PG - 1171-7 LID - 10.3899/jrheum.130924 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: Tocilizumab (TCZ), an antiinterleukin-6 receptor monoclonal antibody, is clinically beneficial in patients with systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA). We investigated the clinical and radiological outcomes of TCZ therapy in patients with sJIA. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 2 clinical trials (NCT00144599 and NCT00144612) involving 40 patients with sJIA who received intravenous TCZ (8 mg/kg) every 2 weeks. Clinical data and radiographs of the hands and large joints were assessed before and during TCZ treatment. The Poznanski score, modified Larsen scores of the hands and large joints, and Childhood Arthritis Radiographic Score of the Hip (CARSH) were recorded. RESULTS: After a mean duration of 4.5 years of TCZ treatment, clinical data had improved significantly, the mean Poznanski score improved from -1.5 to -1.1, the mean Larsen score of the hands deteriorated from 7.0 to 10.0, the mean Larsen score for the large joints deteriorated from 5.9 to 6.8, and the CARSH worsened from 3.9 to 6.2. The Larsen score for the large joints improved in 11 cases (28%), remained unchanged in 8 cases (20%), and worsened in 21 cases (52%). Matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3) levels remained significantly higher (278 mg/dl) in patients with worsened Larsen scores than in patients with improved or unchanged scores (65 mg/dl). Logistic regression analysis showed that older age at disease onset was a significant risk factor for radiographic progression. CONCLUSION: The modified Larsen score of the large joints deteriorated in half the patients who had high MMP-3 levels during TCZ treatment and who were significantly older at disease onset.
