Pfizer Inc. (PFE) Tuesday said a phase 3 investigational study of Xeljanz in children and adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis met its primary endpoint.

The New York drug maker said the occurrence of disease flare in patients with polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis treated with Xeljanz was significantly lower than patients treated with placebo at week 44.

Pfizer said it plans to file for U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of Xeljanz in juvenile idiopathic arthritis in 2020.
