Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: to assess efficacy of Canakinumab treatment for patients with adult onset Still's disease (AOSD) and active joint involvement according to proportion of patients with significant reduction of disease activity (DAS 28 [>1,2]) after 12 week treatment period Evaluation of the long-term safety of canakinumab in patients with AOSD and articular involvement;Secondary Objective: evaluation of safety of Canakinumab for patients with adult onset Still's disease (AOSD) evaluation of efficacy of Canakinumab for patients with AOSD and joint involvement according ACR response criteria at week 12 and week 24 proportion of patients who achieve a low disease activity (DAS28 < 3,2) or remission (DAS28 < 2,6) documentation of change in joint mobility to assess change in general health status using HAQ-DI and SF36-questionaire improvement of dermal Manifestation reduction of inflamatory lab values (CRP, ESR, Ferritin) Biomarker Analysis Description of the long-term efficacy of canakinumab in patients with AOSD according to EULAR response criteria (proportion of patients showing prolonged clinically improvement according to DAS28 low-disease activity [< 3.2] and remission [< 2.6], reduction of flares and glucocorticoid intake). Evaluation if a reduced dosage of canakinumab can be used to control disease activity;Primary end point(s): Disease activity score 28 Joints (DAS28);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: at Screening, Baseline and at week 12 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Joint manifestation: 1.DAS28 (Disease activity score) 2.ACR (American College of Rheumatology) Response Criteria and EULAR response criteria for low disease activity (DAS28 < 3.2) and remission (DAS28 < 2,6) Assessment of the level of disability and of quality of life: 1.Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) 2.SF-36 health Survey Laboratory tests 1.Serological markers for inflammatory reactions (CRP, ESR, ferritin) 2.Immunogenity (anti-canakinumab antibodies) will be established at all visits, in the case of episodes of illness and with MAS. In the event of an anaphylactic reaction occurring, samples will be investigated following the injection and at intervals of 8 weeks. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: core-study: week 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and week 24 in long term extension phase (LTE): every 3 months (quarterly) up to visit month 30 safety evaluation (= secondary objective of core study and primary objective of LTE-phase): every month up to month 33 | — |
