Abstract

Background Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) (Churg–Strauss) is a small-vessel necrotizing vasculitis characterized by blood and tissue eosinophilia and asthma. Glucocorticoids (GCs) control the disease, but GC-dependence is frequent. Evolving concepts distinguish vasculitis-related symptoms from asthma and/or ENT manifestations. That distinction has become even more important since the development of B-cell and eosinophil-targeted therapies. Objectives This study aimed to describe and identify characteristics predicting long-term EGPA outcomes. Methods We set up a multicenter European cohort that included 636 EGPA patients. Based on recent consensus, we distinguished 4 EGPA-evolutionary profiles: GC-dependent asthma and/or ENT manifestations (requiring prednisone >7.5 mg/d), ≥1 vasculitis relapse(s) (excluding asthma and/or ENT flares), both phenotypes, and complete remission (no GC-dependent asthma/ENT signs, no vasculitis relapse and prednisone Results After median follow-up of 63 (IQR 30-110) months, 35.8% had GC-dependent asthma and/or ENT manifestations, 12.9% had ≥1 vasculitis relapse(s), 14.3% had both phenotypes, 14.6% were in complete remission, 14.4% were in partial remission and 7.8% had not reach remission. Patients with GC-dependent asthma/ENT manifestations were younger at diagnosis (p Patients with vasculitis relapse(s) had more frequently neurological manifestations at diagnosis (p=0.002) and MPO-ANCA positivity (p Finally, patients in complete remission were older (p Conclusion EGPA seems to evolve toward distinct phenotypic profiles, which could be identified using baseline and follow-up characteristics. Early identification of those profiles could allow guided choices of the best therapeutic option. Disclosure of Interests Matthias Papo: None declared, Renato A.
