Journal ArticleDOI

Two randomized trials of canakinumab in systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis

TL;DR: These two phase 3 studies show the efficacy and safety of canakinumab in systemic JIA with active systemic features, and among the 100 patients who underwent randomization in the withdrawal phase, the risk of flare was lower among patients who continued to receive canakinUMab than among those who were switched to placebo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development and validation of a composite disease activity score for juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

TL;DR: The JADAS was found to be a valid instrument for assessment of disease activity in JIA and is potentially applicable in standard clinical care, observational studies, and clinical trials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preliminary diagnostic guidelines for macrophage activation syndrome complicating systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

TL;DR: Diagnostic guidelines for macrophage activation syndrome complicating systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (S-JIA) are identified and deserve prospective validation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Patients with antinuclear antibody-positive juvenile idiopathic arthritis constitute a homogeneous subgroup irrespective of the course of joint disease.

TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that patients with similar characteristics are currently classified into different JIA categories and the value of ANA positivity as a possible modifier of the current classification system deserves consideration.
