Summary

This study looks at 120 adults with giant cell arteritis (a type of blood vessel inflammation) who are stable on tocilizumab. Researchers want to see if gradually reducing the drug is better than stopping it all at once for preventing the disease from flaring up again. Participants will be followed for relapses and side effects over time.
