Current Challenge: Macrophage Activation Syndrome

Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is a severe, potentially life-threatening condition involving a massive inflammatory response that overwhelms the whole body. 

Two pooled open-label studies with a new investigational drug aimed to reduce the dose of the current harmful standard therapy (GC).

The challenge is to visualise:

  • How effective was the new investigational drug in reducing GC doses over 8 weeks?
  • What proportion of subjects achieved GC doses between certain thresholds, and how did this change over time?
  • How much variability was there in GC doses, e.g. characterise shifts between threshold levels at the individual subject level?
