Project description:ObjectiveTo compare clinical features and treatments of patients with systemic JIA (sIJA) and adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD).MethodsThe clinical charts of consecutive patients with sJIA by International League of Association of Rheumatology criteria or AOSD by Yamaguchi criteria were reviewed. Patients were seen at a large paediatric rheumatology referral centre or at 10 adult rheumatology academic centres. Data collected included clinical manifestations, inflammation biomarkers, systemic score, macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), parenchymal lung disease, disease course, disability, death and medications administered.ResultsA total of 166 patients (median age at diagnosis 5 years) with sJIA and 194 patients with AOSD (median age at diagnosis 41 years) were included. The frequency of fever, rash, arthralgia, abdominal pain, MAS, parenchymal lung disease and increased acute phase reactants and ferritin were comparable between the two cohorts. Patients with sJIA had a higher prevalence of arthritis, whereas patients with AOSD had experienced leucocytosis and extra-articular organ involvement more frequently. Patients with AOSD were given more commonly low-dose corticosteroids, whereas biologic DMARDs were administered first-line more frequently in patients with sJIA.ConclusionWe found remarkable disparities in the prevalence of clinical manifestations between the two illnesses, which may partly depend on their classification by different criteria.

Project description:To describe the characteristics of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) and adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD), compare their presentation and evolution, and analyse possible complication predictors. Multicenter study. Data were retrieved from a hospital-based study of patients with a diagnosis or suspected diagnosis of sJIA or AOSD according to the responsible physician and followed-up for at least one year. Descriptive variables (classification criteria, clinical manifestations, complications, family, and personal history) were collected at disease onset and during follow-up. We present the clinical characteristics of 326 patients, 67% of whom had a diagnosis of sJIA and 33% of AOSD. Clinical manifestation frequencies were similar between the two groups, except for odynophagia, which was significantly more frequent in AOSD than in sJIA (78.4% vs. 25.5%; p < 0.0001). Among the complications, macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) was significantly more common in sJIA than in AOSD (24.4% vs. 9.5%; p = 0.002), to the extent that an sJIA diagnosis significantly increased the risk of MAS, together with serositis presence, and the need for biological therapy. Patients with sJIA and AOSD showed similar characteristics, supporting the idea that they are both part of Still's disease, but are expressed at different ages. Differences in manifestations and complications might be due to different management between diseases and immune response maturity.

Project description:Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) and adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) are considered the same disease, but a common approach for diagnosis and management is still missing.MethodsIn May 2022, EULAR and PReS endorsed a proposal for a joint task force (TF) to develop recommendations for the diagnosis and management of sJIA and AOSD. The TF agreed during a first meeting to address four topics: similarity between sJIA and AOSD, diagnostic biomarkers, therapeutic targets and strategies and complications including macrophage activation syndrome (MAS). Systematic literature reviews were conducted accordingly.ResultsThe TF based their recommendations on four overarching principles, highlighting notably that sJIA and AOSD are one disease, to be designated by one name, Still's disease.Fourteen specific recommendations were issued. Two therapeutic targets were defined: clinically inactive disease (CID) and remission, that is, CID maintained for at least 6 months. The optimal therapeutic strategy relies on early use of interleukin (IL-1 or IL-6 inhibitors associated to short duration glucocorticoid (GC). MAS treatment should rely on high-dose GCs, IL-1 inhibitors, ciclosporin and interferon-γ inhibitors. A specific concern rose recently with cases of severe lung disease in children with Still's disease, for which T cell directed immunosuppressant are suggested. The recommendations emphasised the key role of expert centres for difficult-to-treat patients. All overarching principles and recommendations were agreed by over 80% of the TF experts with a high level of agreement.ConclusionThese recommendations are the first consensus for the diagnosis and management of children and adults with Still's disease.

