What happens when MTX-IR pts who don't respond to Adalimumab or Upadacitinib in Select compare RCT switch to other treatment? More switched out of adalimumab. Either group on average did well maybe switch to Upa a bit better but post hoc analysis. OP0029 #EULAR2019 @RheumNow https://t.co/sIG0kPPfNB

Ustekinumab in SLE, SLEDAI >=6 bilag 1A or 2B, ph2 results SRI-4 at w24 published. Sustained responses acc to SRI4, PGA, joint and CLASI to w48. Clasi even had higher response at w48. Those which switched to open label showed incremental improvement. Nice. #eular2019 @RheumNow
