Glucocorticoids versus glucocorticoids plus cyclophosphamide in eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis with poor-prognosis factors
Objectives
Current guidelines suggest treating poor-prognosis eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) with a combination of glucocorticoids (GCs) plus cyclophosphamide (CYC). However, there is little data to support the need for the addition of CYC. The objective of this study was to compare GCs plus CYC to GCs alone as induction therapy in poor-prognosis EGPA.
Methods
We emulated a target trial using observational data from a European multicenter retrospective database. We included patients with newly diagnosed EGPA with a 1996 Five Factor Score (FFS) of at least 1, treated with GCs or GCs plus CYC between June 1985 and November 2018. Propensity score analysis was used to adjust for potential confounders. Primary outcome was relapse at 12months. Secondary outcomes included major relapse at 12months and GC-dependent asthma and/or ear nose and throat (ENT) manifestations at 24months.
Results
A total of 209 patients were included: 47 % were male and the mean age at diagnosis was 52 (±16 years); 26 % were treated with GCs alone and 74 % with GCs plus CYC. After adjustment, the risk of relapse (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.24, 95%CI [0.08–0.67], p = 0.007), major relapse (HR: 0.24, 95%CI [0.07–0.85], p = 0.026) and the proportion of GC-dependent asthma and/or ENT manifestations (odds ratio:0.30, 95%CI [0.14–0.66], p = 0.003) were lower in the GCs plus CYC group compared to the GCs alone group.
Conclusion
This target trial emulation study shows that the addition of CYC to GCs reduces the risk of vasculitis relapse and the rate of GC-dependent asthma and/or ENT manifestations in patients with poor-prognosis EGPA.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Autoimmunity serves as the primary publication for research on various facets of autoimmunity. These include topics such as the mechanism of self-recognition, regulation of autoimmune responses, experimental autoimmune diseases, diagnostic tests for autoantibodies, as well as the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and treatment of autoimmune diseases. While the journal covers a wide range of subjects, it emphasizes papers exploring the genetic, molecular biology, and cellular aspects of the field.
The Journal of Translational Autoimmunity, on the other hand, is a subsidiary journal of the Journal of Autoimmunity. It focuses specifically on translating scientific discoveries in autoimmunity into clinical applications and practical solutions. By highlighting research that bridges the gap between basic science and clinical practice, the Journal of Translational Autoimmunity aims to advance the understanding and treatment of autoimmune diseases.
