The Effect of Intranasal Niclosamide on Nasal Symptoms in Patients with Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody–Associated Vasculitis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) manifestations are common in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)–associated vasculitis (AAV). There is an unmet need for drugs to target these manifestations. Granuloma formation is characteristic of proteinase 3 (PR3)–AAV. In a zebrafish model, niclosamide inhibits PR3‐induced granuloma formation.
