What was measured

Time to complete remission is defined as the number of days from baseline visit (Visit 1) to a Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score for Wegener's Granulomatosis (BVAS/WG)\[1\] of 0 and completing taper of glucocorticoid by 6 months post-randomization. \[1\] The BVAS/WG is a disease activity index designed to document new or worsening clinically active vasculitis consisting of items divided into 9 organ based systems. BVAS/WG scores range from 0 to 63, with higher scores indicating more active disease

Analysis population: Intent-to-treat

Groups in this outcome

Rituximab

Participants received intravenous rituximab (Rituxan, Genentech) (at a dose of 375 mg per square meter of body-surface area once weekly for 4 weeks) plus daily placebo-cyclophosphamide. Refer to section titled "Detailed Description" for additional treatment information.

Control Group

Participants received placebo-rituximab infusions plus daily cyclophosphamide (2 mg per kilogram of body weight, adjusted for renal insufficiency). Refer to section titled "Detailed Description" for additional treatment information.

Group identifiers and denominators belong to this outcome only. They may differ in another outcome or in safety reporting.
