Novel B cell depleters! Bispecific T cell engagers (BiTEs) being studied for #SLE & #RA as a way to get CAR-T cell like responses but more accessible w/less risk for CK release syndrome. #EULAR24

I chaired great debate at #EULAR2025 - JAK Inhibitor Special Warnings: can observational data debunk an RCT? Drs Janet Pope(NO) vs David Liew(YES). Voting suggests most are concerned about JAK warnings, but Liew won by converting a minority his way @janetbirdope @Drdavidliew https://t.co/bV1JdO7c4e

Nordic country analysis of mortality in RA (n 1145), RA-ILD (239), population ILD (378) & nl controls (1890) shows most mortality in pop ILD (HR 8.3), but less in RA-ILD (HR 3.6). Why is death less in latter; could it be RA therapies? Abstr #POS0022 # EULAR2025 https://t.co/wFZq49rIiW

EULAR 2024 kicked off with a fantastic debate between Janet Pope and David Liew - ‘JAK inhibitor special warnings: Can observational data debunk an RCT?’
A thought-provoking discussion summarising all aspects of the ongoing conversation on JAKi use in high-risk patients! https://t.co/MzW3jSSCfr

More data from Jak-pot, the real-world multinational RA study, this time looking at infection in 14 national registries
JAKi (vs TNFi) had no signal for general/serious infection (excluding HZ)
Somewhat reassuring post-ORAL Surveillance infection data

Increase in mSASSS over time was greater with increasing comorbidity burden. Increasing comorbidity burden is independently associated with greater radiographic progression #EULAR2024 OP0103 @RheumNow https://t.co/j7UblASUvC

SpA patients with IBD, compared to those without IBD, were less frequently male and more frequently HLA-B27 negative, had higher rates of uveitis and lower rates of psoriasis, exhibited more structural damage on SI joints in the METEOR cohort #EULAR2024 OP0085 @RheumNow https://t.co/c2KdzIumc4

Swap or Cycle? Study OP0081 show after failure to a first TNFi in patients with axSpA, the drug retention rate was higher in the cycle strategy compared to the swap (IL-17i) strategy. No difference in the disease activity between cycle and swap strategy #EULAR2024 @RheumNow https://t.co/vr5DvNOb21

Treatment intensification is associated with a higher ASDAS cut-off value than the recommended one (≥2.1). Rheumatologists may feel this is too stringent and use a higher ASDAS value for treatment intensification #EULAR2024 Abstract 0060 @RheumNow https://t.co/54vZUz7IEz

Nice idea from Erlangen: B cell then T cell suppression for ACPA+ RA. A tolergenic reset of sorts. Sounds interesting…
small study, but sadly no difference over ritux only. Does seem broadly safe though - maybe will be a strategy for another disease!
