wow - i feel startled by your comment re: Actemra. A quick google search re: biologicals for PMR shows the site for KEVZARA and the recent FDA approval "To treat adult patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) who have had an inadequate response to corticosteroids or who cannot tolerate corticosteroid taper." i am only searching out new literature and reviews about PMR ( post 2018) The Am Coll Rheumatologists ( ARC) guidelines were published in 2015. this title from Feb 2023 is easy to read : "Treat-to-target recommendations in giant cell arteritis and polymyalgia rheumatica".
