In recent years, the range of medicines used in the therapy of JIA has significantly expanded. With the ineffectiveness of methotrexate, the appointment of genetically engineered biological drugs (GIBP) is shown, among which tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) inhibitors are most often used, one of which is golimumab. Conclusion. To date, for the treatment of juvenile polyarthritis, there is golimumab in the arsenal of medicines, which is human monoclonal antibodies to TNF-α, which allows to achieve an inactive phase of the disease with the ineffectiveness of the use of other GIBP.
