• Research summary

  The short-term safety of abatacept when used in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) has been previously demonstrated; however, the long-term safety of abatacept has not been well studied. Thus, as part of regulatory requirements, an international registry with long-term follow-up will be established to characterize and evaluate the safety of abatacept.
