GCA patients can rapidly reach remission at 3 months, taper off of steroids in 6 months, and stay in remission out to 1 year (primary endpoint: sustained remission* Week 12–52: 46% RINVOQ 15 mg + 26-wk CS taper [n=209] vs 29% placebo + 52-wk CS taper [n=112], P=0.002).2
*Sustained remission was defined as the absence of GCA signs and symptoms from Week 12 through 52 and adherence to the protocol-defined CS-taper regimen.
CS=corticosteroid; GCA=giant cell arteritis.
