•Patients with polyarticular course of any JIA subcategory (including extended oligoarthritis and polyarticular course of systemic JIA without systemic features) will be included at first confirmation of remission on medication, i.e. after clinically documented inactive disease (no joints with active arthritis; no fever, rash, serositis, splenomegaly, or generalized
•lymphadenopathy attributable to JIA; no active uveitis; no elevation in ESR or/and CRP attributable to JIA; physician’s global assessment of disease activity indicates no disease activity) for at least 6 months. Alternatively patients can be enrolled until 12 months (+/- 6 weeks) to ensure access to the study after 6 months of inactive disease. At the time remission is documented, patients may be ONLY on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) plus DMARDs and/or biologics at a stable dose. Only approved medication is allowed during the study. Steroids must have been withdrawn at least 1 month before remission is documented. Intraarticular joint injections should not have been performed 6 months before remission is documented. At inclusion into this study patients will be considered being in clinically documented remission on medication.
