Summary

This study looks at giant cell arteritis, a condition that causes inflammation in blood vessels and is common in older adults. Researchers want to find better ways to predict who will have a relapse and how well treatment is working. They will use ultrasound scans and blood tests to develop tools that could help doctors personalize care and reduce side effects from long-term steroid use. About 340 people with suspected GCA will take part.
