Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

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.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Male and female patients aged ≥1 and ≤17 years (or country specified age requirement, ≥6 to ≤17 years for Russia) at the time of the screening visit.
* Diagnosis of systemic JIA subtype according to the International Associations against Rheumatism (ILAR) 2001 Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) Classification Criteria OR According to 2024 EULAR/PReS recommendation at Screening.
* Patient with an inadequate response to current treatment and considered as a candidate for a biologic disease modifying anti rheumatic drug (DMARD) as per investigator's judgment.

Exclusion Criteria

* Body weight \<10 kg or \>60 kg for patients enrolled in the ascending dose cohorts, then body weight \<10 kg for patients subsequently enrolled at the selected dose.
* Uncontrolled severe systemic symptoms and/or Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS) within 6 months prior to screening.
* History of or ongoing interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary alveolar proteinosis.
* If nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (including cyclo oxygenase-2 inhibitors \[COX-2\]) taken, dose stable for less than 2 weeks prior to the baseline visit and/or dosing prescribed outside of approved label.
* If non-biologic DMARD taken, dose stable for less than 6 weeks prior to the baseline visit or at a dose exceeding the recommended dose as per local labeling.
* If oral glucocorticoid taken, dose exceeding equivalent prednisone dose 1 mg/kg/day (or 60 mg/day) within 3 days prior to baseline.
* Use of parenteral or intra-articular glucocorticoid injection within 4 weeks prior to baseline.
* Prior treatment with anti-interleukin 6 (IL-6) or IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) antagonist therapies, including but not limited to tocilizumab or sarilumab.
* Treatment with any biologic treatment for sJIA within 5 half-lives prior to the first dose of sarilumab (the required off treatment periods and procedures may vary according to local requirements).
* Treatment with a Janus kinase inhibitor within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of sarilumab; and treatment with growth hormone within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of sarilumab (the required off treatment periods and procedures may vary according to local requirements).
* Treatment with any investigational biologic or non-biologic product within 8 weeks or 5 half-lives prior to baseline, whichever is longer.
* Exclusion related to tuberculosis.
* Any live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to the baseline visit, such as varicella-zoster, oral polio, rubella vaccines. Killed or inactive vaccine may be permitted based on the Investigator's judgment.
* Exclusion related to history of a systemic hypersensitivity reaction to any biologic drug and known hypersensitivity to any constituent of the product.
* Laboratory abnormalities at the screening visit (identified by the central laboratory).
