An Observational Study to Assess Change in Disease Activity and Adverse Events of Adalimumab in Chinese Pediatric Participants With Polyarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (pJIA)

Completed
Conditions
Polyarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Registration Number
NCT05411211
Lead Sponsor
AbbVie
Brief Summary

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatic disease affecting children, characterized by chronic synovitis with systemic multi-organ damage. Polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pJIA) is a subtype of JIA defined as disease involving more than five joints in the first 6 months of disease. This study will assess how safe and effective adalimumab (Humira®) is in treating pediatric participants with pJIA in China real-world setting.

Adalimumab is an approved drug for the treatment of pJIA. Approximately 50 participants age 2 to 17 who are prescribed adalimumab for the treatment of pJIA in routine clinical practice will be enrolled at multiple sites in China.

Participants will receive adalimumab per their physician's usual prescription. Individual data will be collected for 52 weeks.

No additional study-related tests will be conducted during the routine physician visits. Only data which are routinely collected during a regular visit will be utilized for this study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from Baseline in Physician's Global Assessment (PhGA) of Participant's Disease Activity by Visual Analog Scale (VAS)Up to 52 Weeks

PhGA measured by 100 mm VAS. VAS scores range from 0 to 100 points, 0=very good and 100=very bad.

Change from Baseline in Participants Experiencing Joint PainUp to 52 Weeks

Participants Experiencing Joint Pain

Number of Active Joints CountUp to 52 Weeks

Active joints are defined as joints with swelling not due to deformity or joints with limitation of passive motion \[LOM\] and with pain and/or tenderness. Higher scores represent higher disease activity.

Change from Baseline of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and/or Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) levelsUp to 52 Weeks

CRP and/or ESR level assessed as part of the physician's site routine car

Number of Participants with Adverse EventsUp to 52 Weeks

An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. The investigator assesses the relationship of each event to the use of study drug.

Change from Baseline in Physical function measured by Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ)Up to 52 Weeks

The CHAQ assessed physical function. Scores go from 0= no disability to 3 = severe disability.

Change from baseline in dosage of corticosteroidUp to 52 Weeks
Change from Baseline in Participants Experiencing Joint SwellingUp to 52 Weeks

Participants Experiencing Joint Swelling

Change from Baseline in Parent's or Child's Global Assessment of Participant's Disease Activity (Pa/ChGA) by Visual Analog Scale (VAS)Up to 52 Weeks

Pa/ChGA measured by 100 mm VAS. VAS scores range from 0 to 100 points, 0=very good and 100=very bad.

Number of joints with limitation of passive motion (LOM)Up to 52 Weeks

Number of joints with LOM

Number of joints with pain on passive motion (POM)Up to 52 Weeks

Number of joints with POM
