Primary Outcome(s)
Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives of the trial are
• to show improvement of each of the 4 categories contributing to the ASAS40 criterion
1. Spinal inflammation
2. Back pain (total and nocturnal)
3. Patient's global assessment
4. Physical function
• to show superiority of adalimumab with respect to the ACR Ped 30 response criterion as compared to placebo
• to show improvement of each of the 6 categories contributing to the ACR Ped Score
1. Physician's global assessment of subject's disease activity
2. Parent's global assessment of subject's overall well-being
3. Number of active joints
4. Number of joints with limitation of motion
5. Measure of physical function (in this study the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire CHAQ will be used)
6. Laboratory measure of inflammation (in this study the CRP will be used).
Primary end point(s): Response rates according to the ASAS40 criteria at Week 12. A responder is defined as a patient who achieved improvement in at least 3 of 4 domains contributing to the ASAS, with no worsening in the remaining domain:
1. Spinal inflammation
2. Back pain
3. Patient's global assessment
4. Physical function.
Main Objective: The study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatment of juvenile ankylosing spondylitis (JAS) with adalimumab. The primary objectives are
• to demonstrate the superiority of adalimumab with respect to the ASAS Working Group response criterion ASAS40 as compared to placebo
• to contrast the safety profile of adalimumab with placebo in subjects with JAS.
