| Sumario: | Joachim Peitz, Gerd Horneff Pediatric Rheumatology Centre, Department of General Pediatrics and Neonatology, Asklepios Clinic, Sankt Augustin, Germany Abstract: Treatment of systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis is challenging, but the availability of cytokine antagonists targeting interleukin-1 and interleukin-6 have markedly advanced the therapeutic options. In this review, we focus on the current experience with canakinumab, an interleukin-1 monoclonal human antibody for the treatment of systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis and describe its efficacy and safety. Canakinumab is an important, safe, and valid drug in the treatment of systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Keywords: anakinra, canakinumab, interleukin-1, interleukin-6, systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis |
