Conclusion:This study demonstrated the longterm therapeutic effect of canakinumab in pediatric pts with CR‐FMF. AEs were manageable. Occasional increases in dose were needed while the dosing interval could be lengthened in some patients. A larger study is needed to better evaluate the benefit and optimal dosing of canakinumab for CR‐FMF.
