Are the trial subjects under 18? yes Number of subjects for this age range: 3 F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) no F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Pregnant or breastfeeding women. 2. Participation in any clinical trial investigation within 4 weeks prior to dosing or longer if required by local regulation. 3. In case of previous treatment with biologic agents or DMARDs, an appropriate washout period (as according to the recognized duration of effect and half-lives) 4. History of immunological compromisation. 5. Positive test for or prior history of HIV (ELISA and Western blot), Hepatitis B (Hepatitis B surface antigen) or Hepatitis C. 6. Presence of active infections or a history of pulmonary TB infection with or without documented adequate therapy. Subjects with current active TB, or recent close exposure to an individual with active TB are excluded from the study. 7. Treatment with a live virus vaccine during 3 months prior to baseline visit. No live vaccines were allowed throughout the course of this study and up to 3 months following the last dose. 8. History of malignancy except for treated basal cell carcinoma 9. History of recurrent and/or evidence of active bacterial, fungal or viral infection(s). 10. Presence of any of the following laboratory abnormalities: ALT or AST greater than 2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), platelet count less than 100x109/L. 11. Patients with neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] < 1.5 x 109/l) 12. History of significant medical conditions, which in the investigator’s opinion would exclude the patient from participating in this trial. 13. Other Interleukin-1 therapy

Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: • To evaluate if canakinumab at labeled dosing can induce and maintain clinical and biological remission in mutation-negative CAPS patients as well as in young (<2yrs) CAPS patients with CINCA phenotype;Secondary Objective: • To evaluate the effect of canakinumab treatment on disease activity of CAPS • To assess the changes in CRP levels during the treatment period • To evaluate the safety of canakinumab in mutation-negative CAPS patients as well as in young (<2yrs) CAPS patients with CINCA phenotype. ;Primary end point(s): Response will be defined as follows (all criteria to be fulfilled): Physician global assessment of auto-inflammatory disease activity = minimal (using a 5-pointscale ranging from absent to severe) AND assessment of skin disease = minimal (using a 5-point scale ranging from absent to severe) AND serological response: Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) < 10 mg/L.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: every 8 weeks from week 8 till week104 | — |
