Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Primary Objective:

To describe the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of sarilumab in patients aged 1-17 years with Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (sJIA) in order to identify the dose and regimen for adequate treatment of this population.

Secondary Objective:

To describe the pharmacodynamics (PD) profile, the efficacy, and the long term safety of sarilumab in patients with sJIA.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

Detailed Description

The total study duration per patient will be 166 weeks that will consist of a 4- week screening, a 12-week core treatment phase, a 144-week extension phase, and a 6-week post-treatment follow-up.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Sarilumab

Participants will receive one of two ascending doses (or an additional intermediate dose based on available data) of sarilumab by subcutaneous (SC) injection based on body weight. All the participants will receive the selected dose once the selected dose is identified. Sarilumab will be given during 12-week core treatment phase followed by a 144- week extension treatment phase.

Drug: Sarilumab SAR153191 (REGN88)
Pharmaceutical form: Solution Route of administration: Subcutaneous
