Excellent questions!!

Kevzara is FDA approved for PMR but not GCA.

Actemra is FDA approved for GCA but not PMR.

I would also ask if people are being treated for PMR, GCA or both PMR and GCA.

Actemra and Kevzara should work the same for either PMR or GCA. Both medications are IL-6 receptor blockers. Maybe include people who take Actemra too.
