Bummer on the Avacopan front

Per Dr. Villa Forte (met with her this week), she believes that if Avacopan gets FDA Approval, it will be approved for treatment of active disease to induce remission, but not as a long term maintenance drug for patients already in remission. Right now, there isn't enough data available to support usage for long term remission maintenance replacing prednisone. That doesn't mean the data won't exist in the future, but it does not exist right now.

This is heartbreaking.
