Until the end of the last century there were no drugs approved for the treatment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). This situation was revolutionized in the past 20 years thanks to 3 factors: the introduction in the USA and in Europe of paediatric legislations(1, 2), the availability of biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (b-DMARDs), and the existence of not-for-profit organizations with the mission to foster, facilitate and co-ordinate the development, conduct, analysis, and reporting of multi-centres studies in children with paediatric rheumatic diseases.
