##  Study Description 

The study is a phase II trial designed to evaluate the clinical efficacy, safety, and tolerability of MAS825 (arumakimig) in pediatric and adult participants with Still's disease This is a multicenter, open-label, single-arm study to assess clinical efficacy, safety and tolerability of MAS825 in participants (both pediatric and adult) with Still's disease who have had inadequate response to IL-1 and/or IL-6 or other available therapies.
