ILARIS is indicated for the treatment of the following autoinflammatory periodic fever syndromes in adults, adolescents and children aged 2 years and older¹:

• Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS), including:
  • Muckle-Wells syndrome (MWS)
  • Neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID)/chronic infantile neurological, cutaneous, articular syndrome (CINCA)
  • Severe forms of familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome (FCAS)/familial cold urticaria (FCU) presenting with signs and symptoms beyond cold-induced urticarial skin rash.
• Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS).
• Hyperimmunoglobulin D syndrome (HIDS)/mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD).
• Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). ILARIS should be given in combination with colchicine, if appropriate.

ILARIS is the first and only selective IL-1β inhibitor for the treatment of FMF, HIDS/MKD, TRAPS and CAPS in adults, adolescents and children aged ≥2 years¹

ILARIS is a fully human monoclonal antibody that neutralises IL-1β to reduce inflammation.¹
