New drug combo aims to tame painful muscle condition and cut steroid dependence

NCT ID NCT07286214

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

Summary

This study tests whether adding sarilumab (a drug that calms inflammation) to a slow steroid taper can help people with early polymyalgia rheumatica achieve lasting remission. About 300 adults aged 50 and older will receive either sarilumab or a placebo, along with a 52-week prednisone reduction plan. The goal is to see if sarilumab allows more patients to stop steroids without symptoms returning.
