What was measured

The childhood health assessment questionnaire, CHAQ was used to assess physical ability and functional status of patients as well as quality of life. The disability dimension consists of 20 multiple choice items concerning difficulty in performing eight common activities of daily living; dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, reaching, personal hygiene, gripping and other "activities". Parents choose from four response categories, ranging from 0(without any difficulty) to 3(unable to do). A negative change indicates improvement.

Analysis population: Participants from the Full Analysis Set Part I with data at baseline and End of Part I.

Groups in this outcome

Canakinumab

In Part I participants received open label 4 mg/kg canakinumab subcutaneous injection every 4 weeks for up to 32 weeks. For the first 8 weeks Part Ia (4 weeks) and Ib (4 weeks) patients maintained a stable oral steroid dose (prednisone or equivalent) followed by Ic an up to 20 week steroid tapering period and then Id a 4 week stable steroid dose period. Participants were then randomized to receive either 4 mg/kg canakinumab subcutaneous injection or Placebo comparator in Part II and remained on the stable oral steroid dose for 24 weeks. At 24 weeks in Part II participants with a \>0.2 mg/kg and ≤ 0.5 mg/kg and no flare could restart steroid tapering. If the steroid dose was ≤ 0.2 mg/kg participants continued to maintain their current dose for the remainder of Part II.
