Abstract
Newer therapies for systemic vasculitis are required to improve the efficacy and reduce the toxicity associated with current agents. Our understanding of its pathogenesis is increasing with the availability of targeted therapies. B-cell depletion with rituximab is now a licensed therapy for ANCA vasculitis. Targets for therapy currently in development in ANCA associated vasculitis include blockade of complement and pro-inflammatory cytokines, and inhibition of T cell co-stimulation.Entities:
