In this episode Professor Vibeke Strand discusses polymyalgia rheumatica (or PMR), a common inflammatory rheumatic disease that significantly impairs patients’ quality of life, causing fatigue, pain, and physical disability, especially in relapsing cases that often require long-term glucocorticoid treatment. However, these treatments come with considerable side effects, and many patients do not respond to treatment.

We also cover her recent publication, which explores the patient reported outcomes of a trial using sarilumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting the inflammatory cytokine IL-6, which has now been approved for treatment of PMR in the USA.
