Verstegen RHJ, McMillan R, Feldman BM, Ito S, Laxer RM. Towards therapeutic drug monitoring of TNF inhibitors for children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: a scoping review. Rheumatology (Oxford) 2020; 59:386-397. [PMID: 31335941 DOI: 10.1093/rheumatology/kez285] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2019] [Accepted: 06/03/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Before a clinician decides whether treatment with TNF inhibition in children with JIA has failed, one should ensure adequate systemic exposure has been achieved. Therapeutic drug monitoring might allow for improved treatment outcome with lower treatment-associated costs. However, this requires understanding of the pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics, and the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationship for children with JIA. We performed a scoping review to summarize the available literature and identify areas for future research. METHODS A systematic search was conducted of the Medline, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane databases as well as the clinicaltrials.gov registry. In total, 3959 records were screened and 130 publications were selected for full text assessment. RESULTS Twenty publications were included and divided into three categories: PK (n = 9), PK/PD (n = 3) and anti-drug antibodies (n = 13). Industry involvement was significant in 14 publications. Although data are limited, systemic exposure to TNF inhibitors is generally lower in younger children but meta-analysis is not possible. The PK/PD relationship has had limited study but there is partial evidence for infliximab. Anti-drug antibodies are common, and are related to impaired clinical outcome with adalimumab and infliximab therapy. CONCLUSION The current knowledge about the PK and PK/PD of TNF inhibitors in the treatment of children with JIA is limited, which prevents the introduction of TDM. Re-analysis of available data from previous trials, incorporation of pharmacologic assessments into existing biorepository studies as well as new prospective PK and PK/PD trials are required to obtain this knowledge.

Efficacy and safety of switching from reference adalimumab to SB5 in a real-life cohort of inflammatory rheumatic joint diseases. Clin Rheumatol 2020; 40:85-91. [PMID: 32514676 DOI: 10.1007/s10067-020-05199-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2020] [Revised: 05/18/2020] [Accepted: 05/22/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE SB5 showed comparable efficacy and safety profile in respect to adalimumab originator (ADA) in randomized clinical trials of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriasis. We aimed to describe the efficacy and safety of SB5 after switching from ADA in RA, axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients. METHOD Adult RA, PsA, axSpA, JIA patients treated with ADA for at least 6 months, switched to SB5 in stable clinical conditions, were eligible. Data on safety, activity indexes and patient-reported outcomes were collected at baseline, 3 and 6 months after switching. RESULTS Eighty-two patients (19 RA, 28 PsA, 32 axSpA and 3 JIA; 45 females, mean age 54 ± 14 years, disease duration 13 ± 7 years, ADA duration 6 ± 3 years) were enrolled. RA patients showed stable conditions, while PsA patients showed an increase in both HAQ, DAS28(CRP) and DAPSA and axSpA patients an increase in VAS pain, VAS patient disease activity and ASDAS, both at 3 months. There were changes in the concomitant medications profile, with regression of activity indexes increases at 6 months. Adverse events were reported by 33.7% patients at 3 months and 16.6% patients at 6 months, mostly disease flares and infectious events. Two patients stopped SB5. CONCLUSIONS Despite temporary changes in the concomitant medication profile for mild disease flares, our real-life data replicate the safety profile of switching from ADA to SB5 in RA, with additional data for its applicability in PsA and axSpA patients, further supporting switching to biosimilars in treating inflammatory rheumatic conditions. Key Points • Switching from adalimumab originator to SB5 is feasible in real life rheumatic inflammatory joint diseases. • Mild disease flares can present after switching from originator adalimumab to SB5, in particular in axial spondyloarthritis and psoriatic arthritis. • Changes in concomitant medications profile allows the control of minor disease flares presenting after switching from adalimumab originator to SB5.

Abstract
Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) is a severe disorder now linked more to autoinflammation than to autoimmunity. Clinical and laboratory evidence support the pathogenetic role of interleukin-1 (IL-1), and blockade of this cytokine has proved to be very effective in the treatment of sJIA. There are now several agents that block IL-1 available on the market. This article reviews the efficacy and safety of these drugs for the treatment of sJIA on the basis of published data, and offers the current view on treating sJIA according to its different phenotypes. There are no head to head trials among the different IL-1 inhibitors, and although efficacy has been demonstrated for all of them, it is still unknown which one would be more appropriate for which particular situation. The presence of synovitis in addition to active systemic features might be relevant for these choices. In addition, complications such as macrophage activation syndrome can be important since, on one hand, it has been associated with biologic therapy administration and, on another, there have been some reports of this complication being treated with anti-IL-1. Current recommendations by the American College of Rheumatology are now outdated, and new ones are being prepared. In the meantime, basic and clinical research is advancing in order to identify new treatment targets and to evaluate the different protocols currently in use.

Patient satisfaction and clinical effectiveness of switching from intravenous tocilizumab to subcutaneous tocilizumab in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: an observational study. Rheumatol Int 2020; 40:1111-1116. [PMID: 32417938 DOI: 10.1007/s00296-020-04596-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2020] [Accepted: 05/04/2020] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a heterogeneous group of idiopathic inflammatory arthritis affecting children younger than 16 years of age. Tocilizumab (TCZ) is a humanized anti-interleukin 6 (IL-6) receptor antibody that was approved for systemic and polyarticular JIA patients. However, the studies regarding patients' satisfaction while receiving TCZ therapy is scarce. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the effect of subcutaneous (SC) TCZ administration on patient satisfaction and disease control of JIA patients. METHODS All JIA patients receiving TCZ were included in the study. Clinical features, laboratory findings and JADAS71 scores were recorded at baseline and every 3 months during follow-up. Nine of the patients on intravenous (IV) TCZ treatment were switched to SC form. All patients receiving TCZ-SC were questioned by a clinical nurse specialist (CNS) to assess patient satisfaction. RESULTS A total of 39 patients receiving TCZ were included in the study. Among them, treatment of nine patients (five female, four male) was switched to SC form with a median of 11.5 (8-69) months after initiation of TCZ. Patients were stable both clinically and in laboratory means at the 3rd month of TCZ-SC treatment. There was no deterioration in terms of active joint counts, physician's VAS, patient's VAS and JADAS71. According to patient satisfaction questionnaire, eight of the patients felt satisfied with SC administrations in terms of life quality, school success and reduced school absenteeism. However, one patient did not agree that the SC form is as effective as IV form and wanted to continue with IV form. CONCLUSION TCZ is an effective treatment option in JIA and switching from IV to SC route when necessary is found to be an effective and acceptable alternative by the patients as well.

