Efficacy and Safety Study of Canakinumab Administered for 6 Months (24 Weeks) in Japanese Patients With Cryopyrin-associated Periodic Syndromes Followed by an Extension Phase
An Open-label, Efficacy and Safety Study of Canakinumab (Anti-interleukin-1β Monoclonal Antibody) Administered for 6 Months (24 Weeks) in Japanese Patients With the Following Cryopyrin-associated Periodic Syndromes: Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome, Muckle-Wells Syndrome, or Neonatal Onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease, Followed by an Extension Phase to Provide Canakinumab to Study Patients Until it is Approved and Marketed in Japan

Brief Summary
To date there are no approved effective therapies for the treatment of cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS) including Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome (FCAS), Muckle-Wells Syndrome (MWS), or Neonatal Onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease (NOMID) in Japan. The study will assess the efficacy and safety of canakinumab in Japanese patients with cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS). In previous and currently ongoing CAPS studies (CACZ885A2102, CACZ885D2201, CACZ885D2304, CACZ885D2306), it has been observed that treatment with canakinumab in patients with CAPS contributed to ensure absence of relapse, to improve signs and symptoms and to prevent secondary disease complications. However, no Japanese patients have been included in those studies. This study will allow access for Japanese patients to a new potentially efficacious treatment for CAPS patients with a convenient dosing regimen.

- For NOMID patients:
- Typical NOMID urticarial rash
- Signs of central nervous system (CNS) involvement such as increased intracranial pressure and/or papilledema and/or cerebral spinal fluid pleiocytosis and/or stroke and/or seizures, and/or sensorineural hearing loss
- Typical arthropatic changes on X-rays: epiphysal and/or patellar overgrowth With start of NOMID symptoms before or at 6 months of age
- For MWS patients:
- periodic fever
- headache/migraine
- arthralgia
- urticarial skin rash

- For FCAS patients:
- +6 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women.
- All women capable of becoming pregnant unless they are postmenopausal or are using one or more methods of contraception.
- Participation in any other study within 30 days

For example, major chronic infectious/ inflammatory/ immunologic disease (such as inflammatory bowel disease, psoriatic arthritis, spondyloarthropathy, systemic lupus erythematosus in addition to the autoinflammatory disease).
- Presence of any of the following laboratory abnormalities: ALT or AST greater than 2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), platelet count less than 100x109/L.
- History of recurrent and/or evidence of clinically significant active bacterial, fungal, or viral infections.
