Brief Summary:
This will be efficacy and safety of Induction and Tapering Therapy with Tofacitinib and Glucocorticoid in patients with Polymyalgia Rheumatica (ITTG PMR): An open-label 52-week randomized controlled trial
Detailed Description:
Rheumatic polymyalgia (PMR) is more commonly observed in individuals over the age of 50, who may have a higher prevalence of osteoporosis, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and other chronic conditions. Currently, glucocorticoids are the primary treatment for PMR, but they can lead to various side effects, and recurrence is common during steroid tapering. Our previous 24-week study confirmed the effective treatment of PMR patients with tofacitinib. Given the relatively slow efficacy of tofacitinib, early adjunctive therapy with NSAIDs is needed. To address this, we are planning an open-label 52-week randomized controlled trial. This study aims to assess the use of tofacitinib in combination with glucocorticoids to induce rapid improvement, followed by rapid tapering of steroids and slow tapering of tofacitinib. The objective is to observe the efficacy and safety of this regimen for PMR, providing a new treatment option for clinical use.