Pediatr Rheumatol Online J 2020; 18:38. [PMID: 32398039 PMCID: PMC7218505 DOI: 10.1186/s12969-020-00427-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2019] [Accepted: 04/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) has many clinical features overlapping with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), which is caused by mutations in MEFV gene. And FMF patients were easily misdiagnosed as sJIA in China. So we speculate that MEFV is critical genetic background for sJIA and influences patients' severity. In this study, we aim to figure out whether MEFV mutations are risk factor for the occurrence of sJIA and to study the association of MEFV mutations with disease severity of sJIA patients. METHODS The present study includes 57 sJIA children and 2573 healthy controls. Odd ratio with 95% confidence interval based on allelic frequency of MEFV mutations or variants was used to evaluate their contribution to sJIA susceptibility. Meta-analysis was then performed to reach comprehensive conclusion. All included sJIA patients were grouped by presence and number of MEFV mutations. Clinical data and indicators of disease severity were compared among different groups. Multiple linear regression method was used to find out whether the number of MEFV variants is associated with the severity of sJIA. Kaplan-Meier curves and log rank test were used to estimate the probability of the first relapse. RESULTS The MEFV mutations of our subjects predominantly existed in exons 2 and 3. No significant difference was found in allelic frequency between sJIA children and healthy controls. Meta-analysis demonstrated that p.M694V/I was a risk factor for sJIA (pooled OR: 7.13, 95% CI: 3.01-16.89). The relative period of activity was significantly lower in the one mutation group than those with more than one mutation (p = 0.0194). However, no relevance was found in multiple linear regression models. CONCLUSIONS The mutation p.M694V/I in MEFV might be a risk factor for sJIA. SJIA patients carrying more than one heterozygous mutation in MEFV tend to be more severe than those containing only one, but studies in other cohort of patients need to be performed to validate it.

Abstract
Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis and adult-onset Still’s disease are rare autoinflammatory disorders with common features, supporting the recognition of these being one disease—Still’s disease—with different ages of onset. Anakinra was recently approved by the European Medicines Agency for Still’s disease. In this review we discuss the reasoning for considering Still’s disease as one disease and present anakinra efficacy and safety based on the available literature. The analysis of 27 studies showed that response to anakinra in Still’s disease was remarkable, with clinically inactive disease or the equivalent reported for 23–100% of patients. Glucocorticoid reduction and/or stoppage was reported universally across the studies. In studies on paediatric patients where anakinra was used early or as first-line treatment, clinically inactive disease and successful anakinra tapering/stopping occurred in >50% of patients. Overall, current data support targeted therapy with anakinra in Still’s disease since it improves clinical outcome, especially if initiated early in the disease course.

Abstract
Introduction: Secondary haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH) or Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS) is a life-threatening hyperinflammatory syndrome that can occur in patients with severe infections, malignancy or autoimmune diseases. It is also a rare complication of haematopoetic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), with a high mortality. It may be associated with graft vs. host disease in the allogeneic HSCT setting. It is also reported following CAR-T cell therapy, but differentiation from cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is challenging. Here, we summarise the literature and present results of a survey of current awareness and practice in EBMT-affiliated centres of sHLH/MAS following HSCT and CAR-T cell therapy. Methods: An online questionnaire was sent to the principal investigators of all EBMT member transplant centres treating adult patients (18 years and over) inviting them to provide information regarding: number of cases of sHLH/MAS seen in their centre over 3 years (2016-2018 inclusive); screening strategies and use of existing diagnostic/classification criteria and treatment protocols. Results: 114/472 centres from 24 different countries responded (24%). We report estimated rates of sHLH/MAS of 1.09% (95% CI = 0.89-1.30) following allogeneic HSCT, 0.15% (95% CI = 0.09-5.89) following autologous HSCT and 3.48% (95% CI = 0.95-6.01) following CAR-T cell therapy. A majority of centres (70%) did not use a standard screening protocol. Serum ferritin was the most commonly used screening marker at 78% of centres, followed by soluble IL-2 receptor (24%), triglycerides (15%), and fibrinogen (11%). There was significant variation in definition of "clinically significant" serum ferritin levels ranging from 500 to 10,000 μg/mL. The most commonly used criteria to support diagnosis were HLH-2004 (43%) and the H score (15%). Eighty percent of responders reported using no standard management protocol, but reported using combinations of corticosteroids, chemotherapeutic agents, cytokine blockade, and monoclonal antibodies. Conclusions: There is a remarkable lack of consistency between EBMT centres in the approach to screening, diagnosis and management. Further research in this field is needed to raise awareness of and inform harmonised, evidence-based approaches to the recognition and treatment of sHLH/MAS following HSCT/CAR-T cell therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Information is scarce about biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) switching patterns in children and young people (aged ≤16 years) with juvenile idiopathic arthritis in an era of many biologic therapies. The best choice of biologic to use if the first biological DMARD is not beneficial also remains unclear. We aimed to quantify and characterise biologic switching patterns in children and young people with juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and to compare the effectiveness of using a second tumour necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) versus non-TNF is following failure of a first TNFi biologic in routine clinical practice. METHODS Our study population comprised patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis who were enrolled in two parallel UK cohort studies (the British Society for Paediatric and Adolescent Rheumatology Etanercept Cohort Study [BSPAR-ETN] and the Biologics for Children with Rheumatic Diseases [BCRD] study) between Jan 1, 2004, and April 11, 2019. Data on disease characteristics and DMARD therapy were collected at the time of initiation of a first biologic, at 6 months, at 1 year, and annually thereafter. Biologic switching patterns were described in all patients who started their first biologic from Jan 1, 2010, onwards. Among patients who started treatment with their first biologic from Jan 1, 2004, onwards, had polyarticular course juvenile idiopathic arthritis (extended oligoarthritis or polyarthritis [positive or negative for rheumatoid factor]), and who had started a second biologic, we assessed changes in outcome variables at 6 months compared with baseline and compared the proportion of patients who achieved an American College of Rheumatology Pediatric (ACR Pedi) 90 response and minimal disease activity at 6 months on the basis of the class of the second biologic (a second TNFi vs non-TNFi biologic). Changes in outcome variables at 6 months were compared using linear regression or logistic regression, adjusted for propensity quintiles to account for confounding by indication. We used multiple imputation to account for missing data. FINDINGS Between Jan 1, 2004, and April 11, 2019, 2361 patients were enrolled on initiation of biologic therapy. From Jan 1, 2010, onwards, 1152 patients started their first biologic, most of whom started treatment with TNFis (1050 [91%]). The median follow-up was 2·2 years (IQR 1·1-3·8). During this time, 270 (23%) of 1152 patients started a second biologic, 61 (5%) started a third biologic, and 11 (1%) started a fourth biologic. Among 240 patients with polyarticular-course juvenile idiopathic arthritis, 194 (81%) started a second TNFi and 46 (19%) started a non-TNFi after an initial TNFi had failed. Choice of second treatment (second TNFi vs non-TNFi biologic) did not affect the proportion of patients who achieved an ACR Pedi 90 response (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 2·5, 95% CI 0·8-7·9; p=0·11) or minimal disease activity (adjusted OR 1·6, 95% CI 0·6-3·8; p=0·33). INTERPRETATION For many children and young people with juvenile idiopathic arthritis, treatment with a first or second biologic is not beneficial. We found no evidence that switching to a second non-TNFi biologic was more beneficial than a second TNFi. FUNDING Versus Arthritis and The British Society for Rheumatology.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW Kawasaki disease (KD) is a childhood systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology that causes coronary artery aneurysms (CAA), and if left undiagnosed can result in long-term cardiovascular complications and adult cardiac disease. Up to 20% of KD children fail to respond to IVIG, the mainstay of therapy, highlighting the need for novel therapeutic strategies. Here we review the latest findings in the field regarding specific etiology, genetic associations, and advancements in treatment strategies to prevent coronary aneurysms. RECENT FINDINGS Recent discoveries using the Lactobacillus casei cell wall extract (LCWE)-induced KD vasculitis mouse model have accelerated the study of KD pathophysiology and have advanced treatment strategies including clinical trials for IL-1R antagonist, Anakinra. KD remains an elusive pediatric vasculitis syndrome and is the leading cause of acquired heart disease among children in the USA and developed countries. Advancements in combination treatment for refractory KD with further understanding of novel genetic risk factors serve as a solid foundation for future research endeavors in the field.

