Overview

Tavneos is a medicine used to treat adults with severe, active granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA or Wegener’s granulomatosis) or microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), which are inflammatory conditions of the blood vessels. Tavneos is used as part of a combined treatment also including the medicines rituximab or cyclophosphamide.

Tavneos contains the active substance avacopan.

GPA and MPA are rare, and Tavneos was designated an ‘orphan medicine’ (a medicine used in rare diseases). Further information on the orphan designations can be found on the European Medicines Agency’s website (GPA: 19 November 2014; MPA: 19 November 2014).
