New drug trial aims to halt scarring in rare blood vessel disease

NCT ID NCT07325357

Summary

This study is testing if adding the drug pirfenidone to standard treatment can better control Takayasu arteritis, a rare disease that causes scarring and narrowing of blood vessels. Researchers will compare pirfenidone to a placebo in 92 patients already on standard therapy to see if it reduces vessel wall thickening and improves patient outcomes. The goal is to directly target the scarring process that current treatments often fail to stop.
