About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Cryopyrin Associated Periodic Syndrome focused on measuring Canakinumab, Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes, Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome (FCAS), Familial Cold Urticaria (FCU), Muckle-Wells Syndrome (MWS), Neonatal-Onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease (NOMID), Chronic Infantile Neurological, Cutaneous, Articular Syndrome (CINCA), Treatment of patients diagnosed with CAPS (Cryopyrin associated periodic syndrome)

Eligibility Criteria

4 Years - undefined (Child, Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male and female patients at least 4 years of age at the time of the screening visit
  2. Patient's informed consent for > or = 18 years of age before any assessment is performed
  3. Parent or legal guardian's written informed consent and child's assent, if appropriate, are required before any assessment is performed for patients < 18 years of age.
  4. Patients with a diagnosis of CAPS: FCAS/FCU, MWS, or NOMID/CINCA
  5. Body weight > or = 15 kg
  6. Able to communicate with the investigator and comply with the requirements of the study (for children the parent can assist when necessary)

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient is pregnant or breastfeeding. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test at baseline
  2. Patient of childbearing potential (man or woman) and unwilling to use double barrier method of contraception. It is required that double barrier method of contraception be used (i.e. condom with spermicide or diaphragm with spermicide) by patients of childbearing potential (man or woman) regardless of whether a hormonal agent is also used as a method of contraception.
  3. Participation in any clinical investigation within 4 weeks prior to dosing
  4. Live vaccinations within 3 months prior to the start of the trial, during the trial and up to 3 months following the last dose.
  5. History of significant medical conditions, which in the Investigator's opinion would exclude the patient from participating in this trial (this can be discussed with Novartis on a case by case basis in case of uncertainty).
  6. History of drug or alcohol abuse within 12 months prior to dosing
  7. History of hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or to drugs of similar chemical classes
