Title: Pediatric Rheumatology – Clinical Poster I: JIA (0241–0265)

Session Type: Poster Session A

Session Time: 8:30AM-10:30AM

Background/Purpose: Long-term treatment with abatacept, a selective T-cell co-stimulation modulator, is effective and well tolerated in patients with JIA.1–4 The objective of this analysis was to provide real-world data on the longitudinal effectiveness of intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SC) abatacept in patients with JIA, classified by category, enrolled in the Pediatric Rheumatology Collaborative Study Group (PRCSG)/Paediatric Rheumatology INternational Trials Organisation (PRINTO) registry.

Methods: Following a standardized protocol and data collection process, clinical sites across 23 countries enrolled patients with JIA receiving/initiating IV or SC abatacept with a planned 10-year duration of follow-up. Treatment response was assessed at 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months, and was evaluated in this analysis by clinical 10-joint Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score (cJADAS10). The cJADAS10 used validated cut-offs for low disease activity (LDA; ≤3.8), inactive disease (ID; ≤ 1.0)5, and remission (ID for ≥ 6 months). An as-observed analysis is presented.

Results: As of March 31, 2020, 569 patients were enrolled in the PRCSG/PRINTO registry; 454 (79.8%) were female. Mean age at enrollment was 13.1 years, mean time since JIA diagnosis was 66.1 months, and mean abatacept treatment duration was 13.1 months. Half of the patients (n = 289; 50.8%) had polyarticular RF− JIA and a quarter (n = 134; 23.6%) had extended oligoarticular JIA; other enrolled patients had polyarticular RF+ (n = 54; 9.5%), psoriatic (n = 26; 4.6%), enthesitis-related (n = 20; 3.5%), undifferentiated (n = 33; 5.8%), and systemic (n = 13; 2.3%) JIA. The treatment response (patient and parent cJADAS10 score) by JIA category from baseline to month 60 is shown in Table 1. The change in mean cJADAS10 score over time by JIA category (Figure 1) demonstrates a general trend towards reduced score over time. The proportions of patients achieving cJADAS10 LDA and ID by JIA category were generally improved or sustained over time (Figure 2). The low patient numbers in some JIA categories at later time points were mainly due to patients being lost to follow-up or not having reached those time points due to ongoing enrollment. At 60 months, 30% and 20% of patients with polyarticular RF− JIA (most prevalent category) had achieved and maintained cJADAS10 LDA and ID, respectively. Overall, 14.7% of patients achieved cJADAS10 remission by month 12; similar trends (7–22%) were seen in most JIA categories.

Conclusion: A proportion of patients in each JIA category achieved cJADAS10 LDA and ID. As sample size decreased over time in some JIA categories, these data should be interpreted with caution. Clinically important and sustained responses with abatacept, generally up to 36 and 48 months, were seen in all JIA categories.

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].