Project description:Background: Systemic-Onset Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (SJIA) is a rare disease associated with dysregulated interleukin (IL)-1 activity. Objectives: To assess the efficacy and safety of Anakinra, an IL-1 receptor antagonist in SJIA and its effects on gene expression profiling. Methods: We conducted a multicenter, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trial. The primary objective was to compare the efficacy of a one-month treatment with anakinra (2 mg/kg subcutaneoulsy daily, maximum 100 mg) to a placebo between 2 groups of 12 SJIA patients each. Response was defined by a 30% improvement of the pediatric American College of Rheumatology criteria for JIA, resolution of systemic symptoms and a decrease of at least 50% of both C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate compared to baseline. An intention-to-treat analyze was performed. After Month 1 (M1), patients taking placebo were switched to Anakinra. Secondary objectives included tolerance and efficacy assessment for 12 months. Results: At M1, concluding the randomized trial, there was a significant difference in the response rate between patients treated with Anakinra (8/12 responders) and placebo (1/12) (p=0.003). The number of adverse events, mainly pain to injections, was similar between both groups. Ten patients from the placebo group switched to Anakinra at M1; nine were responders at M2. Between M1 and M12, six patients stopped treatment for an adverse event (Crohn’s disease, hepatitis), a lack of efficacy or a disease flare (2 cases each). Blood gene expression profiling at enrollment and upon follow-up allowed us to identify one set of dysregulated genes that reverted to normal values in the clinical responders and a second set, including interferon-inducible genes, that was induced by Anakinra. Conclusion: Anakinra is an effective treatment of SJIA. Its effect is associated with normalization of blood gene expression profiles in clinical responders and de novo induction of an interferon signature.

Project description:IntroductionThe aim of this study was to understand the reasons for canakinumab initiation among patients with Still's disease, including systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA) and adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD), in US clinical practice.MethodsPhysicians retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of patients with Still's disease (regardless of age at symptom onset) who were prescribed canakinumab from 2016 to 2018. Patients aged < 16 years at symptom onset were classified as having SJIA and those aged ≥ 16 years at symptom onset (calculated from case-record forms) were classified as having AOSD. Patient treatment history and physician reasons for canakinumab initiation were analyzed. Overall results were presented as SJIA/AOSD. Sensitivity analyses were performed for the robustness of the results.ResultsForty-three physicians in the USA (rheumatologists/dermatologists/immunologists/allergists: 51.2/27.9/11.6/9.3%; subspecialty in adults/pediatrics: 67.4/32.6%) abstracted information for 72 patients with SJIA/AOSD (SJIA/AOSD/age unknown at symptom onset: 75.0/18.1/6.9%; mean age 19.4 years; children 61.1%; females 56.9%). Most patients (90.3%) received treatment directly preceding canakinumab initiation (etanercept 27.7%; anakinra 18.5%; adalimumab 16.9%); the respective treatment was discontinued due to lack of efficacy/effectiveness (43.1%) and availability of a new treatment (27.8%). Most common reasons for canakinumab initiation were physician perceived/experienced efficacy/effectiveness of canakinumab (77.8%; children/adults: 81.8/71.4%), lack-of-response to previous treatment (45.8%; children/adults: 36.4/60.7%), convenient administration/dosing (26.4%; children/adults: 29.5/21.4%) and ability to discontinue/spare steroids (25.0%; children/adults: 20.5/32.1%). The sensitivity analysis provided similar results.ConclusionsIn US clinical practice, physician perceived/experienced efficacy/effectiveness of canakinumab and lack-of-response to previous treatment were the primary reasons for canakinumab initiation among patients with SJIA/AOSD. Physician perceived/experienced efficacy/effectiveness and convenient administration/dosing of canakinumab were the most common reasons for canakinumab initiation among children, whereas lack-of-response to previous treatment and ability to discontinue/spare steroids being the most frequent reasons among adults.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD), a rare autoinflammatory disorder, resembles systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA). The superimposable systemic clinical features of AOSD and SJIA suggest both clinical phenotypes represent the same disease continuum with different ages of onset. To further characterize the similarity between AOSD and SJIA at the molecular level, 2 previously identified response gene sets in SJIA were used to investigate how genes that respond to interleukin (IL)-1? inhibition with canakinumab in SJIA patients behave in AOSD patients with active disease prior to IL-1? targeting therapy, relative to healthy subjects. FINDINGS:All genes downregulated in SJIA patients following canakinumab treatment were upregulated in most patients with active AOSD prior to canakinumab treatment, relative to healthy subjects. A few patients with milder AOSD had expectedly gene-expression patterns that resembled those in healthy subjects. Comparison of the gene-expression patterns with neutrophil counts showed a correlation between elevated neutrophil numbers and upregulation of canakinumab-responsive genes. Correspondingly, most genes upregulated following canakinumab treatment in patients with SJIA patients were downregulated in the majority of AOSD patients. CONCLUSIONS:These results further support the concept of a Still's disease continuum that includes both a pediatric/juvenile onset (SJIA) and adult onset (AOSD) form.

