The 4th NextGen therapies of SJIA and MAS, part 4 : it is time for IL-18 based trials in systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis?

© 2023. The Author(s)..

Since IL-18 has recently emerged as a biomarker associated with refractory disease course in SJIA, the focus of the discussion was the feasibility of the biomarker-driven drug development to SJIA. Overall, there was broad agreement on the conclusion that IL-18 is a uniquely specific biomarker for many of the subsets of SJIA most in need of new therapies, and it may define a class of diseases mediated by IL-18 excess. The consensus was that leveraging IL-18 remains our most promising "lead" for use in refractory SJIA as it may mechanistically explain the disease pathophysiology and lead to more targeted therapies.
