First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether adding pirfenidone, a drug used for lung and liver scarring, to standard treatment can improve blood vessel damage in people with Takayasu arteritis. About 92 adults aged 18-60 will receive either pirfenidone or a placebo for 6 months. The goal is to see if the drug can reduce vessel wall thickening and help patients feel better.
