All of the following criteria must be met to be defined as a flare: > 30% worsening in at least 3 of the 6 JRA/JIA core response variables > 30% improvement in not more than 1 of the 6 JRA/JIA core set variables ≥ 2 cm of worsening must be present if the Physician or Parent Global Assessment is used to define flare worsening in ≥ 2 joints must be present if the number of active joints or joints with limitation of motion is used to define flare based on changes in the surrogate marker, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Participants With a Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis/Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JRA/JIA) Disease With a Flare During Double-Blind Phase (Period B) [Period B (Day 113 to Day 282)]

      All of the following criteria must be met to be defined as a flare: > 30% worsening in at least 3 of the 6 JRA/JIA core response variables > 30% improvement in not more than 1 of the 6 JRA/JIA core set variables ≥ 2 cm of worsening must be present if the Physician or Parent Global Assessment is used to define flare worsening in ≥ 2 joints must be present if the number of active joints or joints with limitation of motion is used to define flare based on changes in the surrogate marker, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)

    2. Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Treatment-Related AEs, Deaths, Discontinuation of Study Drug Due to AEs During Open-Label Lead-In Phase (Period A) [Period A (Day 1 to Day 113)]

      AE=any new unfavorable symptom, sign or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that may not have a causal relationship with treatment. SAE=a medical event that at any dose results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or drug dependency/abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires or prolongs hospitalization. Treatment-related=having certain, probable, possible or missing relationship to study drug. Death=during the study and up to 28 days past study discontinuation. The select AEs were determined using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA, v14.1).

    3. Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Treatment-Related AEs, Deaths, Discontinuation of Study Drug Due to AEs During Double-Blind Phase (Period B) [Period B (Day 113 to Day 282)]

SAE=a medical event that at any dose results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or drug dependency/abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires or prolongs hospitalization. Treatment-related=having certain, probable, possible or missing relationship to study drug. Death=during the study and up to 28 days past study discontinuation.

SAE=a medical event that at any dose results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or drug dependency/abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires or prolongs hospitalization. Treatment-related=having certain, probable, possible or missing relationship to study drug. Death=during the study and up to 85 days past study discontinuation. The select AEs were determined using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA, v14.1).

    5. Median Percent Change From Baseline in JRA/JIA Core Set Variables During Double-Blind Phase (Period B) [Period B (Day 113 to Day 282)]

      Percent change from baseline was calculated from the difference between post-baseline and baseline divided by baseline multiplied by 100 and reported as the range between 25th and 75th percentile, not full range; American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Pediatric 30 JRA/JIA core set variables include active joints, limited range of motion, physician global assessment of disease severity, parent global assessment of overall well-being, change in physical function as measured by the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP). Disease activity was assessed by the physician and parent on a 0-100 mm visual analog scale (VAS). Low values represent low severity of disease and good well-being whereas high values represent highly severe disease and very poor well-being.

    6. Median Percent Change From Baseline in JRA/JIA Core Set Variables During Open-Label Phase (Period C) [Period C (Day 282 to end of study)]

Disease activity was assessed by the physician and parent on a 0-100 mm visual analog scale (VAS). Low values represent low severity of disease and good well-being whereas high values represent highly severe disease and very poor well-being.

    Title Number of Participants With Anti-Abatacept or Anti-CTLA4 Positive Responses Over Time During Open-Label Phase (Period C)
    Description During Period C, blood samples for immunogenicity assessments were obtained just prior to the start of the IV infusion of abatacept at 3-month intervals during the first 2 years of Period C, at 6-month intervals thereafter, and again 28, 56, and 85 days after the last infusion. Direct-format, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were used to evaluate the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA4) and the anti-CTLA4-T antibody.
