A Phase 3 Clinical Trial of CCX168 (Avacopan) in Patients With ANCA-Associated Vasculitis

Overview

About this study

The aim of the trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of the orally-administered, selective complement C5a receptor inhibitor CCX168 (avacopan) in inducing and sustaining remission in patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV).
