INSAID Variant Classification and Eurofever Criteria Guide Optimal Treatment Strategy in Patients with TRAPS: Data from the Eurofever Registry
2021
Contains fulltext : 231528.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) BACKGROUND: TNF receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) is a rare autoinflammatory disease caused by dominant mutation of the TNF super family receptor 1A (TNFRSF1A) gene. Data regarding long-term treatment outcomes are lacking. OBJECTIVE: To assess correlations of genotype-phenotypes in patients with TRAPS, as defined by the International Study Group for Systemic Autoinflammatory Diseases (INSAID) classification and Eurofever criteria, with treatment responses. METHODS: Data from 226 patients with variants of the TNFRSF1A gene and enrolled in the Eurofever registry were classified according to the INSAID classifica…
THU0395 Adult Onset Still's Disease: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study of 233 Italian Patients
2014
Background Adult onset Still9s disease (AOSD) is a rare rheumatic disease with an estimated prevalence of less than 1 case per 100,000 population. The diagnosis is difficult and is often delayed due to the lack of specific diagnostic tests and the need to rule out other pathological entities. Objectives To describe the clinical characteristics of a multicenter Italian case series of patients with AOSD. Methods 14 Italian University Hospital centers participated in the study. A standardized medical record containing clinical data, laboratory investigations, disease patterns and the different therapies has been sent to all participating centers. Each center collected data retrospectively. Res…
SAT0511 CANAKINUMAB IN SYSTEMIC JUVENILE IDIOPATHIC ARTHRITIS: CLINICAL INACTIVE DISEASE RATE AND SAFETY IN ITALIAN PATIENTS
2019
Background: Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) is a polygenic autoinflammatory disease. The innate immune mechanisms play a central role with overproduction of inflammatory cytokines. The increased knowledge on the role of these cytokines has provided a change in the natural history of the disease with the introduction of the targeted treatments. Remarkable results has been observed with canakinumab, an anti-interleukin-1β monoclonal antibody, in two clinical trials but little information are available in real life. Objectives: To evaluate clinical inactive disease rate and safety of canakinumab in Italian patients with sJIA. Methods: We have collected retrospectively clinical an…
FRI0504 Prognostic Factors of Adult Onset Still's Disease: Analysis of 100 Cases in 3 Tertiary Referral Centers
2016
Background Adult onset Still9s disease (AOSD) is rare inflammatory disease [1]. Three different patterns of AOSD have been identified: i. monocyclic pattern, characterized by a systemic single episode; ii. polycyclic pattern, associated with multiple flares, separated by remissions; iii. chronic pattern, related to a persistently active disease with associated polyarthritis [2]. Until now, the treatment of AOSD remains largely empirical, lacking controlled clinical trials [1]. Objectives We aimed to investigate clinical data of AOSD patients and any possible correlation among these features and the outcome of patients. Methods Clinical data of 100 AOSD patients were recorded. All patients f…
Canakinumab in systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis: real-world data from a retrospective Italian cohort
2021
Abstract Objective The objective of this study was to use real-world data to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of canakinumab in Italian patients with systemic JIA (sJIA). Methods A retrospective multicentre study of children with sJIA was performed. Clinical features, laboratory parameters and adverse events were collected at baseline, and 6 and 12 months after starting canakinumab. The primary outcome measure of effectiveness was clinically inactive disease (CID) off glucocorticoids (GCs) treatment at 6 months. Results A total of 80 children from 15 Italian centres were analysed. Of the 12 patients who started canakinumab in CID while receiving anakinra, all maintained CID. Of the 68 …
A Snapshot on the On-Label and Off-Label Use of the Interleukin-1 Inhibitors in Italy among Rheumatologists and Pediatric Rheumatologists: A Nationwi…
2016
Background: Interleukin (IL)-1 inhibitors have been suggested as possible therapeutic options in a large number of old and new clinical entities characterized by an IL-1 driven pathogenesis. Objectives: To perform a nationwide snapshot of the on-label and off-label use of anakinra (ANA) and canakinumab (CAN) for different conditions both in children and adults. Methods: We retrospectively collected demographic, clinical, and therapeutic data from both adult and pediatric patients treated with IL-1 inhibitors from January 2008 to July 2016. Results: Five hundred and twenty-six treatment courses given to 475 patients (195 males, 280 females; 111 children and 364 adults) were evaluated. ANA wa…

The biological anakinra appears promising to halt cytokine storm syndrome seen in severe courses of COVID-19. However, immunosuppression with anakinra may facilitate sepsis, necessitating continuous screening for bacterial superinfections.
