Canakinumab receives EMA approval for Still's disease including AOSD

Adult-Onset Still's Disease

Summary

Canakinumab (Ilaris) received EMA conditional marketing authorization for the treatment of Still's disease, covering both systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) and adult-onset Still's disease. This represents the first specifically approved biologic for AOSD in Europe, supported by the CONSIDER phase II RCT and extensive sJIA data. Note: FDA approved canakinumab for sJIA in 2013 but has not granted a separate AOSD indication.
