Objective The objective of this study was to assess the value 18 F‐fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)– positron emission tomography (PET) scans monitor disease activity in patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA) on tocilizumab. Methods Patients GCA were recruited into a prospective cohort which they underwent clinical, laboratory, and imaging assessments, including FDG‐PET. FDG‐PET interpreted as active or inactive based global impression by two independent readers. PET Vascular Activity Score (PETVAS) calculated quantify arterial FDG uptake (scale 0–27). findings described tocilizumab for at least six months. For established clinical remission, compared between those treated versus glucocorticoid monotherapy. Results A total 36 Five had symptoms, all cases (PETVAS range: 20–27). 31 remission tocilizumab, 16 these (52%) across wide range PETVAS (range 11–27). There no associations during historical features longitudinal outcomes, relapse risk angiographic progression disease. significantly lower an additional 12 monotherapy vs 24; P = 0.02). Conclusion has limited guide management decisions inform prognosis when obtained Compared monotherapy, reduces, but often does not eliminate, vascular inflammation GCA.
