An Observational Study to Assess Change in Disease Activity and Adverse Events of Adalimumab in Chinese Pediatric Participants With Polyarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (pJIA)

About the study

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatic disease affecting children, characterized by chronic synovitis with systemic multi-organ damage. Polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pJIA) is a subtype of JIA defined as disease involving more than five joints in the first 6 months of disease. This study will assess how safe and effective adalimumab (Humira®) is in treating pediatric participants with pJIA in China real-world setting. Adalimumab is an approved drug for the treatment of pJIA. Approximately 50 participants age 2 to 17 who are prescribed adalimumab for the treatment of pJIA in routine clinical practice will be enrolled at multiple sites in China. Participants will receive adalimumab per their physician's usual prescription. Individual data will be collected for 52 weeks. No additional study-related tests will be conducted during the routine physician visits. Only data which are routinely collected during a regular visit will be utilized for this study.
