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

Session Type: Poster Session A

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

Background/Purpose: Abatacept (ABA) is well tolerated and effective in patients with JIA.1 The Pediatric Rheumatology Collaborative Study Group (PRCSG)/ Paediatric Rheumatology INternational Trials Organisation (PRINTO) registry monitors long-term safety and efficacy of ABA for JIA treatment.2 The objective of this analysis was to assess long-term (5-year) safety and efficacy of ABA in patients with JIA in a real-world setting using data from the PRCSG/PRINTO registry.

Methods: All patients with JIA receiving IV/SC ABA enrolled in the PRCSG/PRINTO registry with ≥ 5 years follow-up were included. Safety and efficacy were assessed at 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months. Safety was evaluated by recording serious adverse events (SAEs), events of special interest (ESI; incidence rate [IR]/100 patient-years (py) [95% CI]) and anti-ABA antibody levels. Efficacy outcomes: physician global assessment of disease activity, physician assessment of JIA severity, Juvenile Arthritis Multidimensional Assessment Report (JAMAR) functionality score, overall well-being score, number of active joints, joints with limited range of motion (LOM), clinical 10-joint Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score (cJADAS10), and JIA-ACR30, 50, 70, and 90. cJADAS10 used validated cut-offs for low disease activity (LDA), inactive disease (ID), and remission (ID for ≥ 6 months). As-observed analysis is presented.

Results: Data for 569 patients (1214.61 py of follow-up) were available up to Mar 31, 2020. Baseline characteristics are summarized in Table 1. Over 60 months, IRs/100 py (95% CIs) of patients with ≥ 1 SAE, treatment-related SAE, or ESI were 5.5 (4.3–7.0), 1.3 (0.8–2.1), and 3.6 (2.6–4.9), respectively (Table 2). Overall, 5.9% (12/202) anti-ABA antibody tests were positive. From months 3–60, median physician global disease activity, number of active joints, and joints with LOM were unchanged. The proportion of patients with physician-assessed mild JIA increased from 86% to 96%; corresponding proportions of patients with moderate or severe JIA decreased from 11% to 4% and from 3% to 0%, respectively. Median JAMAR functional scores were 2.0 (patient) and 3.0 (parent) at month 3, and 1.0 each at month 60; a similar pattern was observed for overall well-being scores. Median cJADAS10 scores were 4.0 (patient) and 4.5 (parent) at baseline, and 4.3 (patient) and 3.3 (parent) at month 60. As early as month 3, cJADAS10 LDA and ID were achieved by 37% and 28% of patients, respectively, and sustained over time (Figure 1).

Conclusion: Overall, in patients with JIA, abatacept was well tolerated with no new safety signals. Treatment with abatacept resulted in well-controlled disease activity, with approximately 30% of patients achieving cJADAS10 ID by month 3, which was sustained over 2 years. For the majority of patients, initial improvement on abatacept occurred prior to registry enrollment; therefore the ability to maintain response with ongoing treatment is reflected. These real-world data support the safety and efficacy profile of abatacept as seen in clinical trials.

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].
