Canakinumab is a human monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), used in the treatment of autoinflammatory diseases such as cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS), systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA), and Still's disease. It is an approved immunosuppressive agent, primarily administered to reduce inflammation.
Population pharmacokinetics in adult and pediatric patients with autoinflammatory conditions. Data from observed clinical trials including healthy volunteers and patients with CAPS.
