Summary

This is a phase III study designed to provide efficacy and safety data for canakinumab administered for at least 48 weeks as subcutaneous (s.c.) injection every 4 weeks (q4wk) in Japanese patients with Adult Onset Still's Disease (AOSD). Interim analysis (IA) data at Week 28 and 48 from this study supports a registration submission of canakinumab in the indication of Adult still's disease (ASD) in Japan.
