研究概览
简要总结
The main hypothesis of this study is that the (average) number of injections rIL- 1RA per patient in order to achieve and maintain clinically inactive disease in the first year after the start of rIL-1RA, by making additional use of the biomarker IL-18, is lower than the average number of injections rIL-1RA that was necessary per patient in the first year after the start of rIL-1RA in our historical cohort (in which the decision to taper and stop with rIL-1RA was done only on clinical judgment of the treating physician).

入选标准
- •Open label lead-in (observational part):
- •Children and adolescents diagnosed with sJIA (ILAR 2004 classification criteria);
- •Both male and female patients, aged 8 months - 16 years (anakinra is approved in children aged 8 months and older who suffer from CAPS, and as per definition, JIA has an onset before the age of 16);
- •Parents or legal guardian (and the subject when age is appropriate) who are willing to sign the consent/assent forms.
- •Intervention part (tapering and stop phase):
- •patients treated with rIL-1RA as first line therapy showing an initial beneficial response (no fever on day 7) to rIL-1RA monotherapy (concomitant NSAID allowed);
- •Achieving at least an ACRPed90 response without fever around point 90 days after start of therapy on rIL-1RA mono therapy (concomitant NSAID allowed).
排除标准
- •Open label lead-in (observational part):
- •An onset of Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS) simultaneously with sJIA or after the diagnosis of sJIA will lead to exclusion of a (potential) subject from participation in this study;
- •Previous systemically administered corticosteroid treatment within 6 weeks before diagnosis and enrollment.
- •Known exclusion criteria for the use of rIL-1RA (renal failure, with a creatinin clearance rate of < 30 ml/min or neutropenia with neutrophil counts of < 1,5 * 10e9/L).
- •Intervention part (tapering and stop phase):
- •An onset of Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS) after the diagnosis of sJIA will lead to exclusion of a (potential) subject from participation in this study;
- •Patients with a relapse of sJIA in the open label lead-in phase of the study will be excluded for the tapering and stop phase, and will switch treatment to concomitant corticosteroid treatment and/or other biological therapy (Tocilizumab or Canakinumab) upon the decision of the treating physician.
结局指标
主要结局
* The total (mean/median) number of injections of anakinra per patient necessary to achieve and maintain clinically inactive disease during the first year of treatment.
* The total (mean/median) number of injections of anakinra per patient necessary to achieve and maintain clinically inactive disease during the first year of treatment.
次要结局
- * The number of patients with *clinically inactive disease* without medication at time point 1 year.
- * The total number of disease flares during or after tapering and stop of therapy in the first year;
- * The number of patients with remission off medication at time point 2 years;
- * The number of patients needing to switch treatment because of treatment failure during the first year (to calculate reduction in treatment costs)
- * The number of (serious) adverse events in the first year.
