Advances in the treatment of polymyalgia rheumatica and giant cell arteritis

Research published in 2023 has demonstrated the efficacy of sarilumab for IL-6 blockade in polymyalgia rheumatica and of secukinumab for IL-17 blockade in giant cell arteritis (GCA). Furthermore, preliminary results with human monocyte-derived suppressive cells suggest the potential of cellular therapeutics for the treatment of GCA.
