Dr Mackie is looking for pople willing to try Methotrexate for her STERLING PMR study

As above, she is looking for people who have PMR, don’t have GCA, and have had trouble tapering their steroids. And would be ok in principle to consider trying methotrexate. They would have to be local or able to travel to Leeds.

If you are already on methotrexate then you would not be eligible to take part.

More information about the study can be found at

Please respond direct to her if interested in helping research on s.l.mackie@leeds.ac.uk
