Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
To compare the cumulative IRF relapse rate 12 months after discontinuation of steroids.
The primary endpoint is the cumulate IRF relapse rate 12 months after discontinuation of steroids. The diagnosis of IRF relapse is based on the association of a clinical or biological criterion with a radiological criterion (i.e. composite criteria): * Clinical or biological criteria * recurrent or new-onset disease related symptoms * increase in C-reactive protein (CRP) \>20mg/L without other cause * And a Radiological criterion o increased of retroperitoneal fibrosis size as compared with the CT scan performed at remission. The primary endpoint will be centrally adjudicated.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patient over 18 years old
- New onset or untreated relapsing of active idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis (IRF) defined by the association of:
- Related-disease symptoms (Appendix 17.2) or elevated CRP level (\>20 mg/l) AND
- Retroperitoneal peri-aortic mass that surrounds the abdominal vessels on CT-scan
You may not qualify if:
- Secondary retroperitoneal fibrosis including drug-related retroperitoneal fibrosis, active infections (such as tuberculosis) or malignancies, systemic vasculitis (such as Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis), Erdheim-Chester disease (Appendix 17.3),patients with IgG4 disease may be enrolled
- Contraindication to perform FDG-PET/CT,
- Contraindication to perform CT scan with injection of contrast agent,
- Contraindication to treatment by prednisone
- Active infection
- Acute or chronic liver disease that is deemed sufficiently severe to impair their ability to participate in the trial,
- Active or history of malignancy in last 5 years. Individuals with squamous cell or basal cell skin carcinomas and individuals with cervical carcinoma in situ may be enrolled if they have received curative surgical treatment,
- Serum creatinine level greater than 400 µmol/L that cannot be attributed to underlying IRF,
- Inhaled glucocorticoids (except for patients with documented asthma),
- Any previous treatment with rituximab, methotrexate, alemtuzumab, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, infliximab, adalimumab, etanercept within the past 3 months,
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding,
- Non-affiliation to a social security regime,
- Subject deprived of freedom, subject under a legal protective measure
- Refusal to participate
