ASSESSING THE CLINICAL RELEVANCE AND RISK MINIMIZATION OF ANTIBODIES TO BIOLOGICS IN JUVENILE IDIOPATHIC ARTHRITIS (JIA) (ABIRISK) - PRELIMINARY RESULTS

Introduction: ABIRISK is a project funded by Innovative Medicine Initiative, with the aim to investigate anti-drug antibody (ADA) formation in the treatment of JIA with biologics (BPs). A major limitation to the use of biologics is the development of ADA that may decrease the efficacy of BPs. Objectives: The aim of this project is to improve the capability to predict biologic immunogenicity in JIA patients. Methods: JIA Patients (by ILAR criteria) followed by 24 PRINTO centres in 12 countries were prospectively enrolled and treated with Etanercept, Adalimumab or Tocilizumab. Patient’s data were obtained from Pharmachild, a pharmacovigilance data registry of JIA patients. For each patient de…
