Avacopan (Tavneos) is used to treat two forms of ANCA-associated vasculitis, both granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA). Avacopan is an add-on treatment used with other medicines for adults with active and severe symptoms.
Avacopan works by blocking a receptor in the blood called complement 5a (or C5a), which is part of the immune system. When Avacopan blocks the C5a receptor it may help reduce blood vessel inflammation, improving disease symptoms. Avacopan is called a complement 5a receptor (C5aR) antagonist.
Avacopan FDA approval was received on October 7, 2021, under the brand name Tavneos by ChemoCentryx, Inc. Tavneos is FDA-approved as a treatment for adults with severe active ANCA-associated vasculitis (granulomatosis with polyangiitis and microscopic polyangiitis) when used together with standard therapy including glucocorticoids.
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody-associated vasculitis (ANCA-associated vasculitis) is a rare autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and damage to small or medium-sized blood vessels, affecting various organs, including airways, kidneys, and lungs. Two forms of ANCA-associated vasculitis are granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA)
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), previously called Wegener’s granulomatosis, mainly affects the respiratory tract and the kidneys, leading to sinusitis, nosebleeds, and kidney disease.
