Anakinra treatment is expected to reduce the early and long-term mortality of patients with Kawasaki Disease (KD), by a rapid and sustained effect on vascular inflammation.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To compare the efficacy of Anakinra (IL-1R1 receptor antagonist) with 2nd IVIG infusion, in second line, on fever in patients with KD, who failed to respond to one infusion of IVIG(standard treatment). The main criterion-evaluating efficacy in both groups is: the patient must reach a body (axillary (+0.5°C), tympanic, oral) temperature <38°C within 2 days after initiation of treatment (i.e. a binary outcome: success/failure). ;Secondary Objective: To compare Anakinra with IVIG retreatment in terms of: - Efficacy on fever at 72h - Efficacy on disease activity - Efficacy on KD symptoms - Efficacy on coronary lesions (e.g.: dilatation and aneurysm) - Efficacy on inflammation - Safety and tolerability ;Primary end point(s): The main criterion-evaluating efficacy in both groups is: the patient must reach a body (axillary (+0.5°C), tympanic, oral) temperature <38°C within 2 days after initiation of treatment (i.e. a binary outcome: success/failure).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 2 days after initiation of treatment | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): To compare Anakinra with IVIG retreatment in terms of: - Temperature <38°C within 3 days (72h) after initiation of treatment - Decrease of the CRP values from baseline to day 30(CRP<6 mg/L at day 30) - Reduction in physician assessment of disease activity, on a 10 points scale, of at least to 50% between baseline and day 14. - Reduction in patient’s parent’s assessment of disease activity, on a 10 points scale, of to at least 50% between baseline and day 14. - Resolution of coronary abnormalities; i.e worst Z score <2.5, by echocardiogram if present at day 45. - Adverse events: pain/redness at injection site, bacterial infection hepatitis, macrophage activation syndrome, severe neutropenia, - Monitoring of adverse events o Physical examination: Complete clinical exam will be performed at each visit to detect symptoms of KD (rash, cervical nodes, mucous lesions, extremities, GI, pulmonary, CV, neurologic and muscular/joint evaluation) and possible associated morbidity: e.g. concomitant infection o Local tolerability of injections: will be evaluated by physician from V2 to V8: pain, redness, swelling, induration, itching, haemorrhage, (and quoted from none, mild, moderate, severe) o Vital signs and body measurements: at each visit: V1 to V9. The body temperature will be measured daily until d30. Parents will receive a follow-up booklet.. o Laboratory evaluations: hematologic, hepatic and renal assessment will be followed ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: days 3 (72h) after initiation of treatment, day 14, day 30, day 45, Day 60 | — |
