Rituximab for the treatment of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Churg-Strauss).
(2016) In Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases 75(2). p.396-401- Abstract
- Conventional treatment of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) (Churg-Strauss) with glucocorticoids, with or without additional immunosuppressive drugs, is limited by partial efficacy, frequent toxicity and a high relapse rate. Rituximab is a licensed treatment for granulomatosis with polyangiitis and microscopic polyangiitis and is of potential benefit to patients with EGPA.
