International Network for the Study of Systemic Vasculitides, French Vasculitis Study Group, European Vasculitis Study Group (EUVAS), Italian Vasculitis Study Group, Vasculitis Clinical Research Consortiumにおいて、進展が見られた。
(1) for severe forms of new-onset WG and MPA, substitution of azathioprine for cyclophosphamide after remission induction did not increase relapses and reduced cyclophosphamide toxicity
(2) for milder forms of WG and MPA, methotrexate is as effective as cyclophosphamide for remission induction
(3) among patients with new-onset severe WG or MPA, cyclophosphamide-induced remissions followed by treatment with either azathioprine or methotrexate were highly successful
(4) induction of remission using rituximab is as effective as cyclophosphamide for severe WG and MPA.
