主要终点
To determine the influence of an initial treatment of 3 months with adalimumab, 40 mg every other week, in the percentage of patients achieving at 6 months (week 26), a decrease in their corticosteroid treatment to a dose equal or lower than 0,1 mg/kg

研究概览

简要总结

Hypothesis: In giant cell arteritis (GCA), a short initial treatment with anti-TNF may allow a faster decrease of steroids dosage and therefore avoid some of the adverse events of steroids.

详细描述

The protocol consists of a SC injection of adalimumab or placebo every 2 weeks for 10 weeks added to steroids