Abstract
A 9-year-old African American boy was admitted to hospital with a 12-day history of fevers, diarrhea, abdominal pain and a 1-day history of joint pain. His abdominal pain and diarrhea resolved within the first few days of admission, but he continued with high-grade fevers and intermittent joint pain. The joints affected included the right first interphalangeal joint, right wrist, right elbow, and left knee joint. His initial laboratory tests revealed normal complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, and C-reactive protein. Consequently, he developed fatigue, lower back pain, and bicytopenias. After 19 days of fevers, a multispecialty collaborative evaluation arrived at a final diagnosis and treatment plan. In this article, we discuss the child's hospital course and our clinical thought process. Written consent was obtained from the family.

Abstract
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute, febrile illness of unknown etiology that mainly affects children under 5 years of age. intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), the standard treatment, has reduced coronary involvement to <5%. Patients who do not improve after an initial IVIG have a higher risk of developing coronary arteries aneurysms, and its optimal treatment remains controversial. We present a case of IVIG, steroids, and infliximab-resistant KD in a 9-month-old child, which developed giant aneurysms and was successfully treated with anakinra, a recombinant antagonist of the IL-1 receptor. In our case, the introduction of IL-1 receptor antagonist therapy seems to have blocked the disease from both a clinical and a laboratory point of view. We also noted a very rapid regression of coronary aneurysms passed from giant aneurysms to small ones, or, as in the case of the anterior descending artery, the complete disappearance of the aneurysm formation. We think that our case adds more evidences to the potential role of IL-1RA as therapy in some selected cases of refractory KD, in particular with severe involvement of coronary arteries, although new efficacy trials are needed to better understand the role of Anakinra in these patients.

Abstract
There are many sepsis-like inflammatory syndromes that may be encountered by critical care practitioners. Clinically, these syndromes may imitate sepsis and are often identified after an extensive, but unrevealing evaluation for infection. In some instances, these syndromes are anticipated complications of advanced therapies for malignancy. It is vitally important to identify these disorders and treat them with specific chemotherapeutic or immunomodulating therapies. This chapter will focus on hemophagocytic lympho-histiocytosis (HLH), a rare disorder of pathologic immune system activation that presents as a sepsis-like illness in the critically ill. While treatment of HLH with chemotherapy and immunosuppression should be guided by an expert hematologist, the diagnosis is often made by the critical care medicine practitioner. We present a case illustrating the challenges of defining this syndrome in a patient with recurrent critical illness, and review the evidence underlying diagnostic and prognostic criteria for this protean syndrome. We also review several of the more common sepsis-like inflammatory syndromes that are encountered in the critical care unit along with their specific treatments.

Abstract
Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a hyperinflammatory syndrome, which if not promptly treated, can lead rapidly to critical illness and death. HLH is termed macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) when associated with rheumatic disease (where it is best characterized in systemic JIA) and secondary HLH (sHLH) when associated with other triggers including malignancy and infection. MAS/sHLH is rare and coupled with its mimicry of other conditions, is underrecognized. These inherent challenges can lead to diagnostic and management challenges in multiple medical specialties including haematology, infectious diseases, critical care and rheumatology. In this review we highlight the pathogenesis of MAS/sHLH including its underlying triggers, key clinical features and diagnostic challenges, prognostic factors and current treatments in adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study evaluates Performance Measures (PMs) for Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA): The percentage of patients with new onset JIA with at least one visit to a pediatric rheumatologist in the first year of diagnosis (PM1); and the percentage of patients with JIA under rheumatology care seen in follow-up at least once per year (PM2). METHODS Validated JIA case ascertainment algorithms were used to identify cases from provincial health administrative databases in Manitoba, Canada in patients < 16 years between 01/04/2005 and 31/03/2015. PM1: Using a 3-year washout period, the percentage of incident JIA patients with ≥1 visit to a pediatric rheumatologist in the first year was calculated. For each fiscal year, the proportion of patients expected to be seen in follow-up who had a visit were calculated (PM2). The proportion of patients with gaps in care of > 12 and > 14 months between consecutive visits were also calculated. RESULTS One hundred ninety-four incident JIA cases were diagnosed between 01/04/2008 and 03/31/2015. The median age at diagnosis was 9.1 years and 71% were female. PM1: Across the years, 51-81% of JIA cases saw a pediatric rheumatologist within 1 year. PM2: Between 58 and 78% of patients were seen in yearly follow-up. Gaps > 12, and > 14, months were observed once during follow-up in 52, and 34%, of cases, and ≥ twice in 11, and 5%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Suboptimal access to pediatric rheumatologist care was observed which could lead to diagnostic and treatment delays and lack of consistent follow-up, potentially negatively impacting patient outcomes.

Correlations between serum interleukin 6, serum soluble interleukin 6 receptor, and disease activity in systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis patients treated with or without tocilizumab. Cent Eur J Immunol 2019; 44:150-158.

Abstract
Introduction Interleukin (IL)-6 is a proinflammatory cytokine involved in systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA). Since these patients are often treated with tocilizumab (TCZ), anti-IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) antibody, we investigated correlations between serum IL-6 and soluble IL-6R-levels and disease activity in SJIA patients treated with or without TCZ. Material and methods 164 serum samples were taken from 42 SJIA patients treated with or without TCZ (69 and 95 samples, respectively). Patients were assigned to three groups according to disease status: 1) systemic (patients with systemic features and/or arthritis), 2) arthritis (patients with arthritis but no systemic features), and 3) inactive (clinically inactive disease). Disease activity was assessed using the Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score-27 (JADAS-27) at the time of blood collection. Results IL-6 levels were highest in SJIA patients with predominant systemic features, while serum sIL-6R levels were highest in patients with persistent arthritis. Serum IL-6 correlated with JADAS-27 in patients treated with and without TCZ (r = 0.38 and r = 0.65, respectively), whereas serum sIL-6R levels correlated with JADAS-27 in patients treated without (r = 0.30) but not with (r = −0.14) TCZ. The sIL-6R/IL-6 ratio negatively correlated with JADAS-27 in patients treated with and without TCZ (r = –0.49 and r = –0.56, respectively). Conclusions Serum IL-6 levels correlated more strongly with disease activity parameters than did sIL-6R levels and could be useful for monitoring disease activity in SJIA patients. The sIL-6R/IL-6 ratio might be a promising disease activity marker in both SJIA patients treated with and without TCZ.

