Immune Monitoring Following B-cell Depletion in ANCA-associated Vasculitis (NALVANCA)
NALVANCA: Immune Monitoring Following B-cell Depletion in ANCA-associated Vasculitis
ANCA-associated vasculitis is a serious autoimmune disease. The standard treatment is rituximab (RTX), which depletes B-cells to control inflammation. However, identifying patients at high risk of relapse remains a challenge, often leading to unnecessarily long treatments and side effects. Recent research suggests that RTX also impacts CD8+ T-cells, which could serve as valuable markers for better disease monitoring.
The main goal of the NALVANCA cohort is to identify biomarkers within these CD8+ T-cells. Researchers aim to find biological signals that respond to treatment and can predict a relapse. By studying these markers at the start of therapy and during the immune recovery phase, the study hopes to personalize treatment duration and management for each patient.
Recruitment targets adult patients diagnosed with ANCA-associated vasculitis. Participants must provide written informed consent for the use and storage of their blood samples in a biocollection. The protocol involves long-term monitoring with regular sampling to track changes in immune cells alongside the patient's clinical health.

NALVANCA Cohort - ANCA-associated vasculitis patients treated with Rituximab.
This cohort follows adult patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis, a systemic autoimmune disease.
The intervention of interest is Rituximab (RTX) therapy, used to induce B-cell depletion.
The study involves longitudinal monitoring with the systematic collection of biological samples at key time points: before treatment induction, during the depletion phase, and upon immune reconstitution (2 years after the last injection or at relapse).
The objective is to study the pleiotropic effects of B-cell depletion on CD8+ T-cells to identify biomarkers capable of predicting the risk of relapse.

systematic collection of additional biological samples (blood volume)
BVAS (Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score) and VDI (Vasculitis Damage Index) are standardized clinical assessment tools used in vasculitis studies.
BVAS is a physician-reported score that evaluates current disease activity across organ systems, capturing the presence and severity of active vasculitic manifestations.
In contrast, VDI measures accumulated and irreversible organ damage resulting from vasculitis and/or its treatment over time, irrespective of current disease activity.
Together, these instruments allow comprehensive evaluation of both disease activity and long-term patient outcomes in clinical trials.
