Objective: To describe longitudinal changes in patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in children with polyarticular-course juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pJIA) treated with subcutaneous abatacept. Methods: Secondary analysis of a single-arm, open-label 24-month study of patients ages 6–17 years and 2–5 years. PROs included Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (CHAQ-DI), parent global assessment of child well-being (PaGA), pain assessment, and Activity Limitation Questionnaire (ALQ). Clinical outcomes included 50% or greater improvement in JIA American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria, clinically inactive disease, and Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score. Results: For the 6- to 17-year-old (n = 173) and 2- to 5-year-old (n = 46) cohorts, respectively, median (Q1, Q3) changes from baseline in CHAQ-DI at months 4 and 24 were −0.3 (−0.8, 0.0) and −0.5 (−1.0, −0.1), and −0.4 (−0.8, 0.0) and −0.5 (−1.0–−0.1). Median pain scores were below cutoff threshold for clinically relevant pain (<35 mm) by month 1 (6 to 17 years, 32.3 mm; 2 to 5 years, 25.7 mm), reaching a nadir at month 24 (6 to 17 years, 6.0 mm; 2 to 5 years, 2.0 mm). For the 6- to 17-year-old and 2- to 5-year-old cohorts, respectively, median PaGA scores were 47.8 (n = 172) and 42.1 (n = 46) at baseline and 6.3 (n = 107) and 2.0 (n = 37) at month 24. In both cohorts, ALQ components improved from baseline to month 4 and were largely maintained to month 24. Clinical outcomes improved through to month 24. Conclusion: Early and sustained PRO improvements were reported in this phase III, open-label trial of subcutaneous abatacept in patients with pJIA.

Abstract

Objective: To describe longitudinal changes in patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in children with polyarticular-course juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pJIA) treated with subcutaneous abatacept. Methods: Secondary analysis of a single-arm, open-label 24-month study of patients ages 6–17 years and 2–5 years. PROs included Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (CHAQ-DI), parent global assessment of child well-being (PaGA), pain assessment, and Activity Limitation Questionnaire (ALQ). Clinical outcomes included 50% or greater improvement in JIA American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria, clinically inactive disease, and Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score. Results: For the 6- to 17-year-old (n = 173) and 2- to 5-year-old (n = 46) cohorts, respectively, median (Q1, Q3) changes from baseline in CHAQ-DI at months 4 and 24 were −0.3 (−0.8, 0.0) and −0.5 (−1.0, −0.1), and −0.4 (−0.8, 0.0) and −0.5 (−1.0–−0.1). Median pain scores were below cutoff threshold for clinically relevant pain (<35 mm) by month 1 (6 to 17 years, 32.3 mm; 2 to 5 years, 25.7 mm), reaching a nadir at month 24 (6 to 17 years, 6.0 mm; 2 to 5 years, 2.0 mm). For the 6- to 17-year-old and 2- to 5-year-old cohorts, respectively, median PaGA scores were 47.8 (n = 172) and 42.1 (n = 46) at baseline and 6.3 (n = 107) and 2.0 (n = 37) at month 24. In both cohorts, ALQ components improved from baseline to month 4 and were largely maintained to month 24. Clinical outcomes improved through to month 24. Conclusion: Early and sustained PRO improvements were reported in this phase III, open-label trial of subcutaneous abatacept in patients with pJIA.