Abstract
AIM Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) is a distinctive subtype of JIA characterized by systemic features and poor outcome. We aimed to investigate demographic and clinical features, long-term treatment response and disease complications in a large sJIA cohort. METHODS Patients diagnosed with sJIA followed up at a pediatric rheumatology outpatient department from January 2003 to December 2017 were included. Demographic and clinical features, long-term treatment response and disease complications were retrospectively collected. RESULTS A total of 168 sJIA patients (51.8% female, 48.2% male) were included: 31.5% with monocyclic, 13.7% polycyclic and 54.8% with persistent clinical course. Corticosteroids were initially used in all patients. Methotrexate was used in 75% and cyclosporine A was used in 17.3% patients. Biological drugs were used in 42.8% patients; etanercept in 29.7%, anakinra in 16%, canakinumab in 16%, tocilizumab in 10% patients. Remission off medication was achieved in 82 (48.8%). Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) was present in 11.9%, growth retardation in 11.3% patients. Eight percent (4/50) of patients had low bone mineral density. Three patients (1.78%) died due to MAS secondary multiorgan insufficiency and infection. CONCLUSION The disease is characterized with diverse clinical presentation and possibly severe complications. MAS complicated with multiorgan insufficiency is the major mortality factor. Corticosteroids represent the mainstay of the initial treatment. In patients resistant to classic treatment, biological drugs should be timely introduced.

Abstract
Objectives: Treatment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis has changed rapidly since the introduction of various biologics almost twenty years ago. Many clinical trials have been performed to monitor efficacy and safety of new agents. The aim of this review is to summarize safety concerns, which were observed during prospective clinical trials. Methods: Since etanercept was the first biologic approved and remains the most frequently used, as first biologic in polyarticular JIA patients, the authors calculated the relative risk of the adverse events for all examined biologicals and compared the values with the value of etanercept. Results: Relative rates for all adverse events showed similar rates for etanercept, infliximab, golimumab, and tocilizumab, whereas adalimumab showed higher rates and abatacept lower rates. Comparison of rates for serious adverse events demonstrated, that rates seemed comparable for etanercept, adalimumab, infliximab, and tocilizumab. Again, abatacept showed a lower rate, whereas golimumab seems to have a higher relative risk for serious adverse events. Rate of infection was lowest in patients treated with abatacept or tocilizumab, patients treated with etanercept, adalimumab and Infliximab again had similar rates. Conclusion: The safety profiles of actually approved biologics are highly acceptable. However, further observation, especially long-term observation through registry studies, is required.

Abstract
Purpose: To describe health care resource utilization (HCRU) and costs among patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) compared to patients without JIA and to describe treatment patterns among JIA patients who initiated biologic and non-biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Patients and methods: The IBM MarketScan® Commercial Database was used to identify patients aged 2-17 years with a new JIA diagnosis (index date) and 12 months continuous enrollment pre- and post-diagnosis from 2008 to 2016. JIA patients were matched to non-JIA patients on age, gender, region, and health plan type. Patients with other rheumatic or autoimmune conditions were excluded. Receipt of a biologic and/or non-biologic was evaluated on or after the new JIA diagnosis. Results: A total of 3,815 JIA patients were matched to 11,535 non-JIA patients (mean age 10.0 [SD=4.5], 69% female). Average total costs were greater for JIA patients than non-JIA controls ($18,611 [SD=$42,104; median=$8,189] versus $2,203 [SD=$9,309; median=$649], p<0.001). Outpatient pharmacy costs were 33.6% of the total costs among JIA patients compared to 18.4% among non-JIA patients (p<0.001). The proportion of inpatient cost (11.4% versus 14.3%, p<0.001) and outpatient costs (55% versus 67.4%, p<0.001) of total costs was lower among JIA patients compared to non-JIA patients. Patients with 12 months of continuous enrollment post-treatment initiation (n=2,014) were classified as non-biologic only (n=734), biologic only (n=873), and both biologic and non-biologic (n=407) users. Among biologic and non-biologic users, 41.1% and 56.8% were persistent on their index medication for 12 months. Of patients treated with a biologic only, TNF inhibitors (TNFi) comprised 87.1% of the total treatment costs. Conclusion: JIA is associated with increased costs and utilization in every HCRU category compared to matched non-JIA patients. While JIA-related costs varied by treatment cohort, patients on biologic DMARDs had substantially higher costs than patients on non-biologic DMARDs and fewer than one-half were persistent at 12 months after biologic initiation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a chronic inflammatory disease resulting in physical and psychological disability. This study aimed to measure the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and identify factors influencing the HRQOL. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study in Thai children with JIA and their parents between January and December 2015, using the Thai version of the Pediatrics Quality of Life (PedsQL) 4.0 generic core scale. RESULTS Sixty-five children (33 girls and 32 boys) were included. The median age of the children was 9.6 (interquartile range [IQR] 6.4-12.3) years and the median disease duration was 1.1 (IQR 0.2-2.2) years. The physical health subscale had the lowest score, with a median (range) of 78.1 (34.4-100). Twenty-five (45.4%) children were classified as having suboptimal HRQOL. The school functioning subscale had the lowest score, at 60 (25-100) reported by parents. High disease activity and a disease duration <1 year were significantly associated with suboptimal HRQOL reported by parents, with adjusted odds ratios (ORs) of 20.2 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.4, 291.7) and 5.9 (95% CI 1.2, 33.3), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Almost half of Thai children with JIA had suboptimal HRQOL. The physical health score was the lowest subscale reported by the children. Early, effective management of disease activity could improve the HRQOL in children with JIA.

Abstract
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a chronic childhood arthritis. Its pathogenesis is very complicated, with the involvement of not only immune cells but various types of parenchymal cells, and is affected by both genetic and environmental predispositions. The clinical spectrum from inflammation to related conditions is largely mediated by cytokines including interleukin (IL)-6. Fluctuations in IL-6 and its related molecules can modulate the pathogenesis and the clinical presentation positively or negatively. The recent clinical impact of IL-6 blockade on JIA has begun a therapeutic paradigm shift. This review describes the characteristics of JIA, mainly focused on IL-6 with the current therapeutic perspective.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop treatment recommendations for children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis manifesting as non-systemic polyarthritis, sacroiliitis, or enthesitis. METHODS The Patient/Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcomes (PICO) questions were developed and refined by members of the guideline development teams. A systematic review was conducted to compile evidence for the benefits and harms associated with treatments for these conditions. GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) methodology was used to rate the quality of evidence. A group consensus process was conducted among the Voting Panel to generate the final recommendations and grade their strength. A Parent and Patient Panel used a similar consensus approach to provide patient/caregiver preferences for key questions. RESULTS Thirty-nine recommendations were developed (8 strong and 31 conditional). The quality of supporting evidence was very low or low for 90% of the recommendations. Recommendations are provided for the use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, biologics, and intraarticular and oral glucocorticoids. Recommendations for the use of physical and occupational therapy are also provided. Specific recommendations for polyarthritis address general medication use, initial and subsequent treatment, and adjunctive therapies. Good disease control, with therapeutic escalation to achieve low disease activity, was recommended. The sacroiliitis and enthesitis recommendations primarily address initial therapy and adjunctive therapies. CONCLUSION This guideline provides direction for clinicians, caregivers, and patients making treatment decisions. Clinicians, caregivers, and patients should use a shared decision-making process that accounts for patients' values, preferences, and comorbidities. These recommendations should not be used to limit or deny access to therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic autoinflammatory diseases (SAIDs) are rare debilitating disorders of which there is limited awareness and a significant delay in diagnosis. There is no uniform approach in the diagnosis and treatment of these disorders and the real life state of SAID patient care is poorly characterized. The aim of this study was to obtain data on the epidemiology, state of care and the perception of physicians who are involved in the care of SAID patients. METHODS We performed a questionnaire-based survey and contacted 134 university departments of dermatology, pediatrics, rheumatology and other SAID departments of tertiary care in German-speaking countries. RESULTS A total of 37 departments participated in the survey. The majority of departments managed both adult and pediatric patients with a variety of monogenic and polygenic/acquired SAIDs. For monogenic SAIDs such as cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS) and familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), the diagnostic and treatment strategies were similar among the departments. The diagnostic work-up included inflammatory markers and genetic testing, the first line treatment interleukin-1 (IL-1) blockers for CAPS and colchicine for FMF. For polygenic/acquired SAIDs, we observed a significant heterogeneity in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. As a major unmet need, diagnostic delay was identified with a median time to diagnosis of 2 (range 1-5) years. The overall state of care for SAID patients was rated to be excellent or good by only 12% of departments, and to be poor or non-sufficient by 40% of departments. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates a high need to improve the state of care and to harmonize diagnostic and treatment strategies for SAID patients.

