Superior rates of sustained glucocorticoid-free remission were shown in patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA) treated with weekly (QW) or every-other-week subcutaneous tocilizumab 162 mg+26-week prednisone taper (TCZ+26) for 52 weeks compared with placebo+26-week or 52-week prednisone taper (PBO+26 or PBO+52) in a phase 3 randomized controlled trial (GiACTA). Improvements in patient-reported SF-36 Physical Component Summary (PCS) score and Patient Global Assessment of Disease Activity were also reported for TCZ versus PBO+52 (1). |
