Objective
Juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE), and juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) are rare conditions associated with substantial morbidity/monetary costs, and with disease- and age-related characteristics, that differentiate them from the analogous adult counterpart.
Their treatment is still unsatisfactory and drug efficacy evaluation is hampered by the absence of reliable and standardised measures of disease outcome. Consequently, drug safety and efficacy data tends to be from small, uncontrolled, non-comparable case series.
Our goals are:
1) to identify a core set of outcome variables for JSLE and JDM, and
2) to use the core sets to develop a single definition of improvement for JSLE and JDM, to determine whether individual patients respond adequately to therapy.
These goals will be the second effort of a 22 countries European research network called "Paediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organisation - PRINTO" created with a grant under the 4 Framework Programme.
It is our basic premise that without a wide European involvement these studies will never be conducted.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