Abstract
In this narrative review, we overview the recent literature on enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA). For the purpose of our review, we searched Scopus for recent articles on this subject from 2013 onward, including some classic older articles for perspective. ERA is a juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) subtype more common in males, associated in a majority with human leucocyte antigen B27. Such children generally present with asymmetric oligoarthritis or polyarthritis, predominantly of lower limb joints, associated with enthesitis or sacroiliitis. While diagnosis remains clinical, ultrasound is being increasingly used to detect subclinical enthesitis and for guiding entheseal site injections. Spine MRI can help detect sacroiliitis, inflammatory spinal changes, and pelvic sites of enthesitis in such patients. The recent juvenile spondyloarthropathy disease activity index recognizes the key clinical features of ERA, viz enthesitis and inflammatory back pain, which other disease activity indices used in JIA did not include. Management includes NSAIDs with physical therapy. Conventional disease-modifying agents like sulfasalazine and methotrexate may be used to minimize duration of NSAID use and in those with high inflammatory burden. In patients refractory to these drugs, biologics such as antitumor necrosis factor alpha agents have proven useful, based on evidences from randomized controlled trials and retrospective registry analyses. Factors predicting a poorer outcome in such children include hip or ankle involvement or restricted spinal mobility. Considering that children with ERA have overall poorer long-term outcomes than other subtypes of JIA, there is a need to further optimize therapeutic strategies for such patients.

Abstract
Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) is an autoinflammatory disease characterised by fever and arthritis. We describe the case of a 14-year-old girl hospitalised with fever associated with rash, myalgia, arthralgia and polyarticular involvement. Examinations revealed increased levels of C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, ferritin, triglycerides, leukocytes, neutrophils, lactate dehydrogenase, fibrinogen, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT). Bone marrow biopsy showed polyclonal leukocyte activation. A genetic study revealed a heterozygous mutation of the MEFV gene, c.442G>C (E148Q), which is typical of familial Mediterranean fever. However, the genetic pattern was not associated with a history of recurrent fever, aphthous ulcers of the mouth, abdominal pain, arthralgia and rash. Therefore, a diagnosis of sJIA was made. The patient did not respond to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Corticosteroids improved biochemical examinations; however, AST, ALT, GGT and glycaemia remained elevated and adverse effects of corticosteroid treatment became evident and therefore corticosteroids were withdrawn. Canakinumab (150 mg/4 weeks subcutaneously) was initiated. Biochemical data returned to normal values and clinical symptoms resolved. After 2.5 years of canakinumab treatment, complete disease remission allowed the prolongation of intervals between doses. When the intervals were longer than 10 weeks we discontinued the treatment. The patient is still in remission 2 years after canakinumab withdrawal.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess whether treatment with biologic response modifying agents during clinical trial study periods increases the risk of serious infections in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). STUDY DESIGN A systematic literature review using Medline, Embase, Cochrane library, and the clinical trial registry was performed up to July 2017. Random effects meta-analyses were used to compare rates of serious infections in children with JIA given biologic agents compared with controls, and the pooled relative risk calculated. Subanalyses were performed for different biologic agent classes. RESULTS In total, 19 trials accounting for 21 individual studies were included (11 for tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors [n = 814 patients], 3 for interleukin-6 inhibitors [n = 318], 6 for interleukin-1 inhibitors [n = 353], and 1 for selective T-lymphocyte costimulation modulators [n = 122]). Patients (68% female) had a mean age of 10.8 years. Seventeen serious infections were reported among 810 children receiving biologic agents and 15 among 797 controls. The most frequent infections were bronchopulmonary and varicella. No statistically significant difference in risk of serious infections was found between children receiving biologic agents compared with control groups (pooled relative risk = 1.13; 95% CI [0.63, 2.03]) during the trial study periods. The risk remained nonsignificant when evaluating the different classes of biologic agents separately. However, the analyses were underpowered to detect differences in the risk of serious infections overall or differences between classes of biologic agents. CONCLUSIONS In this systematic review and meta-analyses, serious infections were uncommon and not significantly increased among patients with JIA receiving biologic agents compared with controls. However, the analyses were underpowered and study periods were relatively short. Ongoing careful monitoring for serious infections remains necessary for all patients with JIA, and particularly those receiving biologic agents.

Abstract
Autoimmunity is becoming an increasingly recognized complication in patients with primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs), including a variety of combined immune deficiencies such as Recombination Activating Gene (RAG) defects. The approach to treating autoimmunity in PID patients is complex, requiring a balance between immunosuppression and susceptibility to infection. Inflammatory arthritis is a feature of immune dysregulation in many PIDs, and the optimal treatment may differ from first line therapies that usually consist of disease-modifying anti rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). An example of mechanism-based therapy of arthritis in PID uses blockade of IL-6 signaling with tocilizumab for patients with STAT 3 gain-of-function (GOF) mutation and augmented IL-6 pathway. Herein, we describe two PID cases with arthritis who were found to have defects in RAG. One patient with refractory inflammatory arthritis experienced remarkable improvement in symptoms with tocilizumab therapy. Arthritis can be a clinical feature of immune dysregulation in RAG deficiency, and tocilizumab therapy has been suggested to have utility in treatment of arthritis in RAG deficiency.

Abstract
Introduction: Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in the pathogenesis of many inflammatory diseases. Several drugs blocking TNF-α are employed in clinical practice in pediatrics. Given their action on the immune system, TNF-α inhibitors have raised concerns on their safety profile since their introduction. A broad spectrum of side effects related to TNF inhibition has been reported: immunogenicity, infectious diseases, malignancies, and others. Areas covered: In order to assess the risk related to the use of anti-TNF-α agents in children with rheumatic diseases we analyzed data obtained from retrospective and prospective safety studies, case reports and case series, and controlled trials. Expert commentary: Anti-TNF-α agents have shown a remarkably good safety profile in the pediatric population so far. However, there are lots of questions to be answered and maintaining active surveillance on these drugs is necessary in order to not overlook any possible unexpected adverse effects.

