Study objectivesNot provided at time of registration
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedSystemic vasculitis
InterventionAt entry the patients will be randomised to either:
1. The HiCy3 regime (six tapering pulses of cyclophosphamide over 3.5 months, with the first pulse being 1.6 g/m^2)
2. The spCy regime - standard pulse cyclophosphamide (nine pulses of 15 mg/kg over 6 months)

All patients will receive intravenous methyl prednisolone with each cyclophosphamide pulse plus relatively low dose routine oral steroid. All patients will also receive mesna with each cyclophosphamide pulse, and will progress to a low dose azathioprine consolidation regime, given up to the end of month 18 of total study.

Updated 19/05/2014: this trial was stopped for reasons of poor recruitment in 2009.
