A Multicenter, Open-label Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Efficacy of Certolizumab Pegol in Children and Adolescents With Moderately to Severely Active Polyarticular-course Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA)
A Multicenter, Open-label Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Efficacy of
Certolizumab Pegol in Children and Adolescents With Moderately to Severely Active
Polyarticular-course Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA).
Certolizumab Pegol in Children and Adolescents With Moderately to Severely Active
Polyarticular-course Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA).
The overall study consists of a Screening Period of up to 4 weeks and an Open-Label Treatment
Period which will continue until the approval of the marketing application for the
Polyarticular-course Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) indication in the subject's country
or region or until further notice from UCB (approximately 4-6 years duration; depending on
region). A Final Visit will be conducted 12 weeks after last dose of study medication.
Overall, study visits will occur monthly during the first 6 months and every 2 months
afterwards. All patients will receive active treatment with Certolizumab Pegol. The dose will
depend on actual weight. Home dosing will be allowed between study visits.
If less than 50 % of the study population achieves an adequate response to the treatment
(American College of Rheumatology Pediatric 30 % (PedACR30) response) at Week 16, the study
will be entirely discontinued.
