Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with a diagnosis of oligoarticular, polyarticular, psoriatic or enthesitis-related JIA as determined by ILAR criteria.

  • Onset of JIA must have occurred prior to the patient's 16th birthday.
  • Patients must weigh at least 20 kg.
  • Patients must be on sulfasalazine 500 mg delayed release tablets and the total daily dose must be within the specified range of 30-60 mg/kg/day with a maximum daily dose of 3 g/day

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient currently with systemic features of systemic JIA.
  • Hypersensitivity to sulfasalazine , its metabolites, sulfonamides or salicylates.
  • History of sensitivity to heparin or heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.
  • Inability to swallow whole (uncrushed) sulfasalazine 500 mg delayed release tablets as required by protocol