Project description:Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) are systemic inflammatory disorders that manifest as high-spiking fever, joint pain, evanescent skin rash, and organomegaly. Their pathogenesis is unclear, but inflammation is triggered by activation of the innate immune system with aberrant production of proinflammatory cytokines. Along with extrinsic factors, intrinsic pathways can trigger an unexpected immune response. Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) induce the activation of innate immune cells, leading to sterile inflammation in systemic JIA and AOSD. These endogenous proteins interact with Toll-like receptors (TLRs), which are pattern recognition receptors, and mediate immune signaling following stimulation by pathogen-associated molecular patterns and DAMPs. Several DAMPs, such as S100 proteins, play a role in the development or severity of systemic JIA and AOSD, in which their interactions with TLRs are altered. Also, the expression levels of genes encoding DAMPs contribute to the susceptibility to systemic JIA and AOSD. Herein, we review reports that TLR and DAMP signaling initiates and/or maintains the inflammatory response in systemic JIA and AOSD, and their correlations with the clinical characteristics of those diseases. In addition, we assess their utility as biomarkers or therapeutics for systemic JIA and AOSD.

Project description:ObjectiveThere is wide variation in therapeutic approaches to systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) among North American rheumatologists. Understanding the comparative effectiveness of the diverse therapeutic options available for treatment of systemic JIA can result in better health outcomes. The Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) developed consensus treatment plans and standardized assessment schedules for use in clinical practice to facilitate such studies.MethodsCase-based surveys were administered to CARRA members to identify prevailing treatments for new-onset systemic JIA. A 2-day consensus conference in April 2010 employed modified nominal group technique to formulate preliminary treatment plans and determine important data elements for collection. Followup surveys were employed to refine the plans and assess clinical acceptability.ResultsThe initial case-based survey identified significant variability among current treatment approaches for new-onset systemic JIA, underscoring the utility of standardized plans to evaluate comparative effectiveness. We developed 4 consensus treatment plans for the first 9 months of therapy, as well as case definitions and clinical and laboratory monitoring schedules. The 4 treatment regimens included glucocorticoids only, or therapy with methotrexate, anakinra, or tocilizumab, with or without glucocorticoids. This approach was approved by >78% of the CARRA membership.ConclusionFour standardized treatment plans were developed for new-onset systemic JIA. Coupled with data collection at defined intervals, use of these treatment plans will create the opportunity to evaluate comparative effectiveness in an observational setting to optimize initial management of systemic JIA.

Project description:Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (SJIA)/Pediatric Still's disease is associated with different phenotypes and outcomes from currently available treatments. A review of opinion, based on personal experience in a reference pediatric rheumatology center and key publications, to explore the most important questions regarding disease heterogeneity and treatment approaches. A few situations deserve particular attention: 1/patients with recent-onset SJIA who may benefit from a treat-to-target approach with a key place for interleukin (IL)-1 inhibition; 2/SJIA patients refractory to Il-1 and IL-6 antagonists in whom several options may be discussed, including thalidomide or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; 3/SJIA patients with macrophage activation syndrome who may benefit from both well-used classical treatment and innovative approaches, such as anti-interferon gamma therapy or Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitors; 4/SJIA with severe lung involvement, 5/SJIA patients who achieve complete remission on treatment, with some recent evidence that treatment may be reduced in intensity but not so easily withdrawn. a case-by-case discussion with expert teams is recommended in this heterogeneous, often difficult-to-treat population of patients.

Project description:ObjectivesTo analyse the similarity in clinical manifestations and laboratory findings between systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) and adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD).MethodsThree systematic reviews (SR) were performed. One included cohort studies comparing sJIA versus AOSD that described clinical and biological manifestations with at least 20 patients in each group (SR1). The second identified studies of biomarkers in both diseases and their diagnostic performance (SR2). The last focused on diagnostic biomarkers for macrophage activation syndrome (MAS, SR3). Medline (PubMed), Embase and Cochrane Library were systematically searched. The risk of bias was assessed with an adapted form of the Hoy scale for prevalence studies in SR1 and the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 in SR2 and SR3. We performed meta-analyses of proportions for the qualitative descriptors.ResultsEight studies were included in SR1 (n=1010 participants), 33 in SR2 and 10 in SR3. The pooled prevalence of clinical manifestations did not differ between sJIA and AOSD, except for myalgia, sore throat and weight loss, which were more frequent in AOSD than sJIA because they are likely ascertained incompletely in sJIA, especially in young children. Except for AA amyloidosis, more frequent in sJIA than AOSD, the prevalence of complications did not differ, nor did the prevalence of biological findings. Ferritin, S100 proteins and interleukin-18 (IL-18) were the most frequently used diagnostic biomarkers, with similar diagnostic performance. For MAS diagnosis, novel biomarkers such as IL-18, C-X-C motif ligand 9, adenosine deaminase 2 activity and activated T cells seemed promising.ConclusionOur results argue for a continuum between sJIA and AOSD.Prospero registration numberCRD42022374240 and CRD42024534021.
