Summary

This study looks at how well and how safely the drug Ilaris (canakinumab) works for people with Schnitzler's syndrome, a rare condition that causes hives, fever, joint pain, and fatigue. About 5 participants will receive the drug and be monitored for up to 48 weeks. The goal is to see if symptoms improve or go away completely.
