Abatacept improved the disease activity index. In addition, abatacept was as safe as interleukin-6 (IL -6) and IL-1 inhibitors. However, both the efficacy and safety data in this systematic review should be reviewed with caution because their quality of evidence is low or very low. Further studies are needed to confirm the efficacy and safety of abatacept for systemic JIA, especially its efficacy on joint symptoms.
