Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (sJIA)

This is a study to evaluate safety and effectiveness of Ilaris in adult and pediatric patients receiving the drug in a clinical setting for any of the following indications, Hereditary Periodic Fever Syndromes, Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS), colchicine resistance familial Mediterranean fever (crFMF), TNF receptor associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS), Hyper-IgD syndrome / Mevalonate kinase deficiency (HIDS/MKD) or Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA).

Literature data suggest that elevated blood values of IL-18 and IL-18 Binding Protein and alterations in their ratio may be significantly correlated with various autoinflammatory diseases, such as systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, recurrent autoinflammatory fevers etc. In this view, the clinical implication of this observational, prospective, single-centre, non-pharmacological study will be the definition of new laboratory markers that may be useful in the early differential diagnosis of certain rare and serious paediatric diseases.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of using a reduced-intensity condition (RIC) regimen with umbilical cord blood transplant (UCBT), double cord UCBT, matched unrelated donor (MUD) bone marrow transplant (BMT) or peripheral blood stem cell transplant (PBSCT) in patients with non-malignant disorders that are amenable to treatment with hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). After transplant, subjects will be followed for late effects and for ongoing graft success.
