Inclusion criteria

* Parent or legal guardian is able to provide written informed consent and patient is able to provide written assent if appropriate. * Male and female adolescents aged 12 to 16 years at the time of enrollment. * Diagnosed with JIA, including all the International League of Associations for Rheumatology JIA subtypes: oligoarthritis, polyarthritis (both rheumatoid factor \[RF\]+ and RF-), psoriatic arthritis, enthesitis-related arthritis, undifferentiated arthritis, and systemic arthritis. * Based upon investigator judgment, it is determined appropriate for the patient to undergo 6 months of continuous treatment with VIMOVO. * Body weight \> 31 kg (68.2 lbs) and within the 5th to 95th percentile of body mass index for age.

Exclusion criteria

* In systemic JIA patients, presence of systemic features (ie, fever, rheumatoid rash, serositis, lymphadenopathy, macrophage activation syndrome) within 6 months prior to start of study drug. * Currently taking (ie, within 4 weeks prior to start of drug) naproxen \> 20 mg/kg/day or \> 1000 mg total daily dose. * Hemoglobin ≤ 8.5 g/dL. * Individuals who have cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease, based on history or risk factors. * Any significant hepatic, renal, pulmonary, ophthalmologic, neurologic, or any other medical conditions indicated by medical/surgical history, physical, or laboratory examination that might put the patient at greater risk during the study.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants Reporting Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and TEAEs Leading to Discontinuation (DC) of Study DrugSAEs were collected from signing of informed consent through Month 6 (or end of treatment) plus 14 days. AEs were collected from administration of VIMOVO through Month 6 (or end of treatment) plus 14 days.An AE is defined as the development of an undesirable medical condition or the deterioration of a preexisting medical condition, whether or not considered causally related to treatment. An SAE is defined as an AE occurring during any study phase (ie, run-in, treatment, washout, follow-up), that fulfils one or more of the following criteria: results in death; is immediately life-threatening; requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity; is a congenital abnormality or birth defect; is an important medical event that may jeopardize the participant or may require medical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above. AEs were considered treatment-emergent if they occurred after the first dose of study drug. Events were categorized as mild, moderate, and severe; participants were represented only with the maximum reported intensity.

Number of Participants Reporting Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and TEAEs Leading to Discontinuation (DC) of Study Drug

An AE is defined as the development of an undesirable medical condition or the deterioration of a preexisting medical condition, whether or not considered causally related to treatment. An SAE is defined as an AE occurring during any study phase (ie, run-in, treatment, washout, follow-up), that fulfils one or more of the following criteria: results in death; is immediately life-threatening; requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity; is a congenital abnormality or birth defect; is an important medical event that may jeopardize the participant or may require medical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above. AEs were considered treatment-emergent if they occurred after the first dose of study drug. Events were categorized as mild, moderate, and severe; participants were represented only with the maximum reported intensity.

Time frame: SAEs were collected from signing of informed consent through Month 6 (or end of treatment) plus 14 days. AEs were collected from administration of VIMOVO through Month 6 (or end of treatment) plus 14 days.

Population: Safety analysis set: all participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug; participants were categorized according to the treatment medication they actually took.
