Abstract
Maintenance therapy for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) should reduce rates of relapse with minimal toxicity. The MAINRITSAN trial—the first randomized controlled trial to compare the efficacies of rituximab and azathioprine in AAV remission maintenance— has demonstrated a superior outcome using rituximab. These data have important implications for the management of AAV.Entities:
