Clinical Trial Summary

This is a phase III study designed to provide efficacy and safety data for canakinumab administered for at least 48 weeks as subcutaneous (s.c.) injection every 4 weeks (q4wk) in Japanese patients with Adult Onset Still's Disease (AOSD). Interim analysis (IA) data at Week 28 and 48 from this study supports a registration submission of canakinumab in the indication of Adult still's disease (ASD) in Japan.

Participant's assessment of disease activity (PtGA)
Functional ability assessed using Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ)
Number of active joints (68 joints evaluated for pain/tenderness and 66 for swelling)
Laboratory measure of inflammation: CRP (mg/L)
Absence of intermittent fever in the preceding week
Week 8
Secondary Proportion of participants who are able to taper corticosteroids based on success criteria at Week 28. To evaluate ability of canakinumab to taper corticosteroids based on success criteria starting from Week 8 to Week 28 Week 28

Systemic feature score consists of 5 clinical and 5 laboratory assessments. Clinical features include fever, rash, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly and serositis. Laboratory features include erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C reactive protein, leucocyte count, hemoglobin level and platelet count. Each clinical and laboratory feature will be assigned a score of 1 (present) or 0 (absent): Baseline, Day 15, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144, EOS(up to Week 152)

The disability dimension consists of 20 multiple choice items concerning difficulty in performing eight common activities of daily living; dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and usual activities. Participants choose from four response categories, ranging from 'without any difficulty' to 'unable to do'. Baseline, Day 15, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144, EOS(up to Week 152)

To evaluate ability of canakinumab to taper corticosteroids dose over time after Week 8 Weeks 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 84, 88, 92, 96, 100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128, 132, 136, 140, 144, 148, EOS(up to Week 152)
Secondary Presence of rash (typical/atypical) at all visits during study. The absence or presence of skin rash will be assessed based on physical exam findings including whether it is typical or atypical. Baseline, Day 15, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 84, 88, 92, 96, 100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128, 132, 136, 140, 144, 148, EOS(up to Week 152)
Secondary Change from baseline in DAS28-CRP at Day 15 and all subsequent visits. DAS28-CRP is a composite index, validated for RA patients and takes into account the following items: Tender joint count (number of tender joints; 0-28); swollen joint count (number of swollen joints; 0-28); C-reactive protein (mg/l) and Global Health (Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity; from 0=best to 100=worst). Thus, given the reliability, validity, and ability of DAS28 to discriminate the severity of joint involvement, this index has been used in other rheumatic diseases characterized by RA-like poly-articular involvement. Of note, a DAS28 score > 5.1 implies active disease, =3.2 low disease activity, and <2.6 remission. Moderate/high disease activity is defined as a DAS28 higher than 3.2. Baseline, Day 15, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144, EOS(up to Week 152)
