About ANCA-Associated Vasculitis Clinical Study

ANCA-associated vasculitis is a rare autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks blood vessels, causing inflammation and damage to organs like the kidneys, lungs, and nerves.

Hightower Clinical previously conducted a clinical study to explore new ways to manage this condition. The research focused on evaluating the safety and potential benefits of an investigational therapy to help improve future treatment options for patients living with AAV.

Early signs may include fatigue, fever, unexplained weight loss, joint pain, shortness of breath, and kidney problems. Symptoms vary depending on which organs are affected.

Is ANCA Vasculitis fatal?

If left untreated, AAV can lead to serious organ damage. With proper diagnosis and treatment, many patients can manage the disease and improve their quality of life.

Why should I participate in the ANCA-Associated Vasculitis study?

Participating helps advance research, improves understanding of the disease, and contributes to the development of better treatment options for people living with AAV.
