Predictors of Effectiveness of Anakinra in Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Abstract

Our findings help to delineate the clinical profile of patients with sJIA who are more likely to benefit from IL-1 blockade. They also underscore the need for studies aimed at examining the therapeutic role of early IL-1 inhibition and to identify biomarkers predicting response to either IL-1 or IL-6 antagonists.
