THU0569 MANAGEMENT OF ADULT-ONSET STILL’S DISEASE (AOSD) WITH IL-1 INHIBITORS: EVIDENCE- AND CONSENSUS-BASED STATEMENTS BY A PANEL OF ITALIAN EXPERTS

2019

Background: Still’s disease is a rare autoinflammatory disease, presenting in both pediatric [systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA)] and adult patients [adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD]. Due to the rarity of the disease, clinical trials are limited and treatment guidelines are not available. In patients refractory to the classical therapy with NSAIDs, corticosteroids and DMARDs, the introduction of drugs targeting IL-1 has greatly expanded treatment options. Among these, canakinumab, a human monoclonal anti-IL-1β antibody, and anakinra, a human recombinant IL-1RA, have been recently approved for the treatment of refractory patients. Objectives: To produce recommendations, based on…

Guidelines for biomarkers in autoimmune rheumatic diseases - evidence based analysis

2018

Autoimmune rheumatic diseases are characterised by an abnormal immune system response, complement activation, cytokines dysregulation and inflammation. In last years, despite many progresses in managing these patients, it has been shown that clinical remission is reached in less than 50% of patients and a personalised and tailored therapeutic approach is still lacking resulting in a significant gap between guidelines and real-world practice. In this context, the need for biomarkers facilitating early diagnosis and profiling those individuals at the highest risk for a poor outcome has become of crucial interest. A biomarker generally refers to a measured characteristic which may be used as a…

The growing role of precision medicine for the treatment of autoimmune diseases; results of a systematic review of literature and Experts’ Consensus

2021

International audience; Autoimmune diseases (AIDs) share similar serological, clinical, and radiological findings, but, behind these common features, there are different pathogenic mechanisms, immune cells dysfunctions, and targeted organs. In this context, multiple lines of evidence suggest the application of precision medicine principles to AIDs to reduce the treatment failure. Precision medicine refers to the tailoring of therapeutic strategies to the individual characteristics of each patient, thus it could be a new approach for management of AIDS which considers individual variability in genes, environmental exposure, and lifestyle. Precision medicine would also assist physicians in ch…
