This UK-based study uses a questionnaire to learn about how people with Takayasu arteritis (a rare type of vasculitis) are treated and what they think about their care. If you have TAK, your answers can help doctors understand how to better manage this condition.
This trial compares a personalized treatment plan based on your specific disease markers to standard care, aiming to find which is more effective and safer for active Takayasu's arteritis. It may help researchers learn how to better control inflammation and prevent flares.
This trial studies treatment options for people age 14 and older with severe, active Takayasu arteritis causing major circulation problems and organ strain. It may help reduce inflammation and complications when the disease is flaring and difficult to control.
This trial tests a drug called secukinumab to see if it can help people with severe Takayasu arteritis, a rare disease that causes inflammation in the blood vessels. The drug works by blocking a protein that drives inflammation, which may reduce disease activity and help people lower their steroid dose.
This study looks at whether it is safe for people with Takayasu arteritis to stop taking their biologic medication (like TNF inhibitors or tocilizumab) if they have been in remission—meaning their disease has been quiet—for a long time. You might join this trial if your condition has been stable for years and you haven't needed steroids lately.
This trial compares two medicines—tofacitinib and methotrexate—to see which works better for controlling active Takayasu’s arteritis. It also looks at safety in people with this condition who need treatment right now.
