; subsequently, the rate can be escalated in 50 mg/h increments every 30 minutes to a maximum of 400 mg/h. Subsequent infusions: subsequent infusions of rituximab can be started at a rate of 100 mg/h and increased by 100 mg/h increments every 30 minutes to a maximum of 400 mg/h. Pre-medication with 100 mg IV methylprednisolone will be administered prior the first infusion to minimise infusion reactions. Sites will follow local pre-medication practice for infusions 2, 3, and 4. 100 mg IV methylprednisolone will be administered prior to each maintenance dose.

    Dosage and administration details
    Patients randomised to the control arm will receive oral azathioprine, to be taken daily. The maximum daily dose allowed is 200mg. The maximum treatment period is 27 months, with tapering at month 24 as described below. The target dose is 2mg/kg. The maximum daily dose is 200mg. This should be continued until month 24. The dose should then be reduced by 50% and azathioprine completely withdrawn at month 27. The dose should be rounded down to the nearest 25mg. The dose may vary on alternate days e.g. 100mg. Methotrexate or mycophenolate mofetil were permitted for those individuals intolerant of azathioprine. Methotrexate 25 mg/week will be substituted for patients with GFR > 50 ml/min and intolerant of azathioprine even at a reduced dose of 1 mg/kg/day. Mycophenolate mofetil 2 g/day will be substituted for patients intolerant of azathioprine and with GFR < 50 ml/min, and glucocorticoids. Intolerance is defined as the occurrence of an adverse event.

    Notes
    [1] - Period 1 is not the baseline period. It is expected that period 1 will be the baseline period.
    Justification: The protocol comprises an induction phase (period 1) and a maintenance phase (period 2). During the induction period, all patients receive the same treatment to bring the disease under remission, only the patients who achieve remission by month 4 are entered in the randomised second phase of the trial, which aims to assess the efficacy of rituximab compared to azathioprine in the prevention of disease relapse in AAV patients with relapsing disease.

    Notes
    [2] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: The total number of patients enrolled in the trial comprises all patients enrolled in the induction phase of the trial (phase 1) while only those who achieved disease remission by month 4 are entered in the randomisad maintenance phase of the trial (phase 2). Baseline is taken to be at the point of randomisation (month 4) and encompass only those patients who achieve disease remission by month 4.

    Rituximab induction therapy
    Reporting group description
    Patients were recruited at the time of relapse. All received rituximab 375 mg/m2/week x 4 and glucocorticoids to achieve remission. Those patients that achieved disease control (BVAS/WG ≤ 1 and daily prednisone dose ≤ 10 mg) by month 4 were eligible for the subsequent phase of the trial (phase 2) where they were randomised to either rituximab or control remission maintenance therapy.

    This per-protocol populations includes all randomised patients who have not deviated from protocolised treatment during the follow-up (from randomisation to end of trial). It is assumed that maintenance compliance is necessary for follow-up compliance. Patients who withdraw from trial or from protocolised treatment will be assessed for compliance up to the point of their withdrawal.

    Primary: First Major or Minor Relapse

    Close Top of page
    End point title
    First Major or Minor Relapse
    End point description
    The primary efficacy outcome measure of the trial is relapse-free survival, where a relapse is either major or minor. The primary analysis is a Cox regression model adjusted for the stratification factors (ANCA type, relapse severity and prednisone induction regimen) for the difference in the distribution of relapse-free survival between the rituximab arm and the azathioprine (control) arm (two-sided at α-level of 5%). Assuming a proportional hazard holds, the hazard ratio together with the 95% confidence interval will be estimated using a Cox regression model adjusted for the stratification factors.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    Patients are followed up from a mimumum of 36 months to a maximum of 48 months from enrolment (month 0). The primary endpoint is time to disease relapse (either minor or major relapse) from randomisation (month 4).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    13 Feb 2013
    New PIS/consent v2.0
    12 Sep 2013
    Protocol v 2.0; Consent - Minor assent form v1.1; PROMIS Questionnaire v2.0; PIS/consent v3.0 1) Addition of patient related outcome questionnaire (PROMIS). 2) Change to dosing advice for azathioprine in older patients. There is limited, objective evidence to support dose reduction of azathioprine with age. This is an historic practice, and would risk under-dosing our comparator group in the trial, possibly masking true treatment effects. The safety parameters and monitoring of azathioprine remain unchanged, and are robust to detect any problems early. 3) Simplification of oral prednisolone dosing by conversion from mg/kg/day to mg/day with two weight divisions. The protocol was written to provide 2 prednisolone regimens (0.5mg/kg or 1.0mg/kg) for investigators to ‘tailor’ according to the severity of disease manifestations of the patient. The maximum daily dose was set at 60mg in week 0. However, due to the enrolment of two patients into the trial with larger than average Body Mass Index, it became necessary to redesign the regimens according to body weight to take account of this. This is also an important safety measure since adverse reactions to high prednisolone doses are well documented. Clarity has been added to the instruction paragraph for treatment of patient relapse during the trial since there was disagreement in the protocol between earlier instructions. This corrects and clarifies the wording. 4) Change of inclusion/exclusion criteria 5) Reference Safety Information change 6) Rewording of the safety section of the protocol 7) Alignment of follow up assessments for non-randomised patients 8) Clarification of Hepatitis B screening to include new safety information
    08 May 2014
    Addition of 4 new UK sites (applies to Dudley only the other sites did not set up)
    17 Sep 2015
    Consent - Minor assent form v2.0; PIS parent/guardian v4.0; PIS/consent v4.0; Protocol v3.0; 1) Clarification of the number of patients that will be randomised The protocol now reads that at least 160 patients will be randomised, to account for the fact that some patients may have been recruited, but not yet reached the 4 month randomisation point when the target of 160 patients is reached, thus allowing them to continue into the maintenance phase of the trial. 2) Clarification of practicalities of trial A section has been added to the synopsis to make clear the three phases of the trial; further details on the minimisation criteria for randomisation have been added; clarification of the process of screening for pregnancy at the baseline visit has been added as well as additional information for investigators in the Republic of Ireland regarding contraception advice; it is now made clear that rituximab, azathioprine, methotrexate and mycophenolate mofetil are all IMPs for the purpose of this study; further detail regarding actions if IgG levels fall to below 3g/l have been added. Reducing dose of MTX and MMF by 50% at month 24 and then complete withdrawal at month 27, to align with azathioprine 3) Re-wording of the primary objective It now reads “To assess the efficacy of rituximab compared to azathioprine in the prevention of disease flare in AAV patients with relapsing disease”, rather than “To demonstrate the superiority of rituximab against azathioprine in the prevention of disease flare in AAV patients with relapsing disease” 4) Safety reporting Kim Mynard has replaced Michelle Lewin as trial coordinator, and therefore the reporting contact for SAEs has been updated to reflect this. Section 13 has been re-worded and re-formatted to clarify the reference safety information for the trial and the definition of expected adverse reactions. In addition, several adverse events of interest will now be collected as part of the study.

    04 Sep 2018
    Update to PIS v6.0 and Protocol v5.0 and update to RSI 1) Safety reporting Sections 11 and 13 have been updated to include the monographs for azathioprine, methotrexate and mycophenolate mofetil as reference safety information for Canada. Sections 11 and 13 have been updated to remove text regarding monitoring assessments for azathioprine, methotrexate and mycophenolate mofetil. Section 11 has been updated to include new reference safety information provided in the Methotrexate SmPC. Several minor changes have also been made to the trial documentation.
