RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: Patients with chronic atypical neutrophilic dermatosis with lipodystrophy and elevated temperature/proteasome-associated autoinflammatory syndrome (CANDLE/PRAAS) respond to the janus kinase inhibitor 1/2 inhibition with baricitinib at exposures higher than in rheumatoid arthritis. Baricitinib dose reductions to minimise exposure triggered disease flares which we used to develop 'flare criteria'. METHODS: Of 10 patients with CANDLE/PRAAS treated with baricitinib in an open-label expanded-access programme, baricitinib doses were reduced 14 times in 9 patients between April 2014 and December 2019. Retrospective data analysis of daily diary scores and laboratory markers collected before and after the dose reductions were used to develop 'clinical' and 'subclinical' flare criteria. Disease flare rates were compared among patients with <25% and >25% dose reductions and during study visits when patients received recommended 'optimized' baricitinib doses (high-dose visits) versus lower than recommended baricitinib doses (low-dose visits) using two-sided χ2 tests. RESULTS: In the 9/10 patients with CANDLE with dose reduction, 7/14 (50%) times the dose was reduced resulted in a disease flare. All four dose reductions of >25% triggered a disease flare (p <0.05). Assessment of clinical and laboratory changes during disease flares allowed the development of disease flare criteria that were assessed during visits when patients received high or low doses of baricitinib. Disease flare criteria were reached during 43.14% of low-dose visits compared with 12.75% of high-dose visits (p <0.0001). Addition of an interferon score as an additional flare criterion increased the sensitivity to detect disease flares. CONCLUSION: We observed disease flares and rebound inflammation with baricitinib dose reductions and proposed flare criteria that can assist in monitoring disease activity and in designing clinical studies in CANDLE/PRAAS.

Systemic autoinflammatory diseases (SAIDs) are a group of rare genetic and nongenetic immune dysregulatory disorders associated with high morbidity and mortality if left untreated. Therefore, early diagnosis and initiation of targeted treatment is vital in SAID patients to control the disease activity and prevent long-term immune-mediated damage. A specific group of genetically defined SAIDs is associated with increased inflammasome-mediated production of active interleukin (IL)-1. Even though progress in immunobiology and genetics has brought forth diagnostic tools and novel treatments that have been described in the literature extensively, many challenges remain in the clinical setting. Some challenges that health care providers may face on a day-to-day basis include the requirement of a multidisciplinary approach due to the complexity of these diseases, limited evidence-based treatment options, and barriers to access available therapies. Primarily, IL-1 inhibitors anakinra, canakinumab, and rilonacept are used to control the inflammation in these patients, with the goal of achieving sustainable remission. Recently published provisional points to consider from the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) and American College of Rheumatology (ACR) provide diagnosis, management, and monitoring recommendations for four IL-1-mediated autoinflammatory diseases: cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS), tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS), mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD), and deficiency of the IL-1 receptor antagonist (DIRA). The goal of this paper is to aid health care professionals by providing a practical approach to diagnosis and management of these four IL-1 mediated SAIDs on the basis of the recent EULAR/ACR recommendations.

OBJECTIVE: Autoinflammatory type I interferonopathies, chronic atypical neutrophilic dermatosis with lipodystrophy and elevated temperature/proteasome-associated autoinflammatory syndrome (CANDLE/PRAAS), stimulator of interferon genes (STING)-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy (SAVI), and Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS) are rare and clinically complex immunodysregulatory diseases. With emerging knowledge of genetic causes and targeted treatments, a Task Force was charged with the development of "points to consider" to improve diagnosis, treatment, and long-term monitoring of patients with these rare diseases. METHODS: Members of a Task Force consisting of rheumatologists, neurologists, an immunologist, geneticists, patient advocates, and an allied health care professional formulated research questions for a systematic literature review. Then, based on literature, Delphi questionnaires, and consensus methodology, "points to consider" to guide patient management were developed. RESULTS: The Task Force devised consensus and evidence-based guidance of 4 overarching principles and 17 points to consider regarding the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term monitoring of patients with the autoinflammatory interferonopathies, CANDLE/PRAAS, SAVI, and AGS. CONCLUSION: These points to consider represent state-of-the-art knowledge to guide diagnostic evaluation, treatment, and management of patients with CANDLE/PRAAS, SAVI, and AGS and aim to standardize and improve care, quality of life, and disease outcomes.
