Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), formerly known as Wegener granulomatosis, is a rare multisystem autoimmune disease of unknown etiology. Its hallmark features include necrotizing granulomatous inflammation and pauci-immune vasculitis in small- and medium-sized blood vessels. Several other drugs may help decrease the function of the immune system cells causing inflammation. They include cyclophosphamide, azathioprine (Azasan, Imuran) and methotrexate (Rheumatrex, Trexall). Rituximab (Rituxan) is another option for treating granulomatosis with polyangiitis.
