I have EGPA and been on benralizumab for 2 years which has controlled the production of eosinophils but EGPA was still very active. After a hospital admission 18 months ago mycophenolate to little effect was added and this was increased by 50% for the last 6wks. I am still needing regular large courses of steroids to control things. Specialist now talking of adding rituxumab. But I am concerned about the possibility damage that may happen from rituxumab . My lung function off steroids is only 25-30% so any further decrease would not be good. Anyone else had issues with rituxumab and lung issues for EGPA?
