Objective: This study aimed to review the efficacy and safety profile of disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) in patients with relapsing pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis (POMS).
Methods: A systematic review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Published randomized controlled trials (RCTs), nonrandomized studies with a control group, large single-arm studies, and ongoing (unpublished) studies investigating the use of approved and unapproved DMTs in POMS were included.
Background: Anakinra is an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra). Since IL-1 has been shown to play a key role in the etiology of different autoinflammatory diseases, blocking its pathway has become an important therapeutic target, even in neonates.
Aims: We aimed to report our experience in using anakinra to treat specific neonatal inflammatory conditions.

Background: Infliximab and adalimumab are the only biologics thus far approved for paediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), so other biologics, such as vedolizumab, are prescribed off-label. Despite its frequent use, prospective data for vedolizumab treatment in children are available only for short-term induction outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of maintenance therapy with vedolizumab in paediatric patients with IBD.
