Summary
"This trial aims to see if the drug secukinumab is safe for long-term use in patients with polymyalgia rheumatica."
Who is the study for?

What is being tested?
The trial tests the long-term safety of Secukinumab in treating Polymyalgia Rheumatica. It's an open-label extension study, meaning everyone knows they're getting Secukinumab and it's given over an extended period.
What are the potential side effects?
Secukinumab may cause side effects like infections, allergic reactions, inflammation of nasal passages or upper throat, diarrhea, and possibly others that will be monitored over the course of this long-term study.
