Abstract

The mainstay of therapy of large vessel vasculitides (LVV) remains glucocorticoids (GC). Although most patients initially achieve disease remission, relapses and GC dependence are seen in more than two-thirds of cases. Conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) showed little or no steroid sparing effects, while biological agents represent a valid therapeutic option in patients with severe and/or relapsing LVV.
