Duration of therapy. A number of 100 PREVENT-JIA patients reached the first intervention time point I1 and were compared with 100 matched patients from the BiKeR registry. The time from I1 to stop of therapy was significantly reduced in the PREVENT-JIA group compared with the matched BiKeR control group (p<0.0001). In the PREVENT-JIA group, the majority of patients (82%) already stopped therapy at entry into the intervention phase, whereas in the majority of BiKeR patients (60%) drug treatment was continued for at least one further year.
