If you have had any experience of being treated with Tocilizumab for GCA/TA - favourable or unfavourable then please can you contact me, John Mills ASAP John.mills@vasculitis.org.uk - the NICE assessment committee meets next week and I would like some anecdotal evidence to present at the meeting. Thank you

Hi John - It's a bit of a challenge because people on the GiACTA study won't know for sure whether they were taking it, and there are very few people who have actually been able to take it without being in the trial. I am doing PMRGCAuk's submission to the meeting. See you there! Kate
