Summary

This study tested a drug called anakinra in 24 children and young adults with severe systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SO-JIA) that did not respond well to steroids. For the first month, half received anakinra and half received a placebo, then everyone received anakinra for 11 more months while slowly reducing steroids. The goal was to see if anakinra could improve arthritis symptoms and reduce the need for steroids.
