Eye problems in granulomatosis with polyangiitis study
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at eye problems in people who have a disease called granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), which is a type of blood vessel inflammation that can also affect the eyes. They want to understand what eye issues happen in this disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This is a pregnancy registry that collects information from people with certain blood-vessel inflammatory diseases during pregnancy. It helps researchers better understand these conditions in pregnancy and may guide future care.
This trial tests lower steroid doses for people with certain types of vasculitis that have newly affected their kidneys. The goal is to find out if a lower dose works just as well with fewer side effects.
This study uses a skin biopsy to look at “gene signals” (transcriptomics) in patients with active vasculitis that shows up on the skin. It may help researchers understand what is happening in your disease and how different types of vasculitis differ.
This trial compares two strategies for people with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) or microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) who have stable disease but whose ANCA blood test has become positive again. The goal is to see whether waiting and monitoring closely works as well as giving a pre-emptive dose of rituximab to prevent a flare.
This study looks at how vision is affected in people with giant cell arteritis (GCA) -- a condition where blood vessels become inflamed. It compares those with GCA-related vision loss to people who have similar vision problems but not from GCA, to better understand and treat these eye issues.
This study looks at different types of blood vessel inflammation (vasculitis) to learn more about why they happen and how they progress. By joining, you may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve future treatments.
