OP0216 Safety of Tocilizumab, Interleukin-1 Inhibitors and Etanercept in 262 Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Patients: Table 1

Background Since the approval of first biologics for treatment of JIA, surveillance in Germany is monitored prospectively by the BIKER registry. Objectives To evaluate the safety of Tocilizumab (TOC), IL-1 inhibitors (Anakinra & Canakinumab) and Etanercept (ETA). Methods Safety assessments were based on adverse events reports. Results 205 sJIA pts received 269 treatment courses with biologics (TOC 71, Anakina 36, Canakinumab 19, ETA 143 and 57 pts. received MTX only. Median age was lower In the MTX cohort (4.8y) than with ETA (8.2); TOC (9.6); IL-1i (8.2) as was the disease duration. ETA was started in 80% of pts before 2008 while in the TOC cohort all pts and in the IL-1i cohort 74% started therapy after 2008. Pre-treatment consisted of systemic steroids in 75% starting MTX and in all patients starting biologics. Initial concomitant treatment with systemic steroids was significantly less frequent with TOC (44%, p Conclusions Higher rates of safety signals, especially infections were noted upon treatment with TOC and IL-1i. Beside infections, disease reactivation and MAS, further adverse events were rare and overall tolerability was acceptable. However, steroids were markedly spared upon IL6- and Il-1 inhibitors.
