Mycophenolate mofetil plus methotrexate versus cyclophosphamide with sequential azathioprine for treatment of Takayasu arteritis

Treatment of active TAK with MMF+MTX has more favourable efficacy compared to CYC/AZA. These findings provide evidence to use the combination of MTX and MMF, 2 generally well-tolerated and inexpensive therapies, to treat TAK.

Abstract

Treatment of active TAK with MMF+MTX has more favourable efficacy compared to CYC/AZA. These findings provide evidence to use the combination of MTX and MMF, 2 generally well-tolerated and inexpensive therapies, to treat TAK.
