That is: for abatacept, people 6 years and older whose disease has responded inadequately to other disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) including at least 1 tumour necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor for adalimumab, people 2 years and older whose disease has responded inadequately to 1 or more DMARD for etanercept, people 2 years and older whose disease has responded inadequately to, or who are intolerant of, methotrexate for tocilizumab, people 2 years and older whose disease has responded inadequately to previous therapy with methotrexate. Abatacept and tocilizumab are recommended only if the companies provide them with the discounts agreed in the patient access schemes for these technologies. 1.2 Adalimumab and etanercept are recommended, within their marketing authorisations, as options for treating enthesitis-related JIA, that is, for people 6 years and older (adalimumab) and 12 years and older (etanercept) whose disease has responded inadequately to, or who are intolerant of, conventional therapy. 1.3 Etanercept is recommended, within its marketing authorisation, as an option for treating psoriatic JIA, that is, in people aged 12 years and over whose disease has responded inadequately to, or who are intolerant of, methotrexate. © NICE 2019.

JIA is classified yb the number of joints affected. Oligoarticular JIA, also known as oligoarthritis, is diagnosed when 4 or fewer joints are affected over the first 6 months after diagnosis. Polyarticular-onset JIA, also known as polyarthritis, is diagnosed when 5 or more joints are affected over the first 6 months after diagnosis. After 6 months from diagnosis, if 5 or more joints become affected it is then referred to as polyarticular-course JIA. This includes people who are diagnosed with oligoarticular JIA but
