Brief Summary:
The study aims at defining the role of soluble CD95 Ligand in the physiopathology of a rare group of inflammatory diseases: ANCA associated vasculitis. Soluble CD95 Ligand might have a prognostic and diagnostic interest as well as potential for the discovery of new therapeutic strategies.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
ANCA Associated Vasculitis Biological: blood sample Biological: urine sample Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

ANCA associated vasculitis are a rare group of diseases and potentially life-threatening inflammatory conditions. There is an urgent need to describe prognostic factors and to discover new therapeutic pathways. Soluble CD95-L is a cleaved part of CD95-L which binds the CD95 Death receptor. s-CD95-L has pro-inflammatory properties for Th17 lymphocytes and Neutrophils, two cells implicated in ANCA associated vasculitis. It also plays a role in systemic lupus erythematosus (which present with the same type of renal glomerulonephritis as ANCA-associated vasculitis). Finally, it has already be found elevated in this group of diseases. The investigators hypothesized that s-CD95-L levels might be a prognostic factor in ANCA associated vasculitis and the study of the molecular mechanisms involved could provide new therapeutic targets.

The study will recruit 50 patients with ANCA associated vasculitis followed in Bordeaux University Hospital. Among classical disease activity information, blood and urine samples will be collected at each visit to study s-CD95-L. Fundamental research will be realized on patients' sample to study molecular mechanisms involved.

Clinical and biological disease activity, treatment and outcomes will be studied in correlation with s-CD95-L to describe their potential prognostic role. Patients will be followed at regular intervals, as their usual follow-up would request. No extra visit will be needed and blood samples will be drawn at the same time as those drawn for clinical purposes.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change of quantitative levels of s-CD95-L in ANCA associated vasculitis between baseline and Month 12 [ Time Frame: At baseline (Day 0) and 12 months from baseline ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change of disease activity scores for ANCA associated vasculitis between baseline and Month 12 [ Time Frame: At baseline (Day 0) and 12 months from baseline ]
    Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score - Version 3 (BVAS 3.0) The Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS) is a method for assessing the activity of vasculitis. Note that scoring ranges are higher when any of the features are new or worse. Creatinine levels can be scored at patient's first assessment only. The maximum score is 63 points for present symptoms and 32 points for new symptoms or symptoms which had worsened within the previous weeks.

  2. Change of disease activity scores for ANCA associated vasculitis between baseline and Month 12 [ Time Frame: At baseline (Day 0) and 12 months from baseline ]
    Vasculitis Damage Index (VDI)

  3. Change of quantification of s-CD95-L in the blood and urine samples of ANCA associated vasculitis between baseline and Month 12 [ Time Frame: At baseline (Day 0) and 12 months from baseline ]
  4. Change of quantification of ANCA in the blood samples of ANCA associated vasculitis between baseline and Month 12 [ Time Frame: At baseline (Day 0) and 12 months from baseline ]
