HECTHOR: Humira to Spare Steroids in Giant Cell Arteritis

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Clinical Trial Description

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

Study Design

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment
