Trial of Tocilizumab in Giant-Cell Arteritis
NEJM 377:317-328,385, Stone, J.H.,et al, 2017
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Tocilizumab, received weekly or every other week, combined with a 26-week prednisone taper was superior to either 26-week or 52-week prednisone tapering plus placebo with regard to sustained glucocorticoid-free remission in patients with giant-cell arteritis. Longer follow-up is necessary to determine the durability of remission and safety of tocilizumab.
