The activity of the disease is judged according to JADAS 10 score. JADAS 10 of > 5.4 is required for definition of active disease. 8)Early disease with a disease duration of up to 6 months.

If applicable: Guidelines regarding the treatment of latent TB must be followed prior to the administration of rheumatic medication. 11)Patient have to meet all criteria for eligibility for treatment chosen by the investigator with methotrexate, etanercept, adalimumab, abatacept and tocilizumab according to SPC and local guidelines. 12)Either the subject or an available adult must be capable (according to the investigator`s judgment) of reconstituting and administering injections.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1)Patient has already had his17th birthday (diagnosis must be given before the age of 16 and disease duration must be less than 6 months) 2)Chronic or active infection or any major episode of infection requiring hospitalization or treatment with i.v antibiotics within 30 days prior baseline 3)Any preceding diagnosis of malignancy 4)Pregnant or breast feeding female. (n.a.=not applicable). 5)Female not willing to use appropriate contraception or sexual abstinence. 6)Active gastrointestinal disease (e.g., inflammatory bowel disease). 7)Significant blood clotting defect. 8)Preceding diagnosis of tuberculosis or any opportunistic infection including herpes zoster at any time. 9)Patient has a history of any chronic disease other than JAS, JRA / JIA, especially chronic renal disease, liver disease, hematological, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, cardiological or neurological disease, which in the opinion of the investigator may influence the efficacy or safety of the medication or which in the opinion of the investigator leads to an unacceptable risk for the patient if he participates in the observation. 10)Patient had a significant illness during a period of 4 weeks prior to the first administration of rheumatic medication other than JIA-related. 11)AST (SGOT) or ALT (SGPT) levels more than two times the upper level of normal, creatinine levels more than 1.5 mg/dl, or any other laboratory abnormality considered to be clinically significant within 28 days prior to baseline. 12)Received any investigational medication within 30 days prior to the first dose of rheumatic medication or scheduled to receive an investigational drug (other than the rheumatic medications) during the course of the observation. 13)Known HIV infection 14)Patient has been treated with any other investigational agent within 30 days or 5 half-lives of the agent, whichever is longer, prior to the baseline evaluation. 15)Patient has previously been admitted to this observation. 16)Known past or current hepatitis infection. 17)Patient has a history of an expanding CNS neoplasm, active CNS infection, demyelinating disease, degenerative neurological disease or any progressive CNS disease. 18)Patient has a poorly controlled diabetes. 19) Received a live virus vaccine within 1 month prior to baseline. 20)Any concurrent medical condition which would, in the investigator's opinion, compromise the patient's ability to tolerate the rheumatic drug or would make the patient unable to comply with the protocol. 21)Patient has a history of or current psychiatric illness that would interfere with ability to comply with protocol requirements or give informed consent. 22)Patient has a recent history of alcohol or drug abuse within the past 6 months that would interfere with ability to comply with protocol requirements. 23)Any other inability to comply with the observation requirements.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess the clinical benefit (remission) in subjects with poly JIA treated following international recommendations. -JADAS remission as defined by a JADAS10 = 1 compared to historical patients documented in the German BIKER registry | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess the clinical benefit according to the JADAS definition of minimal disease activity (JADAS10 =3.8), the Ped ACR JIA 30%/50%/70%/90% and 100% improvement and inactive disease as defined according to the proposed criteria for inactive disease and remission of Wallace et al. (13) To assess the long-term safety of routine medication in subjects with poly JIA. | — |
