Title: Pediatric Rheumatology - Clinical and Therapeutic Aspects: Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, Spondyloarthropathy and Miscellaneous Pediatric Rheumatic Diseases

Session Type: Abstract Submissions (ACR)

Background/Purpose Key objectives of biologic therapies in systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA) are to induce and maintain inactive disease, according to the ACR 2011 definition. Recent advances in the management of SJIA consider the induction or maintenance of inactive disease according to the JADAS 10-CRP (J10) or 27-CRP (J27) scoring system1, 2. The efficacy of canakinumab (CAN), a selective, human, anti-IL-1β monoclonal antibody, was demonstrated in the withdrawal phase of 2 phase III trials3, but was not evaluated at the individual level. Here,  we assessed the maintenance of efficacy at individual level from Week 2 to 12, using the adapted ACRJIA response criteria (aACR) as well as J10 and J27 on the 12-week pooled data set (3 phase III studies).

Methods For this post-hoc analysis of the CAN Phase III program in SJIA, the change in disease states between Day (D) 15 and D85 for a total of 178 CAN-naïve patients was assessed. Subjects were 2–19 years of age and had active SJIA at enrollment. This shift analysis considered the aACR response and disease activity states related to J10 and J27: Inactive Disease (ID), Low Disease Activity (LDA), Moderate Disease Activity (MDA); High Disease Activity (HDA).

Results

J10 changes during the study period are provided in Table 1. Results for the J27 were very similar to the J10 observations. The D15-D85 aACR shift analyses, including only patients who had a D15 and a D85 value, likewise indicated that the majority of patients maintained or improved their response: NR (n=32): 12.5% of patients improved; aACR30 (n=14): 0.0% were maintained/78.6% improved; aACR50 (n=21): 33.3% were maintained/42.9% improved; aACR70 (n=36): 25.0% were maintained/58.3% improved; aACR90 (n=26): 30.8% were maintained/57.7% improved; aACR100 (n=34): 82.4% were maintained.

Conclusion A majority of SJIA patients treated with CAN either maintained or improved their JADAS status or aACR response level from Week 2 to 12. These data confirm the consistent maintenance of efficacy of CAN at the individual level in the first 3 months, irrespective of the measure of treatment response, that is aACR criteria or JADAS-derived criteria, and extend previous findings at group level.

All abstracts accepted to ACR Convergence are under media embargo once the ACR has notified presenters of their abstract’s acceptance. They may be presented at other meetings or published as manuscripts after this time but should not be discussed in non-scholarly venues or outlets. The following embargo policies are strictly enforced by the ACR.

Accepted abstracts are made available to the public online in advance of the meeting and are published in a special online supplement of our scientific journal, Arthritis & Rheumatology. Information contained in those abstracts may not be released until the abstracts appear online. In an exception to the media embargo, academic institutions, private organizations, and companies with products whose value may be influenced by information contained in an abstract may issue a press release to coincide with the availability of an ACR abstract on the ACR website. However, the ACR continues to require that information that goes beyond that contained in the abstract (e.g., discussion of the abstract done as part of editorial news coverage) is under media embargo until 10:00 AM ET on November 14, 2024. Journalists with access to embargoed information cannot release articles or editorial news coverage before this time. Editorial news coverage is considered original articles/videos developed by employed journalists to report facts, commentary, and subject matter expert quotes in a narrative form using a variety of sources (e.g., research, announcements, press releases, events, etc.).

Violation of this policy may result in the abstract being withdrawn from the meeting and other measures deemed appropriate. Authors are responsible for notifying colleagues, institutions, communications firms, and all other stakeholders related to the development or promotion of the abstract about this policy. If you have questions about the ACR abstract embargo policy, please contact ACR abstracts staff at [email protected].
