Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)*
HUMIRA is indicated for, in combination with methotrexate (MTX), reducing the signs and symptoms of moderately to severely active polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) in patients, 2 years of age and older who have had an inadequate response to one or more disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). HUMIRA can be used as monotherapy in case of intolerance to MTX or when continued treatment with MTX is not appropriate. HUMIRA has not been studied in pediatric patients with polyarticular JIA aged less than 2 years.
Despite HUMIRA's loss of exclusivity, we remain committed to HUMIRA, to you and to your patients with JIA.*
HUMIRA may remain available for your new patients with JIA* and private insurance.
