Is a Biomarker for Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes on the Horizon?
With a better understanding of pathophysiology, improved management guidelines, available medications, and a multidisciplinary approach, pregnancy for lupus patients has become more feasible. Despite these improvements, some patients still experience poor outcomes, highlighting the need for biomarkers that can predict these risks. An abstract presented at #EULAR2024 (POS1393) explored this possibility.

#EULAR2024 POS0024 Lymphopenia, anemia, & low Plt are assoc with disease activity & damage accrual in #lupus. Post-hoc analysis of RCTs + LTE showed Anifrolumab normalised these Haem parameters vs PBO. May improve fatigue-associated with anaemia @RheumNow https://t.co/GF8aKU0Z5x

SLE Preview: abolishing refractory with CAR-T and better B-cell therapies
Despite advancements, some SLE patients remain refractory to belimumab and off-label rituximab, the main B cell-targeted therapies in the last 15 years.

#EULAR2024 OP0193 Watch out, blinatumomab will BiTE! Bi-specific T-cell engagers (BiTEs), kill Bcells by engaging Tcells. In 6 refractory #RA patients (failed 3 x ts/bDMARDs), deep blood & tissue depletion were met, good response. Brief raised temp but no cytokine storm @RheumNow https://t.co/OmxSbTXfZq

Fascinating - @ndb_org installed an app to measure smartphone usage, and texting less and moving less were associated with more flares.
The pseudo-wearable in our pockets??

Is muscle US useful in RA?
100+ pts 1yr followup
BL muscle thickness correlated w/ grip strength improvement
HAQ improv correlated w/ pennation angle vastus lateralis
No diff between muscle morphology & DAS
I'd say it's still easier to US joints!

RA patients on abatacept have an appalling immunogenic response to Shingrix. Humoral fades away in the first year, and an absence of cellular responses.
Alarming and need strategies to combat this #EULAR2024 POS0620 Winthrop/@RADoctor @RheumNow https://t.co/8gY9ocLBDp

If your GCA flares, do you get the same features as you did at diagnosis?
20% of the time it can be new, so keep on doing the checklist!
(also, visual flares uncommon - the power of pred)

#EULAR2024 POS0390 What impact of regulatory warning on JAK-i on access to therapy? Data from UK BSSR-BR reported 4 in 5 #RA patients would have been considered ‘high-risk’. Of these, 28% had failed ≥3 biologics; so no suitable alternatives. Enormously impacted @RheumNow https://t.co/XeS9qHXSpH

Fantastic long COVID debate: close friends Xavier Mariette & @LCalabreseDO head-to-head, debating whether long COVID is a specific disease or part of fibromyalgia.
Xavier argues it looks like any post-viral syndrome, & the immunological signal isn’t there. #EULAR2024 @RheumNow https://t.co/ajKjBSRo2n

How good are we at picking up depressing in RA patients?
In this Polish registry:
- 1.8% had a depression diagnosis
- 21% had low mood on HAQ
& depression has real correlates with disease activity.
Plenty to think about with truly holistic RA care!