Abstract
The EU indication for anakinra has been extended to include Still’s disease, a serious rare inflammatory disorder of unknown aetiology that comprises adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD) and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA). As activated interleukin-1 pathways are associated with the systemic manifestations of these disorders, targeted treatment with anakinra, an interleukin-1 inhibitor, has been investigated. Across clinical and real-world studies in patients with AOSD and SJIA, treatment with anakinra achieved clinical remission/response, provided rapid and sustained improvements in systemic and laboratory manifestations, and allowed the use of corticosteroid- and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARD) to be reduced or discontinued. The safety profile of anakinra in the treatment of Still’s disease is consistent with that in its other approved indications.

Abstract
To analyze our cohort of patients with systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SoJIA) and investigate the impact of biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (BDMARDs) on disease course. Children who were diagnosed with SoJIA according to International League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR) criteria in Boston Children's Hospital between January 1996 and December 2015 were included. Data were collected from patients' charts retrospectively. Demographic features, disease course, and medication usage were identified. There were 76 patients who met ILAR criteria. Most common presenting features were fever (100%), arthralgia (92%), rash (87%), and arthritis (83%). Median follow-up was 69 months. At last visit, 18% still had active disease. Disease course was monophasic in 18 patients (24%), persistent in 24 patients (32%), and polycyclic in 34 patients (45%). Thirty-three percent (n, 6) of children with monophasic disease was diagnosed before 2004 and 67% (n, 12) was diagnosed after 2004 (p = 0.08). Sixty-six percent was treated with a BDMARD. Anakinra (37%) was the most common prescribed BDMARD. Monophasic disease was less common in patients treated with a BDMARD (n, 6, 12%) compared to children not treated with a BDMARD (n, 12, 46%) (p = 0.01). BDMARDs are started earlier (rs, - 0.67; p < 0.001) and diagnosis of SoJIA is made sooner after symptom onset in recent years (rs, - 0.37; p = 0.001). Most patients in our cohort were able to achieve remission. Proportion of monophasic disease tends to increase after 2004 although not statistically significant. In recent years, physicians tend to diagnose SoJIA earlier and treat more aggressively early in the course of the disease with BMARDs. Future prospective research in larger cohorts investigating the effects of BDMARDs on disease course and predictive factors for outcome is needed.

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: A Focus on Pharmacologic Management. J Pediatr Health Care 2018; 32:515-528.

Abstract
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is a chronic condition that affects many pediatric patients. It is a prevalent disease and has become the most common rheumatologic disease of childhood. The condition encompasses multiple different forms of chronic arthritides classified based on the location and number of joints affected as well as the presence or lack of a number of different inflammatory markers. The exact etiology is unknown but is thought to be multifactorial with genetic, humoral, and environmental factors playing a key role. Many pharmacologic agents are available for use in the treatment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, with management involving the use of symptom-reducing agents and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. Treatment is not without adverse events, with many of the agents require monitoring regimens and patient education. Without treatment, the progression and chronicity of the disease can result in significant morbidity, with the potential for devastating consequences on the child's quality of life.

Abstract
Juvenile arthritis with unknown disease etiology is also known as juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Symptoms include joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, and standard treatment involves immunosuppressant medication. Here we present a case of juvenile idiopathic arthritis with severe malnutrition and worsening of symptoms, which restrained a nine-year-old girl to a wheelchair with minimal movement capacity and low energy during standard immunosuppressant therapies over the course of three years. Our innovative Pathogen Blood Test combining cytology-based microscopy and genetic analysis using a pan-fungal primer assay and sequencing identified a systemic fungal infection with Sagenomella species, closely related to Aspergillus, and a soil-dwelling highly pathogenic fungus, which had previously been linked to a fatal veterinary case of arthritis and malnutrition. Our test results encouraged a radical change of the patient's treatment plan, including cessation of the regular immunosuppressants, including steroids, over six months. The patient made a progressive recovery, including complete reversion of the previously swollen and painful joints, development of a good appetite, and return to liveliness. Within the year of change from immunosuppressants to immune-supportive integrative nutritional therapies, including regular intravenous vitamin C, and oral vitamin D, as well as gentle aqua- and physiotherapy, the patient started to gain weight including muscle mass and regained strength and movement in the hands, arms, and legs. She was able to walk again within 18 months. Her mood and energy levels continued to improve and she was able to return to school full-time.

Abstract
Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) is a distinctive subtype of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, characterized by fever and arthritis, often accompanied by rash, sometimes by generalized lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, and serositis. The diagnosis requires adequate exclusion of infectious, oncologic, autoimmune, and autoinflammatory diseases. Macrophage activation syndrome, a serious and potentially fatal complication of sJIA, requires prompt evaluation and treatment. Newer biologic agents, particularly interleukin-1 and interleukin-6 inhibitors, are highly effective and have transformed the treatment approach by reducing the use of systemic glucocorticoids. Primary care providers have a crucial role in monitoring children with sJIA for disease-related complications and medication-related adverse events.

Abstract
The practice of rheumatology in a country like India presents its own unique challenges, including the need to manage patients in a cost-constrained setting, where the lack of uniform government funding for healthcare merits the need to optimize the use of cheaper medicines, as well as devise innovative strategies to minimize the use of costlier drugs such as biologic disease-modifying agents. Use of immunosuppressive agents is also associated with increased risks of infectious complications, such as the reactivation of tuberculosis. In this narrative review, we provide a flavor of such challenges unique to Rheumatology practice in India, and review the published literature on the management of common rheumatic diseases from India. In addition, we critically review existing guidelines for the management of rheumatic diseases from this part of the world. We also discuss infectious etiologies of rheumatic complaints, such as leprosy, tuberculosis, and Chikungunya arthritis, which are often encountered here, and pose a diagnostic as well as therapeutic challenge for clinicians. There remains a need to identify and test more cost-effective strategies for Indian patients with rheumatic diseases, as well as the requirement for more government participation to enhance scant facilities for the treatment of such diseases as well as foster the development of healthcare services such as specialist nurses, occupational therapists and physiotherapists to enable better management of these conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Conventional pharmacological therapies for the treatment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) consist of non-biological, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, among which methotrexate (MTX) is the most commonly prescribed. However, there is a lack of consensus-based clinical and therapeutic recommendations for the use of MTX in the management of patients with JIA. Therefore, the Methotrexate Advice and RecommendAtions on Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (MARAJIA) Expert Meeting was convened to develop evidence-based recommendations for the use of MTX in the treatment of JIA. METHODS The preliminary executive committee identified a total of 9 key clinical issues according to the population, intervention, comparator, outcome (PICO) approach, and performed an evidence-based, systematic, literature review. During the subsequent Expert Meeting, the relevant evidence was assessed and graded, and 10 recommendations were made. RESULTS Recommendations relating to the efficacy, optimal dosing and route of administration and duration of treatment with MTX in JIA, and to the issue of folic acid supplementation to prevent MTX side effects, use of MTX in the treatment of chronic JIA-associated uveitis, combination treatment with biologic agents, and the use of vaccinations in patients with JIA were developed. The selected topics were considered to represent clinically important issues facing clinicians caring for patients with JIA. Evidence was insufficient to formulate recommendations for the use of biomarkers predictive of treatment response. CONCLUSIONS These consensus recommendations provide balanced and evidence-based recommendations designed to have broad value for physicians and healthcare clinicians involved in the clinical management of patients with JIA.

