Indications:
ADULTS
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Hulio is indicated for reducing signs and symptoms and inhibiting the progression of structural damage and improving physical function in adult patients with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response to one or more DMARDs. Hulio can be used alone or in combination with methotrexate or other DMARDs. Hulio, in combination with MTX, can also be used in the treatment of patients with recently diagnosed moderate to severely active rheumatoid arthritis who have not received methotrexate.
Psoriatic Arthritis
Hulio is indicated for reducing signs and symptoms of active arthritis in adult patients with moderate to severe psoriatic arthritis when the response to previous DMARD therapy has been inadequate. Hulio has been shown to reduce the rate of progression of peripheral joint damage as measured by X-ray in patients with polyarticular symmetrical subtypes of the disease and to improve physical function. Hulio can be used alone or in combination with DMARDs.
Ankylosing Spondylitis
Hulio is indicated for reducing signs and symptoms in adult patients with active ankylosing spondylitis who have had an inadequate response to conventional therapy.
Crohn’s Disease
Hulio is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe active Crohn’s disease in adults to reduce the signs and symptoms of the disease and to induce and maintain clinical remission in patients who have had an inadequate response to conventional therapies, or who have lost response to or are intolerant of infliximab. For induction treatment, Hulio should be given in combination with corticosteroids. Hulio can be given as monotherapy in case of intolerance to corticosteroids or when continued treatment with corticosteroids is inadequate.
Ulcerative Colitis
Hulio is indicated for treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis in adult patients who have had an inadequate response to conventional therapy including corticosteroids and/or 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) or azathioprine (AZA), or who are intolerant to or have medical contraindications for such therapies.
Plaque Psoriasis
Hulio is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy and when other systemic therapies are medically less appropriate.
Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Hulio is indicated for the treatment of active moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (acneinversa) in adult patients with an inadequate response to conventional systemic HS therapy.
Uveitis
Hulio is indicated for the treatment of non-infectious intermediate, posterior and panuveitis in adult patients who have had an inadequate response to corticosteroids, in patients in need of corticosteroid-sparing, or in whom corticosteroid treatment is inappropriate.
PEDIATRICS
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Polyarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Hulio in combination with methotrexate is indicated for the treatment of active polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pJIA), in patients 2 years of age and older, who have had an inadequate response to one or more disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDS). Hulio can be given as monotherapy in case of intolerance to methotrexate or when continued treatment with methotrexate is inappropriate (for the efficacy in monotherapy see CLINICAL STUDIES). Hulio has not been studied in patients aged less than 2 years.
Enthesitis-Related Arthritis
Hulio is indicated for the treatment of active enthesitis-related arthritis in patients, 6 years of age and older, who have had an inadequate response to, or who are intolerant of, conventional therapy.
Pediatric Crohn's Disease
Hulio is indicated for reducing signs and symptoms and inducing and maintaining clinical remission in pediatric patients, 6years of age and older, with moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease who have had an inadequate response to conventional therapy.
Pediatric Plaque Psoriasis
Hulio is indicated for the treatment of severe chronic plaque psoriasis in children and adolescents from 4 years of age who have had an inadequate response to or are inappropriate candidates for topical therapy and phototherapy.
Adolescent Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Hulio is indicated for the treatment of active moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (acne inversa) in adolescents from 12 years of age with an inadequate response to conventional systemic hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) therapy.
Pediatric Uveitis
Hulio is indicated for the treatment of chronic non-infectious anterior uveitis in pediatric patients 2 years of age and older who have had an inadequate response to or are intolerant to conventional therapy, or in whom conventional therapy is inappropriate.
