ACZ885 (canakinumab) is a new treatment for a group of rare, but potentially life-threatening, auto-inflammatory diseases called Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes (CAPS), which includes Muckle-Wells Syndrome. The first submissions were previously planned for 2009, but are being moved forward to the end of 2008 after data from two clinical studies showed adults and children achieved rapid and long-lasting clinical remission of these diseases. Orphan drug status has already been granted to ACZ885 in the European Union and US for treating CAPS, and also in the US and EU for Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (SJIA), the most severe form of arthritis in children. Phase III trials in SJIA are set to begin in 2009. Studies are also either underway or are planned to start in patients with gout (Phase II started in 2008), adult rheumatoid arthritis (Phase III start in 2010) and type 2 diabetes (Phase II start in 2009). novartis.com
