ILARIS®—Proven Efficacy

Complete Response, Sustained Response in Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes (CAPS)

ILARIS® (canakinumab) is the first and only treatment approved for Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome ( FCAS) and Muckle-Wells Syndrome in both adult patients and pediatric patients aged 4 years and older.

ILARIS® has demonstrated proven efficacy by providing complete and sustained response in the treatment of patients suffering from CAPS.*

  • 97% of CAPS patients achieved complete response by Week 8. 71% achieved complete response in just 7 days1,2
  • Complete response was defined as ratings of minimal or absent for physician's assessment of disease activity and assessment of skin disease and C-reactive protein (CRP) or serum amyloid A (SAA) values <10 mg/L1,2
  • A disease flare was defined as a CRP and/or SAA values >30 mg/L and either a score of mild or worse for disease activity or a score of minimal or worse for disease activity and skin disease1,2
