NCT ID NCT05865054
First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study tests whether MRI scans can spot inflammation in the arteries that supply the head, brain, and eyes in people with suspected giant cell arteritis (GCA). Researchers will enroll 400 adults aged 50 and older who have new or worsening symptoms and high inflammation levels. The goal is to see if MRI can reliably detect disease, potentially reducing the need for invasive biopsies.
