Abstract
Introduction
Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a systemic auto-inflammatory disorder characterized by a cytokine storm. Four major cytokines can be specifically targeted in severe, refractory or corticosteroid-dependent forms: interleukin 1 (IL-1), interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 18 (IL-18), and Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa). According to the French national protocol for adult-onset Still's disease, anti-IL-6 agents are the second-line of treatment after corticosteroids. We report here on the efficacy and safety of siltuximab prescribed off-label in patients with multi-refractory forms.
Observations/results
These 4 patients, aged 24 to 74 years old, had polycyclic and inflammatory AOSD. The introduction of siltuximab was proposed after failure or poor tolerance of several lines of treatment. A partial or complete clinico-biological response was observed in all 4 patients.
Conclusion
Siltuximab is a possible salvage treatment for multi-refractory AOSD.
