Authors' objectives: To assess the available evidence on the efficacy, safety and coverage related aspects regarding the use of etanercept, adalimumab, infliximab and golimumab in patients with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.
Authors' recommendations: The evidence found is high quality. JIA treatment with etanercept and adalimumab has demonstrated to improve disease relapse. The use of etanercept is accepted by regulatory agencies, health sponsors and CPG. The use of adalimumab is less homogeneous and depends on local costs and availability. Infliximab has not been approved by the FDA and ANMAT and golimumab is under Phase II research for JIA. They are indicated for patients 4 to 17 years old whose disease remains active with involvement in 5 or more joints after 3-6 months of treatment with methotrexate and another disease-modifying drug. They are not recommended for systemic forms with no joint involvement.
