Article Synopsis
- - This study compares the effectiveness and safety of adalimumab (ADA) and leflunomide (LEF) in treating Takayasu arteritis (TAK) in 44 patients who met specific criteria.
- - Both treatment groups showed similar response rates over 15 months, with ADA patients requiring more intravenous methylprednisolone at the beginning, and a higher median prednisone dose early on, but not later.
- - While both treatments led to comparable disease outcomes, mild-to-moderate adverse events and withdrawal from therapy occurred only in the LEF group.
