An observational study in Hereditary Periodic Fever Syndromes, Cryopyrin-associated Periodic Syndromes (CAPS) and Colchicine Resistance Familial Mediterranean Fever (crFMF), sponsored by Novartis Pharmaceuticals. Recruiting at 1 site in South Korea. Open to participants aged 2 Years to 100 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-05-19.
Sponsored by Novartis Pharmaceuticals (part of Novartis) · Observational
This is a study to evaluate safety and effectiveness of Ilaris in adult and pediatric patients receiving the drug in a clinical setting for any of the following indications, Hereditary Periodic Fever Syndromes, Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS), colchicine resistance familial Mediterranean fever (crFMF), TNF receptor associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS), Hyper-IgD syndrome / Mevalonate kinase deficiency (HIDS/MKD) or Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA).
This is a prospective observational, multicenter, uncontrolled, open-label non-interventional study in ≥2 year and \<19 year-old pediatric and ≥19 year-old adult hereditary periodic fever syndrome patients and ≥2 year and \<19 year-old sJIA patients receiving Ilaris for the treatment of CAPS, crFMF, TRAPS, HIDS/MKD and sJIA, respectively, partially using retrospective observation to collect and evaluate data on the safety and effectiveness of Ilaris in patients receiving this drug in a clinical setting for any of these indications. The whole study period is up to 4 years, consisting of a 2-year enrollment period and 2-year observation period.
As all pediatric and adult hereditary periodic fever syndrome patients and all sJIA patients receiving Ilaris for approved indications will be enrolled, this study has no fixed sample size.
For subjects who started Ilaris before enrolling in this study, the safety and effectiveness baseline and early period data will be retrospectively collected.

Compared within Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes, this study's primary condition as ClinicalTrials.gg classifies it; the registry's first condition term is Hereditary Autoinflammatory Diseases. The counts are of registry records indexed under each term, refreshed daily. How we classify →
≥2 year and \<19 year-old pediatric and ≥19 year-old adult hereditary periodic fever syndrome patients and ≥2 year and \<19 year-old sJIA patients receiving Ilaris for the treatment of CAPS, crFMF, TRAPS, HIDS/MKD and sJIA

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.
Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Patients treated with Ilaris in a clinical setting
Biological: Ilaris
Prospective observational study. There is no treatment allocation.
Incidence of adverse events and serious adverse events
Adverse events and serious adverse events in hereditary periodic fever syndrome (CAPS, crFMF, TRAPS and HIDS/MKD) and sJIA patients treated with Ilaris.
Time frame: Up to 104 weeks from Ilaris treatment
Proportion of complete responders
Defining patients as responders when they are assessed as having achieved complete response at 4 weeks of treatment and reach 16 weeks of treatment without flare for crFMF, TRAPS, HIDS/MKD and sJIA patients or complete response at 8 weeks of treatment and reach 16 weeks of treatment without flare for CAPS patients. Complete response will be evaluated in patients with data of clinical response as measured by Physician Global Assessment of Disease Activity (PGA) (5-point scale of none, minor, mild, moderate and severe) Complete response is defined as meeting both of the following criteria. * PGA ≤ minor (PGA \< 2) (clinical response) * CRP ≤10 mg/L (= 1 mg/dL), or reduction by ≥70% from the start of treatment (serological response) Flare is defined as meeting both of the following criteria. * PGA ≥ mild (PGA ≥ 2) (clinical flare) * CRP \>30 mg/L (= 3 mg/dL) (serological flare)
Time frame: Up to 16 weeks from Liars treatment
Proportion of participants with Physician Global Assessment of Disease Activity (PGA) score <2
Participants assessed by physician on Physician's Global Assessment measured on a 5--point scale for disease activity as: 0 = None/absent; 1 = Minor; 2 = Mild; 3 = Moderate; 4 = Severe.
Time frame: Up to 104 weeks from Ilaris treatment
Proportion of patients with C- reactive protein (CRP) serological response
Proportion of patients with a C-reactive protein (CRP) of ≤ 10 mg/L or a ≥ 70% decrease from the start of treatment.
Time frame: Up to 104 weeks from Ilaris treatment
Proportions of patients with serum amyloid A (SAA) normalization
Proportions of patients with serum amyloid A (SAA) normalization defined as SAA ≤ 10 mg/L.
Time frame: Up to 104 weeks from Ilaris treatment
Proportion of patients classified in each severity level in the physician's severity assessment of key disease -specific signs and symptoms
Physician's severity assessment of key disease-specific signs/symptoms uses the following 5- point scale. 0 = none 1. = minor 2. = mild 3. = moderate 4. = severe Key signs/symptoms to be assessed differ from disease to disease under study, which are as follows. CAPS: hearing impairment, visual impairment, renal impairment, and joint dysfunction, skin rash, injection site reaction crFMF: chest pain, abdominal pain, arthralgia/arthritis, skin rash TRAPS: skin rash, musculoskeletal pain, abdominal pain, eye manifestations HIDS (MKD): lymphadenopathy, aphthous ulcers, abdominal pain sJIA: arthritis, generalized lymphadenopathy, rheumatoid rash, hepatosplenomegaly or splenomegaly, serositis
Time frame: Up to 104 weeks from Ilaris treatment
Proportions of patients classified in each severity level in symptoms likely to significantly affect affect physical functioning and vital prognosis
Symptoms that may significantly affect physical functioning and vital prognosis will be evaluated using the following 5-point scale. 0 = none 1. = minor 2. = mild 3. = moderate 4. = severe Evaluation of auditory disorder, visual disorder and renal impairment, and status of central nervous system disorder
Time frame: Up to 104 weeks from Ilaris treatment
Percent change from baseline in Health related quality of life (HRQOL) measured by Child Health Questionnaire-Parent Form 50 (CHQ-PF50)
The CHQ is a generic self-administered instrument designed to capture the physical, emotional, and social components of health status of children. It comprises 15 health concepts (range, 0 to 100) exploring either physical and psychosocial domains. Higher scores in the scales indicate better HRQoL.
Time frame: Up to 104 weeks from Ilaris treatment
Percent change from baseline in Health related quality of life (HRQOL) measured by 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36)
The SF-36 health survey is a subjective measure of health-related QoL and consists of 36 questions relating to eight domains: physical functioning, social functioning, physical role functioning, emotional role functioning, vitality, mental health, pain, and general health. Scores of each domain varies from 0 to 100 points, and a higher score represents better QoL
Time frame: Up to 104 weeks from Ilaris treatment
Percent change from baseline in Health related quality of life (HRQOL) measured by Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Specific Health Problem v2.0 (WPAI-SHP)
The WPAI-SHP contains six items relating to health problems interfering with work or daily activities over the previous week, the WPASI-SHP yields four scores, absenteeism, presenteeism, work productivity loss, and activity impairment, which can range from 0 (no impact on work/activities) to 100 (total incapacity).
