What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Time to First Relapse of Takayasu Arteritis (TAK) From Baseline through End of the Double-Blind (DB) Period	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 OR where the criteria are met based on one category per protocol definition of relapse of TAK.	Up to occurrence of 40 events (approximately 52 months)
Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs)	An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation in which a participant is administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.	Up to approximately 58 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Time to First Relapse of Takayasu Arteritis (TAK) by Kerr Criteria From Baseline through End of the DB Period	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.	Up to occurrence of 40 events (approximately 52 months)
Time to Worsening of Imaging Assessment Due to Takayasu Arteritis (TAK) From Baseline through End of the DB Period	Imaging with computed tomography angiogram (CTA).	Up to occurrence of 40 events (approximately 52 months)
