1. Male or female aged 2 to <18 years.
2. Must meet International League Against Rheumatism (ILAR) JIA classification for one of the following categories and, in the opinion of the investigator, have active disease for at least 6 weeks prior to screening:
- Extended oligoarthritis;
- Polyarthritis (RF+);
- Polyarthritis (RF-);
- Systemic JIA with active arthritis but without active systemic features in the prior 6 months and at the time of enrollment;
- Psoriatic arthritis;
- Enthesitis-related arthritis.
Subjects with polyarticular course JIA (ie, extended oligoarthritis, polyarthritis RF+, polyarthritis RF-, systemic JIA with active arthritis but without active systemic features) must have a minimum of 5 active joints (an active joint is defined as a joint with swelling or, in the absence of swelling, limited range of motion accompanied by either pain on motion or tenderness) at screening and baseline to be eligible for study entry.
Subjects with psoriatic or enthesitis-related arthritis must have a minimum of 3 active joints (an active joint is defined as a joint with swelling or, in the absence of swelling, limited range of motion accompanied by either pain on motion or tenderness) at screening and baseline to be eligible for study entry.
Treatment with stable doses of a Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug (NSAID) and/or a stable dose of an oral glucocorticoid, and/or a stable dose of methotrexate is permitted.
For subjects receiving an oral glucocorticoid: Glucocorticoids may be administered at a maximum dose of 0.2 mg of prednisone equivalent per kilogram per day or 10 mg per day for 2 weeks before baseline, whichever is lower.
For subjects receiving methotrexate (MTX) treatment: MTX may be administered either orally or parenterally at doses not to exceed 25 mg/wk or 20 mg/m2/week (whichever is lower); participants must have taken MTX for 3 months and be at a stable dose for at least 6 weeks before baseline. Subjects taking MTX must be taking folic acid or folinic acid in accordance with local standards.
For subjects with psoriatic arthritis, the following topical treatments for psoriasis are allowed: non-medicated emollients for use over the whole body; topical steroids including hydrocortisone and hydrocortisone acetate 1% for the palms, soles, face, and intertriginous areas only; tar, salicylic acid preparations, and shampoos free of corticosteroids are permitted only for the scalp.
3. Inadequate response or intolerance to at least one Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drug (DMARD), which may include MTX or biologic agents (see Appendix 1); in the case of ERA and psoriatic arthritis, inadequate response to Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs).
4. No evidence or history of untreated or inadequately treated active or latent tuberculosis (TB) infection as evidenced by the following:
a. A negative QuantiFERON -TB Gold In-Tube test performed within the 3 months prior to screening. A negative purified protein derivative (PPD) test can be substituted for the QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube test only if the central laboratory is unable to perform the test or cannot determine the results to be
positive or negative and the Pfizer medical m
1. Previous JIA treatment with tofacitinib.
2. Systemic JIA (sJIA) with any active systemic features other than active joints and elevated acute phase reactants within 6 months of enrollment.
3. Persistent oligoarthritis.
4. Undifferentiated JIA.
5. Infections:
a. Chronic infections;
b. Any infection requiring hospitalization, parenteral antimicrobial therapy or judged to be opportunistic by the investigator within the 6 months prior to the first dose of study drug;
c. Any treated infections within 2 weeks of baseline;
d. A subject known to be infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B, or Hepatitis C (see Section 7.2.7);
e. History of infected joint prosthesis with prosthesis still in situ.
6. History of recurrent (more than one episode) herpes zoster or disseminated (at least one episode) herpes zoster, or disseminated (at least one episode) herpes simplex.
7. Active uveitis (according to SUN criteria) within 3 months of enrollment.
8. Blood dyscrasias, including (see Appendix 6):
a. Hemoglobin <10 g/dL or Hematocrit <33%;
b. White Blood Cell count <3.0 x 109/L;
c. Neutrophil count <1.2 x 109/L;
d. Platelet count <100 x 109/L;
e. Lymphocyte count <0.75 x 109/L.
9. Estimated glomerular filtration rate [GFR] <40 mL/min/1.73 m2 at Screening. GFR will be calculated by the central lab using the bedside Schwartz formula (see Appendix 3).
10. Current or recent history of uncontrolled clinically significant renal, hepatic, hematologic, gastrointestinal, metabolic, endocrine, pulmonary, cardiac or neurologic disease.
11. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) = 1.5 times the upper limit of normal or any other clinically significant laboratory abnormality (see Appendix 6).
12. History of any other rheumatologic disease, other than Sjogren’s syndrome.
13. History or current symptoms suggestive of lymphoproliferative disorders (eg, Epstein Barr Virus [EBV] related lymphoproliferative disorder, lymphoma, leukemia, or signs and symptoms suggestive of current lymphatic disease).
14. Vaccinated or exposed to a live or attenuated vaccine within the 6 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug, or is expected to be vaccinated or to have household exposure to these vaccines during treatment or during the 6 weeks following discontinuation of study drug.
15. Subjects without documented evidence of having received at least one dose of the varicella vaccine in countries where the vaccine is approved and standard of care or those who do not have evidence of prior exposure to varicella zoster virus (VZV) based on serological testing (ie, VZV IgG Ab).
16. Current malignancy or history of any malignancy with the exception of adequately treated or excised basal cell or squamous cell or cervical cancer in situ.
17. Subjects who have previously failed more than 3 biologic therapies (with different mechanisms of action) for JIA.
18. Subjects with a first degree relative with a hereditary immunodeficiency; IgA deficiency not exclusionary.
19. Recent (within 28
