  11. Time to Resolution of the Initial Flare After First Canakinumab Treatment [Day 1 (Baseline), Day 28]

    Time to resolution of the initial flare after first dose of canakinumab was determined.

  12. Change From Baseline in Inflammation Markers Over Time up to Month 24 [Baseline, Month 6 (End of treatment period), Month 12 (End of follow up period), Month 24 (End of Long term treatment period 1) and Month 36 (End of Long term treatment period 2)]

    The C-reactive Protein (CRP) and/or Serum amyloid A protein (SAA) were used as inflammatory markers. The normal range of CRP was 0-10 mg/L.

    Participants were assessed for health-related quality of life (HRQoL) based on Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ). HAQ was an eight 8 categories questionnaire representing all activities related to physical function. Each category has various sub-categories, which were rated by the participants on a 4- point difficulty scale: 0 = any difficulty; 1 = some difficulty; 2 = much difficulty; 3 = unable to do. The total score was the mean of the 8 scores, and ranged from 0 (no disability) to 3 (completely disabled).

    Participants or their parents (participants aged 6 to 17 years) were assessed for HRQoL based on Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ). CHAQ was an eight domain questionnaire representing functional capacity and independence, evaluated for previous week. Each domain was rated on a 4-point difficulty scale: 0 = any difficulty; 1 = some difficulty; 2 = much difficulty; 3 = unable to do.The total score is the mean from the 8 scores, and ranges from 0 (no disability) to 3 (completely disabled).

  15. Percentage of Participants Who Received Dose Up-titration During 6-month Treatment Period [Day 1 up to Month 6 (End of follow up)]

    The median time to flare by the participants after administration of the last dose of canakinumab during the follow-up period was analysed using Kaplan-Meier method.

  18. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [Day 1 (Start of study treatment) up to Month 36 (End of study)]

    Adverse events (AEs) were defined as any unfavorable and unintended diagnosis, symptom, sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), syndrome or disease which either occurs during study, having been absent at baseline, or, if present at baseline, appears to worsen. Serious adverse events (SAEs) were defined as any untoward medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require (or prolong) hospitalisation, cause persistent or significant disability/incapacity, result in congenital anomalies or birth defects, or are other conditions which in judgement of investigators represent significant hazards.

  19. Participants Who Received Rescue Treatment [Baseline up to Month 36 (End of study)]

    Participants who experienced flares were treated with corticosteroids and NSAIDs as rescue medication.

  20. Serum Concentration-time Profile of Canakinumab [Day 1 (Pre-dose), Day 4, Day 15, Day 43, Day 85, Day 127, Day 169 (End of treatment period), Day 197, Day 225, Day 253, Day 281, Day 309, and Day 337 (End of follow-up period) (Post-dose)]

    Canakinumab concentrations in serum were assessed for evaluating pharmacokinetics (PK) of the drug.

  21. Serum Concentration of Total Interleukin-1β Antibody (IL-1β) [Day 1 (Pre-dose), Day 4, Day 15, Day 43, Day 85, Day 127, Day 169 (End of treatment period), Day 197, Day 225, Day 253, Day 281, Day 309, and Day 337 (End of follow-up period) (Post-dose)]

    Pharmacodynamics of canakinumab was assessed by total IL-1β (sum of free and bound canakinumab) concentration, determined in serum by means of sandwich ELISA assay with limit of detection at 0.1 picogram/millilitre.

  22. Number of Participants Exhibiting Anti-canakinumab Antibodies at Any Visit [Baseline up to Month 36 (End of study)]

    Immunogenicity assessment included determination of anti-canakinumab (ACZ885) antibodies in serum samples using bridging ECLIA assay.

The dose was escalated to additional 150 mg (2 mg/kg for participants ≤40 kg) dose at the moment of flare, and 450 mg (6 mg/kg for participants ≤40 kg) every 6 weeks, thereafter starting at Week 6 in participants who experienced a new HIDS flare between baseline and Week 4 as per investigator's discretion. If the flare occurred between Weeks 5-6, the participants received rescue medication and waited up to Week 6 to receive a total of 450 mg of canakinumab.

19. Secondary Outcome
Title Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Description Adverse events (AEs) were defined as any unfavorable and unintended diagnosis, symptom, sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), syndrome or disease which either occurs during study, having been absent at baseline, or, if present at baseline, appears to worsen. Serious adverse events (SAEs) were defined as any untoward medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require (or prolong) hospitalisation, cause persistent or significant disability/incapacity, result in congenital anomalies or birth defects, or are other conditions which in judgement of investigators represent significant hazards.
Time Frame Day 1 (Start of study treatment) up to Month 36 (End of study)

Analysis Population Description
The analysis was performed on Safety Set (SAF) population defined as all participants who received at least one application of study treatment and had at least one post-baseline safety assessment.
