- Time to First Relapse of Takayasu Arteritis (TAK) From Baseline [ Time Frame: Up to occurrence of 40 events (approximately 52 months) ]Relapse of TAK is defined as the presence of signs or symptoms as judged by the investigator for at least 2 of the following categories: objective systemic symptoms, subjective systemic symptoms, elevated inflammation markers, vascular signs and symptoms, or ischemic symptoms.
- Time to First Relapse of Takayasu Arteritis (TAK) by Kerr Criteria From Baseline [ Time Frame: Up to occurrence of 40 events (approximately 52 months) ]Kerr criteria for relapse are defined as the presence of signs or symptoms as judged by the investigator for at least 2 of the following categories: objective or subjective systemic symptoms, elevated inflammation markers, vascular or ischemic signs and symptoms, or worsening in imaging assessment due to TAK.
- Time to Worsening of Imaging Assessment Due to Takayasu Arteritis (TAK) From Baseline [ Time Frame: Up to occurrence of 40 events (approximately 52 months) ]Imaging with computed tomography angiogram (CTA).