A 6-month, multicenter, open-label study of fixed dose naproxen/esomeprazole in adolescent patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Pediatr Rheumatol Online J 2018; 16:41.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is an inflammatory arthritis of unknown etiology, which lasts for greater than 6 weeks with onset before 16 years of age. JIA is the most common chronic rheumatic disease in children. NSAIDs have been the mainstay of initial management with naproxen (NAP) being commonly used, but they may cause serious side effects such as gastric ulcers which can be reduced by concomitant administration of proton pump inhibitors, such as esomeprazole (ESO). METHODS Primary objective was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 3 fixed doses of NAP/ESO in JIA patients aged 12 to 16 years. Forty-six children and adolescents with JIA by International League of Associations for Rheumatology criteria, mean age of 13.6 years, from 18 US sites were prospectively enrolled over 2 years and followed for up to 6 months. Doses of the NAP/ESO fixed combination were based on baseline weight. The exploratory efficacy outcome was assessed with the ACR Pediatric-30, - 50, - 70, - 90 Response and the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ) discomfort and functional scores at months 1, 3, and 6 as change from baseline. Occurrence and causality were assessed for treatment emergent AEs (TEAEs) and discontinuations were monitored monthly. RESULTS Forty-six patients received at least 1 dose of naproxen/esomeprazole and 36 completed the trial. Thirty-seven (80.4%) had at least 1 treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) and, with the exception of 2 events in one patient, all of the TEAEs were mild or moderate. Frequent TEAEs (≥5% of patients) were upper respiratory tract and gastrointestinal related. Eleven (23.9%) had at least 1 TEAE considered to be related to study drug. Four patients (8.7%) discontinued due to a TEAE with one of these being the only serious AE reported, acute hepatitis. Mean number of active joints at baseline was 3.1. Improvement in JIA signs and symptoms occurred at most assessments and by month 6, the percentage of patients with an ACR Pediatric-30, - 50, - 70, and - 90 Response was 47.1, 38.2, 32.4, and 17.6%, respectively. The percent of patients achieving ACR Pediatric response increased over time. CHAQ discomfort improved at each assessment and functional scores improved at all assessments for 'Arising, Walking, and Activities' with several improved for 'Dressing and Grooming, Eating, Hygiene, and Grip'. There was no indication of a dose-related efficacy effect. CONCLUSION NAP/ESO was well tolerated in JIA patients aged 12 to 16 years with high levels of response to ACR criteria. No new safety signals were identified for the well-characterized components of this fixed dosed JIA treatment, which was developed to reduce the risk of gastric ulcers.

The majority of patients with newly diagnosed juvenile idiopathic arthritis achieve a health-related quality of life that is similar to that of healthy peers: results of the German multicenter inception cohort (ICON). Arthritis Res Ther 2018; 20:106. [PMID: 29848349 PMCID: PMC5977761 DOI: 10.1186/s13075-018-1588-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2018] [Accepted: 04/04/2018] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Achieving the best possible health-related quality of life (HRQoL) for a patient is an important treatment goal in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). We investigated the 36-month trajectories of HRQoL in children with JIA compared with healthy peers and identified the predictors of an unfavorable HRQoL. Methods Patients with a recent JIA diagnosis were enrolled in the German inception cohort study ICON. As a peer group, friends of patients of the same age and sex were asked to cooperate. Children were prospectively followed and regularly questioned about their HRQoL using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 (PedsQL). Disease activity was assessed by the clinical Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score (cJADAS-10), and the burden of the child’s chronic illness on their family was assessed by the Family Burden Questionnaire (FaBel). Linear mixed models were used to compare the HRQoL of the patients and their peers. Associations between the health status of a patient at enrollment and an unfavorable HRQoL (PedsQL total < 79.3) at their 3-year follow-up (FU) were analyzed by logistic regression. Results Data from 953 patients (median symptom duration 6 months, mean age 7.9 years) and 491 healthy peers (aged 8.4 years) were analyzed. During 3 years of FU, the disease activity and HRQoL of the patients improved significantly (cJADAS-10 from 9.8 (6.2) to 2.7 (3.6) and PedsQL total score from 71.7 (18.2) to 87.3 (13.9)). While the HRQoL of the patients varied among the several JIA categories at the time of enrollment, no significant differences were found at the 3-year FU. After 36 months, the HRQoL of the patients had largely converged with that of their healthy peers. JIA patients had a psychosocial health status comparable with their healthy peers, whereas a small significant mean difference remained in physical health (5.8, 95% confidence interval (CI) 4.1–7.6). Up to the 36-month FU, three-quarters of JIA patients attained a favorable HRQoL (PedsQL ≥ 79.3) which was achieved by 90% of the peers. A higher family burden, higher pain level, and lower well-being at enrollment were associated with an unfavorable HRQoL. Conclusions Under current therapeutic conditions, an HRQoL corresponding with that of healthy children is a realistic treatment goal in JIA.

