Title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo Controlled Study of Canakinumab in Patients With Hereditary Periodic Fevers (TRAPS, HIDS, or crFMF), With Subsequent Randomized Withdrawal/Dosing Frequency Reduction and Open-label Long-term Treatment Epochs
Brief Summary: This study is to determine whether canakinumab is able to induce and maintain a clinically meaningful reduction of disease activity in participants with Hereditary Periodic Fevers (HPF) compared to placebo.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

A subject must fulfil the following criteria in order to be included in the study:

1. FMF diagnosed as per the Tel-Hashomer criteria -(Criteria for the diagnosis of familial Mediterranean fever. Arthritis Rheum.1998 Aug; 41(8):1516-7-Livneh A, Langevitz P, Zemer D, Zaks N, Kees S, Lidar T, Migdal A, Padeh S, Pras M).
2. 18-65 years of age
3. Verified as mutations in both alleles of the MEFV gene, thus including homozygous and compound heterozygous patients
4. Patient compliant with maximum tolerable dose of colchicine (up to 3 mg/day)
5. At least one FMF attack per month in chest, abdomen or joints (definition of attack see above)
6. Adequate contraception for sexually active male and female patients

Exclusion Criteria:

The presence of any of the following will exclude a subject from inclusion in the study:

1. Patient pregnant at enrolment visit
2. Prior or existing malignancy
3. Active infection
4. Manifest renal failure with Creatinine clearance \<30mL/min as determined by the equation Creatinine clearance (ml/min) = (140-age) x Wight (Kg) /72 x serum creatinine (mg/dcl) For women one should multiply the results by 0.8
5. Live vaccinations last three months before enrolment
6. Sociopsychological state threatening compliance with the treatment protocol
7. Alcohol or substance abuse
8. Concomitant medication with biological or anti-rheumatic disease-modifying drugs or systemic steroids
9. Any prior use of IL-1 inhibitory drugs
10. Associated disease that could interfere with clinical assessment:

    1. Rheumatic disorder
    2. Systemic disease, e.g. autoimmune or other autoinflammatory disorder, diabetes, hypertension, vasculitis, Behçet's disease
    3. Gastrointestinal disorder, e.g. Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome
    4. Cardiovascular disorder, e.g. post myocardial infarction, angina
    5. Pulmonary disorder, e.g. COPD, pulmonary hypertension
    6. Any other condition which in the opinion of the investigator makes the subject unsuitable for inclusion
11. Enrolment in another concurrent clinical study, or intake of an investigational drug, within three months prior to inclusion in this study
12. Failure or refusal to cooperate with given instructions

    -

History of organ transplantation b. Elevated liver enzymes ≥3x ULN d. Increase in total bilirubin e. Serious hepatic disorder (Child-Pugh scores B or C) f. Chronic Kidney Disease g.
