PROVEN RESULTS WITH
ILARIS FOR AOSD

ILARIS® is a treatment for a rare autoinflammatory disease called Still's disease, which is referred to as Adult-Onset Still's Disease (AOSD) in adults and Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (SJIA) in children 2 years of age or older. It's the only medication FDA approved in the United States to treat both forms of Still's disease.

ILARIS received FDA approval for SJIA based on research that included 190 patients. ILARIS has been shown to help with both systemic (fever) and arthritis (painful and/or swollen joints) symptoms of active SJIA. FDA approval for AOSD was based on established efficacy of ILARIS in SJIA patients and evaluations of clinical data of AOSD and SJIA patients.

ILARIS helped provide fast symptom relief in a study of patients with SJIA:

Approximately 8 out of 10 children experienced improvements in their AOSD symptoms 15 days after their first dose of ILARIS

15 days after their first dose of
ILARIS, approximately 8 out of
10 patients experienced
improvement in fever and
painful and/or swollen joints

100% of patients were fever free at day 3 in a study

3 days after taking their first
dose of ILARIS, 100% of
patients had no fever

ILARIS Reduced or Stopped
Corticosteroid Use in SJIA*

62% stopped or reduced use of corticosteroids

About 2 out of 3 patients (57/92) whose symptoms were controlled appropriately during treatment with ILARIS were able to stop or reduce the use of corticosteroids

46% were able to stop taking corticosteroids completely

Almost half of patients (42/92) whose symptoms were controlled appropriately were able to stop taking corticosteroids completely

*128 patients entered the clinical study taking corticosteroids. 92 of these patients entered a part of the clinical trial to see if they could reduce or stop taking corticosteroids.

ILARIS reduced the risks of future flare

In a study, the risk of future flares was reduced by 64% for patients in the ILARIS group as compared to those in the placebo group†

†Placebo group is the group that did not take ILARIS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

ILARIS can cause serious side effects, including increased risk of serious infections. ILARIS can lower the ability of your immune system to fight infections. Your healthcare provider should:

  • test you for tuberculosis (TB) before you receive ILARIS

  • monitor you closely for symptoms of TB during treatment with ILARIS

  • check you for symptoms of any type of infection before, during, and after treatment with ILARIS

Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have any symptoms of an infection such as fever, sweats or chills, cough, flu-like symptoms, weight loss, shortness of breath, blood in your phlegm, sores on your body, warm or painful areas on your body, diarrhea or stomach pain, or feeling very tired.

Do not receive ILARIS if you are allergic to canakinumab or any of the ingredients in ILARIS.

Before receiving ILARIS, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you:

  • think you have or are being treated for an active infection

  • have symptoms of infection

  • have a history of infections that keep coming back

  • have a history of low white blood cells

  • have or have had HIV, Hepatitis B, or Hepatitis C

  • have recently received or are scheduled to receive any vaccinations

    • You should be brought up to date with all age required vaccines before starting treatment with ILARIS

    • You should not receive "live" vaccines while you are being treated with ILARIS and until your healthcare provider tells you that your immune system is no longer weakened

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Especially tell your healthcare provider if you take:

  • medicines that affect your immune system

  • medicines called interleukin-1 (IL-1) blocking agents such as Kineret® (anakinra) or Arcalyst® (rilonacept)

  • medicines called tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors such as Enbrel® (etanercept), Humira® (adalimumab), Remicade® (infliximab), Simponi® (golimumab), or Cimzia® (certolizumab pegol)

  • medicines that affect enzyme metabolism

Ask your healthcare provider for a list of these medicines if you are not sure.

ILARIS can cause serious side effects including:

  • serious infections

  • decreased ability of the body to fight infections (immunosuppression). For people treated with medicines that cause immunosuppression like ILARIS, the chances of getting cancer may increase

  • allergic reactions. Allergic reactions can happen while receiving ILARIS. Call your healthcare provider right away if you have any of these symptoms of an allergic reaction: difficulty breathing or swallowing, nausea, dizziness or feeling faint, rash, itching or hives, palpitations (feels like your heart is racing), or low blood pressure

  • risk of infection with live vaccines. You should not get live vaccines if you are receiving ILARIS. Tell your healthcare provider if you are scheduled to receive any vaccines

Tell your healthcare provider about any side effect that bothers you or does not go away.

What is Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS)?

MAS is a syndrome associated with Still's disease and some other autoinflammatory diseases like HIDS/MKD that can lead to death. Tell your healthcare provider right away if your AOSD or SJIA symptoms get worse or if you have any of these symptoms of an infection:

  • a fever lasting longer than 3 days

  • a cough that does not go away
