Abstract

Purpose of review
This review summarises the major novel treatment options for children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) since the pandemic, reflecting not only on advancements in therapeutics but also approach to management and research.

Recent findings
Several recent international paediatric trials have been important in advancing understanding of JIA and furthering available treatment options. Biologic and small molecule agents were demonstrated to be effective and safe in recalcitrant or severe JIA (including extra-articular complications), mirroring the adult equivalent diseases.

Summary
Although joint and overall health have vastly improved for young people with JIA, ongoing international collaboration, critical review of treatment strategies and high quality research are essential to optimize outcomes.
