First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study is collecting blood and joint fluid samples from 300 children and young adults with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) to see if certain markers can predict how severe the disease will become. Researchers will track participants' symptoms, treatments, and joint damage over time. The goal is to find better ways to identify which patients need more aggressive treatment early on.
