Treatment for macrophage activation syndrome associated with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis in Japan

© 2023 Asia Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology and John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd..

OBJECTIVES: To clarify how pediatric rheumatologists treat systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (s-JIA) associated macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) in the real world and to assess the efficacy and safety of dexamethasone palmitate (DEX-P) in the treatment of s-JIA-associated MAS.

METHODS: This multicenter, retrospective study was conducted at 13 pediatric rheumatology institutes in Japan. This study included 28 patients with s-JIA-associated MAS. Clinical findings, such as treatment details and adverse events, were evaluated.

RESULTS: Methylprednisolone (mPSL) pulse therapy was selected as the first-line treatment in more than half of the patients with MAS. Cyclosporine A (CsA) was used as first-line therapy in combination with corticosteroids in half of the patients with MAS. DEX-P and/or CsA were selected as the second-line therapy in 63% of patients with corticosteroid-resistant MAS. Plasma exchange was selected as the third-line therapy for DEX-P and CsA-resistant MAS. All patients improved and there were no characteristically severe adverse events associated with DEX-P.

CONCLUSIONS: The first-line treatment for MAS in Japan is mPSL pulse therapy and/or CyA. DEX-P could be an effective and safe therapeutic option for patients with corticosteroid-resistant MAS.
