Most of the patients (75.8%) received a single NGIT agent (AZA: 14, MMF: 4, RTX: 3, MTX: 1), while the remaining seven patients received multiple NGITs in a sequential manner (AZA\u2192RTX: 4, AZA\u2192MMF\u2192TAC: 1, MMF\u2192IFX: 1, MTX\u2192IFX\u2192RTX: 1). In the majority (59.1%), NGIT was administered concomitantly with GC. The median (IQR) duration of NGIT use was 10.5 (4.0\u201324.2) months. Overall, clinical, hormonal, and radiological PAH remission was observed in ~91%, ~26%, and ~72%, respectively. Radiological response was best with RTX (100%, 8\/8), followed by MMF (~66%, 4\/6) and AZA (~37%, 7\/19).