Abstract
Cyclosporine A, an inhibitor of calcineurin, exerts an immunomodulator action interfering with T cell activation. Even though novel therapeutic tools have emerged, CyA still represents a suitable option in several clinical rheumatology settings. This is the case of refractory nephritis and cytopenias associated with systemic lupus erythematosus. Furthermore, CyA is a valued therapeutic tool in the management of uveitis and thrombophlebitis in course of Behçet's disease. Topical CyA has been proven to be beneficial in the dry eye of Sjogren's syndrome, whereas oral treatment with CyA can be considered for the severe complications of adult onset Still's disease. CyA provides a therapeutic option in psoriatic arthritis, being rather effective in skin disease. CyA is currently regarded as a second-line option for patients with inflammatory myopathies refractory to standard regimen. CyA is used even in paediatric rheumatology, in particular in the management of juvenile dermatomyositis and macrophage activation syndrome associated with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Importantly, CyA has been shown to suppress the replication of HCV, and it can thus be safely prescribed to those patients with chronic hepatitis C. Noteworthy, CyA can be administered throughout the gestation course. Surely, caution should be paid to CyA safety profile, in particular to its nephrotoxicity. Even though most evidence comes from small and uncontrolled studies with few randomised controlled trials, CyA should be still regarded as a valid therapeutic tool in 2016 rheumatology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA) is an autoinflammatory disease associated with chronic arthritis. Early diagnosis and effective therapy of SJIA is desirable, so that complications are avoided. The PRO-KIND initiative of the German Society for Pediatric Rheumatology (GKJR) aims to define consensus-based strategies to harmonize diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in Germany. METHODS We analyzed data on patients diagnosed with SJIA from 3 national registries in Germany. Subsequently, via online surveys and teleconferences among pediatric rheumatologists with a special expertise in the treatment of SJIA, we identified current diagnostic and treatment approaches in Germany. Those were harmonized via the formulation of statements and, supported by findings from a literature search. Finally, an in-person consensus conference using nominal group technique was held to further modify and consent the statements. RESULTS Up to 50% of patients diagnosed with SJIA in Germany do not fulfill the International League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR) classification criteria, mostly due to the absence of chronic arthritis. Our findings suggest that chronic arthritis is not obligatory for the diagnosis and treatment of SJIA, allowing a diagnosis of probable SJIA. Malignant, infectious and hereditary autoinflammatory diseases should be considered before rendering a diagnosis of probable SJIA. There is substantial variability in the initial treatment of SJIA. Based on registry data, most patients initially receive systemic glucocorticoids, however, increasingly substituted or accompanied by biological agents, i.e. interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-6 blockade (up to 27.2% of patients). We identified preferred initial therapies for probable and definitive SJIA, including step-up patterns and treatment targets for the short-term (resolution of fever, decrease in C-reactive protein by 50% within 7 days), the mid-term (improvement in physician global and active joint count by at least 50% or a JADAS-10 score of maximally 5.4 within 4 weeks) and the long-term (glucocorticoid-free clinically inactive disease within 6 to 12 months), and an explicit treat-to-target strategy. CONCLUSIONS We developed consensus-based strategies regarding the diagnosis and treatment of probable or definitive SJIA in Germany.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Around one-third of patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) fail to respond to first-line methotrexate (MTX) or anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy, with even fewer achieving ≥ American College of Rheumatology Pediatric 70% criteria for response (ACRpedi70), though individual responses cannot yet be accurately predicted. Because change in serum S100-protein myeloid-related protein complex 8/14 (MRP8/14) is associated with therapeutic response, we tested granulocyte-specific S100-protein S100A12 as a potential biomarker for treatment response. METHODS S100A12 serum concentration was determined by ELISA in patients treated with MTX (n = 75) and anti-TNF (n = 88) at baseline and followup. Treatment response (≥ ACRpedi50 score), achievement of inactive disease, and improvement in Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score (JADAS)-10 score were recorded. RESULTS Baseline S100A12 concentration was measured in patients treated with anti-TNF [etanercept n = 81, adalimumab n = 7; median 200, interquartile range (IQR) 133-440 ng/ml] and MTX (median 220, IQR 100-440 ng/ml). Of the patients in the anti-TNF therapy group, 74 (84%) were also receiving MTX. Responders to MTX (n = 57/75) and anti-TNF (n = 66/88) therapy had higher baseline S100A12 concentration compared to nonresponders: median 240 (IQR 125-615) ng/ml versus 150 (IQR 87-233) ng/ml, p = 0.021 for MTX, and median 308 (IQR 150-624) ng/ml versus 151 (IQR 83-201) ng/ml, p = 0.002, for anti-TNF therapy. Followup S100A12 could be measured in 44/75 MTX-treated patients (34/44 responders) and 39/88 anti-TNF-treated patients (26/39 responders). Responders had significantly reduced S100A12 concentration (MTX: p = 0.031, anti-TNF: p < 0.001) at followup versus baseline. Baseline serum S100A12 in both univariate and multivariate regression models for anti-TNF therapy and univariate analysis alone for MTX therapy was significantly associated with change in JADAS-10. CONCLUSION Responders to MTX or anti-TNF treatment can be identified by higher pretreatment S100A12 serum concentration levels.

Sura A, Failing C, Sturza J, Stannard J, Riebschleger M. Patient characteristics associated with response to NSAID monotherapy in children with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Pediatr Rheumatol Online J 2018; 16:2. [PMID: 29304824 PMCID: PMC5755314 DOI: 10.1186/s12969-017-0219-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2017] [Accepted: 12/21/2017] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) is an auto-inflammatory disease characterized by fever, arthritis, and ≥1 of rash, generalized lymphadenopathy, hepato/splenomegaly, and serositis. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the initial treatments of sJIA, but there is currently no evidence indicating which children should undergo a trial of NSAID monotherapy and which should not. Our objective is to identify presentation characteristics which are associated with response and lack of response to a trial of NSAID monotherapy. METHODS This is a retrospective single-center cohort study of children diagnosed with sJIA from 2000 to 2014. Patient demographics and disease characteristics were investigated to identify predictors of response to NSAID monotherapy. RESULTS Eighty-seven children were newly diagnosed with sJIA 2000-2014. Thirteen of the 51 children who received NSAID monotherapy achieved clinically inactive disease (CID) without other medications. Age at presentation (≤8 years old), initial joint count (≤5), and C-reactive protein (CRP) (≤13 mg/dL) at diagnosis were associated with achievement of CID on NSAIDs alone. Physicians were less likely to trial NSAID monotherapy if the patient had either serositis or macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) at diagnosis. Ultimate achievement of CID and time to CID were not significantly affected by whether the patient received a trial of NSAID monotherapy. CONCLUSIONS While a subset of children with sJIA can achieve CID with NSAID monotherapy, we recommend against a trial in patients who are >8 years old, with >5 joints involved, or with CRP > 13 mg/dL. Patients who undergo a trial of NSAID monotherapy should follow up within 2-4 weeks to evaluate for possible need for drug escalation. Clinical trials are necessary to confirm these findings.

The objective of this study was to characterize the PK, safety, and taste acceptability of tofacitinib in patients with JIA. METHODS This Phase 1, open-label, multiple-dose (twice daily [BID] for 5 days) study of tofacitinib in patients with active (≥ 5 joints) polyarticular course JIA was conducted from March 2013-December 2015. Patients were allocated to one of three age-based cohorts: Cohort 1, 12 to < 18 years; Cohort 2, 6 to < 12 years; and Cohort 3, 2 to < 6 years. Tofacitinib was administered according to age and body weight as tablets or oral solution (grape flavor). PK were assessed on Day 5; safety was assessed at screening, Day 1, and Day 5. Taste acceptability of the oral solution was evaluated. RESULTS Twenty-six patients (age range 2-17 years) were enrolled: Cohort 1, N = 8; Cohort 2, N = 9; Cohort 3, N = 9; median tofacitinib doses were 5.0, 2.5, and 3.0 mg BID, respectively. The higher median tofacitinib dose in Cohort 3 versus Cohort 2 reflected implementation of an amended dosing scheme following an interim PK analysis after Cohort 2 recruitment. Geometric mean AUC at steady state (AUCtau) was 156.6 ng•h/mL in Cohort 1, 118.8 ng•h/mL in Cohort 2, and 142.5 ng•h/mL in Cohort 3; Cmax (ng/mL) was 47.0, 41.7, and 66.2, respectively. Ctrough, Cmin, and t1/2 were similar in Cohorts 2 and 3, but higher in Cohort 1. Median time to Cmax (Tmax) was similar between cohorts. Apparent clearance and volume of distribution decreased with decreasing age. Tofacitinib was well tolerated, with no serious adverse events or discontinuations due to adverse events reported. Taste acceptability was confirmed. CONCLUSIONS PK findings from this study in children with polyarticular course JIA established dosing regimens and acceptable taste for use in subsequent studies within the tofacitinib pediatric development program.
