Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Male and female children and adolescents from 6 to < 18 years old of age.
  • Clinical diagnosis of Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA) or microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), consistent with Chapel-Hill Consensus Conference definitions (Jennette et al, 2013).
  • Positive anti-PR3(Anti-Proteinase 3) or anti-MPO(Anti-Myeloperoxidase) antibody documented at Screening or historically. Historical positivity is acceptable (even if Screening is negative) if supported by verifiable lab source documentation obtained during AAV diagnosis or disease course; use the most recent positive result.
  • At least 1 PVAS major item, at least 3 PVAS nonmajor items, or atleast the 2 renal items of proteinuria and hematuria.
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of ≥ 15 mL/minute/1.73 m^2 at screening and day 1.
  • Participants must have a bodyweight of ≥ 15 kg at day 1.

Exclusion criteria

  • Any other known multisystem autoimmune disease including and not limited to eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA, previously, Churg-Strauss disease), systemic lupus erythematosus, IgA vasculitis / Henoch-Schönlein, Purpura, rheumatoid vasculitis, Sjögren's syndrome, anti-glomerular basement membrane disease, or cryoglobulinemic vasculitis.
  • Renal replacement therapy / plasmapheresis: subjects will be excluded who received, require, or initiate CRRT (continuous renal replacement therapy), hemodialysis, any renal dialysis, or plasmapheresis within 14 days prior to Screening or between Screening and Day 1.
  • History of kidney transplantation or is anticipated to require renal transplantation during the study.
  • Alveolar hemorrhage requiring invasive pulmonary ventilation support anticipated to last beyond the screening period of the study.
  • Any medical condition requiring, or expected to require, ongoing treatment with immunosuppressive, therapy (including systemic glucocorticoids) for a non-AAV indication that in the judgment of the investigator, could confound study assessments or interpretation of study results.
  • Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative highly sensitive serum pregnancy test at Screening and a negative sensitive urine pregnancy test, on day 1, with results confirmed prior to the first administration of investigational product.
  • Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to avacopan, its excipients, or to any investigational product or required concomitant medication used in this study.
  • Subject likely to not be available to complete all protocol-required study visits or procedures, and/or to comply with all required study procedures (eg, Clinical Outcome Assessments) to the best of the subject and investigator's knowledge.
  • History or evidence of any other clinically significant disorder, condition, or disease (other than those specified above) that, in the investigator's judgment, would pose an unacceptable risk to subject safety, or interfere with study assessments or completion. The investigator may consult the Amgen medical monitor as needed. The rationale for exclusion and any consultation must be documented in the subject's source record.

Treatment and study plan

Avacopan

Drug

Oral administration

Other names: AMG 569

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of Participants Achieving Disease Remission at Week 26 According to the Pediatric Vasculitis Activities Score (PVAS)

    Time frame: Week 26

  2. Proportion of Participants With Sustained Disease Remission at Week 52 According to the PVAS

    Time frame: Week 52

Secondary outcomes

  1. Plasma Concentrations of Avacopan

    Time frame: Day 1 up to Week 52

  2. Number of Participants Experiencing Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)

    Time frame: Day 1 up to approximately Week 60

    TEAEs are any event that occurred after the participant received study treatment. Any clinically significant changes in vital signs, electrocardiograms, and clinical laboratory tests that occurred after study treatment administration were recorded as TEAEs. A serious TEAE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant after first dose irrespective of a causal relationship with the study treatment(s) that resulted in death, was immediately life threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or another medically important serious event.

  3. Proportion of Participants Achieving Disease Remission at Week 26 According to the Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS)

    Time frame: Week 26

  4. Proportion of Participants Achieving Disease Remission at Week 52 According to the BVAS

    Time frame: Week 52

  5. Proportion of Participants With PVAS of 0 Over Time Through Week 52

    Time frame: Up to Week 52

  6. Proportion of Participants With BVAS of 0 Over Time Through Week 52

    Time frame: Up to Week 52

  7. Change From Baseline Over 52 Weeks in Urinary Albumin-Creatinine Ratio (UACR)

    Time frame: Baseline up to Week 52

  8. Change From Baseline Over 52 Weeks in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)

    Time frame: Baseline up to Week 52

  9. Change From Baseline Over 52 Weeks In Physician Global Assessment (PGA) of Disease Activity

    Time frame: Baseline up to Week 52

  10. Change From Baseline Over 52 Weeks in Pediatric Vasculitis Damage Index (PVDI)

    Time frame: Baseline up to Week 52

  11. Number of Glucocorticoid Dosages Administered

    Time frame: Screening up to Week 52

  12. Proportion of Participants Across the Taste Score Categories of the TASTY Faces Scale

    Time frame: Day 1 and Week 2

    The TASTY faces scale will be utilized to assess the taste of the oral pediatric formulation. A 7-point version of the scale will be used, where higher scores correspond to faces showing favorable tastes. Upon drug administration, the child will be shown the TASTY scale and asked to rate his/her perception of tastiness by pointing to the appropriate face on the scale.

  13. Taste and Acceptability Score of Avacopan per TASTY Faces Scale

    Time frame: Day 1 and Week 2

    The TASTY faces scale will be utilized to assess the taste of the oral pediatric formulation. A 7-point version of the scale will be used, where higher scores correspond to faces showing favorable tastes. Upon drug administration, the child will be shown the TASTY scale and asked to rate his/her perception of tastiness by pointing to the appropriate face on the scale.
