研究概览
简要总结
To compare in giant cell arteritis (GCA) the rate of complete remission without any relapse in the two arms of corticosteroid therapy (long regimen of 52 weeks versus short regimen of 28 weeks) at week 52 (W52). The working hypothesis is to verify the non-inferiority of the shortened American scheme, in comparison to the extended French and European scheme.

结局指标
主要结局

In each of the two arms (28- and 52-week regimens): number of patients in complete remission without relapse at S52, based on total number of patients included
次要结局
- - Measurement of the number of 1st relapses at S28 and S52 / number of patients included - Measurement of the number of 2nd relapses at S28 and S52 / number of patients included
- - Measurement of extremes, means and medians of time to 1st and 2nd relapses
- - Measurement of extremes, means, and medians of durations and individual cumulative doses of cortisone relative to body weights at S28 and S52
- - Measuring the number of patients with cortico-dependent disease at S52
- measurement of blood pressure, weight, glycemia, glycated hemoglobin, biochemistry, infectious complications, fracture complications, glaucoma, cataracts. Screening in both arms for the onset or decompensation of type 2 diabetes and any cardiovascular events. Bone densitometry (at baseline, S28 and S52) and adverse events attributable to corticosteroid therapy as soon as consent was signed and for the duration of the study.
