Introduction: Biological drugs and targeted therapies are the new types of treatment used in many diseases, prominent among them rheumatological diseases. ANCA+ vasculitis are a group of multisystemic diseases whose prognosis has been very poor for years, but this may change thanks to the new therapies mentioned above.
Objective: To conduct a systematic review to evaluate the efficacy and safety of advanced therapies in ANCA+ vasculitis, comparing them with conventional therapies or placebo, both in induction and maintenance phases.
Methods: This is a systematic review which only includes randomised clinical trials, carried out after a search in PubMed, Embase and Cochrane. In a first selection, we screened by title and abstract, and then checked the inclusion criteria in a full-text reading.
Results: In total, 12 publications from 11 different clinical trials were finally entered. In terms of efficacy, Avacopan demonstrated in induction that it was not inferior to corticosteroids, and could even be superior. Mepolizumab showed superiority over placebo in induction. Rituximab demonstrated non-inferiority to cyclophosphamide in induction and superiority to azathioprine and placebo in maintenance. Neither Etanercept nor Belimumab demonstrated superiority over placebo in maintenance of remission. In terms of safety, none of the drugs managed to demonstrate either greater or lesser safety than their comparators, except for Etanercept, the use of which resulted in a statistically significant increase in solid tumors over placebo.
Conclusions: Certain biologic treatments are superior to and equally safe as their conventional treatments. This opens the door to research into new treatments for these diseases, and gives hope to patients suffering from these diseases, who may see their life expectancy increase.
