Summary

This study tests whether the drug ixekizumab is safe and effective for children with certain types of juvenile arthritis (enthesitis-related arthritis and juvenile psoriatic arthritis). About 101 children aged 2 to 17 years will receive either ixekizumab or the standard drug adalimumab. The goal is to control disease activity and improve symptoms, but children will need to continue medication long-term.
