Combination therapy with prednisone or etanercept may induce earlier and/or more improvement in disease activity in Disease Modifying Anti Rheumatic Drug (DMARD) naïve non-systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) patients. Here we present three months clinical outcome of initial treatments of the BeSt-for-Kids study.
Included patients were randomized to either: 1. initial DMARD-monotherapy (sulfasalazine (SSZ) or methotrexate (MTX)), 2. Initial MTX / prednisolone-bridging, 3. Initial combination MTX/etanercept. Percentage inactive disease, adjusted (a) ACR Pedi30, 50 and 70 and JADAS after 6 and 12 weeks of treatment (intention to treat analysis) and side effects are reported.
94 patients (67% girls, 32 (arm 1), 32 (arm 2) and 30 (arm 3) with median (InterQuartileRange) age of 9.1 (4.7-12.9) years were included. 38% were ANA positive, 10 had oligo-articular disease, 68 polyarticular JIA and 16 psoriatic arthritis. Baseline median (IQR) ACRpedi-scores: VAS physician 49 (40-58) mm, VAS patient 54 (37-70) mm, ESR 6.5 (2-14.8)mm/hr, active joint count 8 (5-12), limited joint count 3 (1-5), CHAQ score 0.88 (0.63-1.5). In arm 1, 17 started with MTX, 15 with SSZ. After 3 months, aACR Pedi 50 was reached by 10/32 (31%), 12/32(38%) and 16/30 (53%) (p = 0.19) and aACR Pedi 70 was reached by 8/32 (25%), 6/32(19%) and 14/30(47%) in arms 1-3 (p = 0.04). Toxicity was similar. Few serious adverse events were reported.
After 3 months of treatment in a randomized trial, patients with recent-onset JIA achieved significantly more clinical improvement (aACRPedi70) on initial combination therapy with MTX / etanercept than on initial MTX or SSZ monotherapy.

对于初治的非系统性幼年特发性关节炎(JIA)患者,联合使用泼尼松或依那西普进行治疗可能会更早和/或更大程度地改善疾病活动度。在此,我们展示了“儿童最佳治疗方案”研究初始治疗的三个月临床结果。
纳入的患者被随机分为以下几组:1. 初始使用缓解病情抗风湿药(DMARD)单药治疗(柳氮磺胺吡啶(SSZ)或甲氨蝶呤(MTX));2. 初始使用MTX/泼尼松龙桥接治疗;3. 初始联合使用MTX/依那西普。报告了治疗6周和12周后(意向性分析)的疾病非活动百分比、调整后的(a)美国风湿病学会儿科30%、50%和70%改善标准(ACR Pedi30、50和70)以及幼年特发性关节炎疾病活动度评分(JADAS)和副作用。
共纳入94例患者(67%为女孩),第1组、第2组和第3组分别有32例、32例和例30,中位(四分位间距)年龄为9.1(4.7 - 12.9)岁。38%的患者抗核抗体(ANA)呈阳性,10例为少关节型疾病,68例为多关节型JIA,16例为银屑病关节炎。基线时中位(IQR)ACR儿科评分:医生视觉模拟评分(VAS)为49((40 - 58)mm,患者VAS为54(37 - 70)mm,红细胞沉降率(ESR)为6.5(2 - 14.8)mm/小时,活动关节计数为8(5 - 12),受限关节计数为3(1 - 5),儿童健康评估问卷(CHAQ)评分为0.88(0.63 - 1.5)。在第1组中,17例起始使用MTX,15例起始使用SSZ。3个月后,第1 - 3组达到aACR Pedi 50的比例分别为10/32(31%)、12/32(38%)和16/30(53%)(p = 0.19),达到aACR Pedi 70的比例分别为8/32(25%)、6/32(19%)和14/30(47%)(p = 0.04)。毒性反应相似。报告的严重不良事件较少。
在一项随机试验中治疗3个月后,新发病的JIA患者在初始联合使用MTX/依那西普治疗时,比初始使用MTX或SSZ单药治疗取得了显著更多的临床改善(aACR Pedi70)。
