Sarilumab in PMR
SAPHYR Phase 3 RCT
Underpowered (<50% target recruitment)
-% remission sustained from wk12 to wk 52
28% vs 10% PBO
-Risk of flare reduced HR 0.56
-Improvement of several PROs
No new safety signal

SAPHYR phase 3 RDBPCT study: #sarilumab vs PCB for relapsing #PMR on pred 7.5+ mg/d. Study met endpoints (whether of or not CRP was included). Time to first flare was longer w/SARI, less steroid use, and also better PROs. AE: #EULAR2022 LB0006 @rheumnow 1/2 https://t.co/lIspLKlveb

Redondo-Rodriguez et al. Abatacept in RA-ILD. Prospective study 38 patients. 73.6% improved/stablised with abatacept at median 17 month follow-up @RheumNow #EULAR2022 POS0654 https://t.co/D2du0hAXIy

#POS1207 #EULAR2022 In N=98 RA patients with poor antibody response to rituximab after two doses, 19% responded after 3rd dose. Associated with longer Time of vaccine from last RTX & interestingly ultra dose 200mg used in the Netherlands @RheumNow https://t.co/TTXXtOU6vp

BRIDGE-PMR (rituximab in PMR) routine care extension to 52w
(in #PMRGCAJC one big qu asked was ?sustained benefit)
sustained benefit (RR 2.5 GC-free remission)
steroid-sparing (PNL 1.6g v 2.3g)
& ritux ?cheap enough now
but COVID calculus difficult

CorEvitas PsA Registry (1000+ pts)
Analysis of biologics prescription according to disease domains
No real surprise to see that IL-17i were prescribed more frequently in pts w/ PsO BSA>10% at BL
Overall first line TNFi 40% > IL-17i 14%

Castrejon et al. BIOBADASER registry study. Cancer risk with various bDMARDs. Overall I don't think there is a difference here. Lowest in IL17i and highest in abatacept but older and comorbidity confounders @RheumNow #EULAR2022 #POS1439 https://t.co/gfv78ouOTJ

den Broeder et al. Follow-up to REDO study. Ultra-low dose RTX non-inferior for DAS28CRP. 1000mg 2.2 (2.0-2.4), 500mg 2.2 (2.1-2.4), 200mg 2.3 (2.2-2.5) (all given 6-monthly). Small effect by received dose though (0.15 per 1000mg) @RheumNow #EULAR2022 POS0652 https://t.co/hfSw9ndQpk

Campaniello et al. Ultra-low dose RTX (500/1000mg once a year) vs low dose RTX (500/1000mg 6-monthly) for maintenance in AAV. Comparable relapse free survival 22.7% vs 21.2%, lower severe infection 10.5% vs 26.8% @RheumNow #EULAR2022 POS0837 https://t.co/uBgEmhLUzv

Frisell et al. Safety b/tsDMARDs from 10 years ARTIS. There is a mass of interesting data here, look at that figure! Higher rates of discontinuation due to AEs for tofa, bari, sari, rituximab. May be explained by chanelling and residual confounding @RheumNow #EULAR2022 POS0637 https://t.co/KrspU6c9Cs

A new finding - antimalarials improve safety w bDMARDs & #JAKi and reduce CV events and improve drug survival #Bestinclass. POS0242 @RheumNow @eular_org #EULAR2022 Neat. Safe, inexpensive and monitor eyes 👀 https://t.co/Ea4VA9vqwe

BTKi are they effective in #rheumatology? Seem to work in preclinical models of inflammation but so far clinical results seem disappointing #POS0397 @RheumNow @eular_org #EULAR2022 https://t.co/2NjcMnU1d6

Swedish study by Lindstrom U et al of over 3000 PsA patients matched with RA comparators showed that the length of time on MTX (PsA 4.5 and RA 4.4 years) before adding or switching to b/tsDMARD was identical in PsA (34%) and matched RA controls (33%) #EULAR2022 @RheumNow POS0073 https://t.co/Dwrz8RVMnh

Dr Singh @NamrataRheum et al. VA study of lymphoma risk with b/tsDMARDs. No increased risk found. HR adjusted time-fixed and time-varying covariates vs csDMARD 1.04 (0.80-1.35) @RheumNow #EULAR2022 POS1434 https://t.co/B6ENz805yl

Congenital malformations after intra-uterine exposure to non-TNFi when compared to certolizumab showed vedolizumab and belimumab were associated with higher CMs. Vedolizumab showed specific CM pattern (corpus collosum agenesis).

No significant difference in malignancy risk in patients with rheumatic disease and a prior history of malignancy, who started bDMARDs or tsDMARDs. Interestingly IL-17i had 0 malignancy events and CD-20i were next lowest.
