Administered orally.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Participants has provided informed consent before initiation of any study-specific activities/procedures.
- Newly diagnosed or relapse of granulomatosis with polyangiitis or microscopic polyangiitis, consistent with Chapel-Hill Consensus Conference definitions (Jennette et al, 2013), where induction treatment with cyclophosphamide or rituximab is needed.
- Age \>/= 18 years (or \>/= legal age within the country if it is older than 18 years).
- Positive test for anti-positive antiproteinase 3 or antimyeloperoxidase (current or historic) antibodies.
- At least 1 Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS) major item, or at least 3 BVAS nonmajor items, or at least the 2 renal items of proteinuria and hematuria.
- eGFR \>/= 15 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 (using Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equations).
You may not qualify if:
- Alveolar hemorrhage requiring invasive pulmonary ventilation support anticipated to last beyond the screening period of the study.
- Any other known multisystem autoimmune disease that may confound study assessments and study conclusions including but not limited to eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA \[Churg-Strauss\]), systemic lupus erythematosus, immunoglobulin (Ig) A vasculitis (Henoch-Schönlein), rheumatoid vasculitis, Sjogren's syndrome, anti-glomerular basement membrane disease, or cryoglobulinemic vasculitis.
- Any other medical condition requiring or expected to require continued use of immunosuppressive therapies, including corticosteroids that may cause confoundment with study assessments and study conclusions.
- Received dialysis or plasma exchange within 16 weeks before Day 1 randomization.
- Have had a kidney transplant.
- Malignancy (except curatively treated nonmelanoma skin cancers, curatively treated cervical carcinoma in situ, or breast ductal carcinoma in situ) within the last 5 years before Day 1 randomization.
- Acute or chronic, active hepatitis B virus or hepatitis C virus, or human immunodeficiency virus infection during screening.
- Any known exposure to a case of active tuberculosis (TB) within the last 12 weeks before Day 1 randomization.
- Positive test for active or latent TB during screening.
- White blood cell count \< 3500/µL, neutrophil count \< 1500/µL, or lymphocyte count \< 500/µl. Note: Complete Blood Count can be repeated once in the screening period at the investigator discretion. In such instances, eligibility will be determined based on the repeat complete blood count.
- Evidence of clinically significant hepatic disease including prior diagnosis of cirrhosis.
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), or alkaline phosphatase (ALP) \>2.0 times the upper limit of normal (ULN).
- Total bilirubin \> 1.5 times the ULN. Note: A participant with documented Gilbert's syndrome with total bilirubin \< 2 x ULN may be eligible.
- Any of the following within 12 weeks prior to Day 1 randomization: myocardial infarction, stroke, unstable angina, symptomatic congestive heart failure requiring prescription medication, any other clinically significant cardiovascular disease that in the opinion of the investigator would pose a risk to participant safety or interfere with the study evaluation, procedures, or completion.
- Received cyclophosphamide (CYC) within 12 weeks before signing the informed consent; if on azathioprine (AZA), mycophenolate, or methotrexate (MTX) at the time of screening, these drugs must be withdrawn before receiving CYC. Note: If induction therapy with CYC was started within 1 week before signing the informed consent for the current episode of newly diagnosed or relapse of GPA or microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), the participant may be eligible, provided no CYC was received within 12 weeks before the start of the current induction therapy and if on AZA, mycophenolate, or MTX, these were withdrawn prior to receiving the current induction therapy with CYC.

- STUDY PROTOCOL, SAP, ICF, CSR
- Time Frame
- Data sharing requests relating to this study will be considered beginning 18 months after the study has ended and either 1) the product and indication have been granted marketing authorization in both the US and Europe or 2) clinical development for the product and/or indication discontinues and the data will not be submitted to regulatory authorities. There is no end date for eligibility to submit a data sharing request for this study.
- Access Criteria
- Qualified researchers may submit a request containing the research objectives, the Amgen product(s) and Amgen study/studies in scope, endpoints/outcomes of interest, statistical analysis plan, data requirements, publication plan, and qualifications of the researcher(s). In general, Amgen does not grant external requests for individual patient data for the purpose of re-evaluating safety and efficacy issues already addressed in the product labelling. Requests are reviewed by a committee of internal advisors. If not approved, a Data Sharing Independent Review Panel will arbitrate and make the final decision. Upon approval, information necessary to address the research question will be provided under the terms of a data sharing agreement. This may include anonymized individual patient data and/or available supporting documents, containing fragments of analysis code where provided in analysis specifications. Further details are available at the URL below.
