Real-Life Data on the Efficacy of Canakinumab in Patients with Adult-Onset Still’s Disease by Antonio Vitale, Virginia Berlengiero, Jurgen Sota, Luisa Ciarcia, Nicola Ricco, Sara Barneschi, Mariam Mourabi, Giuseppe Lopalco, Chiara Marzo, Francesca Bellisai, Florenzo Iannone, Bruno Frediani, Luca Cantarini

“…Resolution of clinical manifestations was reported in 8/9 cases at the 3-month assessment; a significant decrease in the number of tender joints (p=0.009), swollen joints (p=0.027), and disease activity score on 28 joints-C-reactive protein (DAS28-CRP) (p=0.044) was observed during the study period. The systemic score of disease activity significantly decreased at the 3-month and 6-month assessments and at the last visit compared to the start of treatment (p=0.028, p=0.028, and p=0.018, respectively). …”
