In a 5-year EHR-based cohort, PsO patients initiating IL-17i had significantly lower incidence of PsA/IA vs IL-23i, IL-12/23i, or TNFi. IL-17i reduced time with PsA/IA by 45% vs IL-23i, 61% vs IL-12/23i, and 74% vs TNFi. Further research need investigate if IL-17i may delay https://t.co/0PTbXZpLbu

Abstract 2697: Compared to MMF, tacrolimus showed
- similar SRR by week 96 (58.5% vs. 69.2%, OR 0.62; 95% CI 0.29-1.29)
- similar time to renal AE/deaths (HR 0.70; 95% CI 0.37-1.35)
- serious AEs less frequent (12.3% vs. 30.8%)

In PsA patients, GLP-1 RA therapy led to significant weight loss and improvements in CRP, pain, lipids, and blood pressure. PsA outcomes improved proportionally with weight loss. Regression analyses revealed that each 1% reduction in body weight was associated with significant https://t.co/Pph1PjfOve

#2681 Tackling the “lipid paradox” in RA: inflammation-adjusted TC & LDL (using hsCRP correction) improved ASCVD risk prediction and flagged more high-risk patients than standard lipids. A smarter way to guide statin use in RA. @RheumNow #ACR25

What exercise best for steroid-induced osteoporosis? Does it have to be weight bearing?
Turns out anything helps - get out there and don’t let perfect be the enemy of good!

Does diet matter in PsA?
Randomized study comparing advice, DASH low calorie, Mediterranean diet
Seems that weight loss corresponds better with benefit than diet. BMI reduction remains focus in PsA

The DIPSA study: can diet improve PsA?
Finally a RCT, and the general message is Loose weight, regardless of the diet!
3 arms:
-Mediterranean diet 31pts
-Low-calorie Dietary Approaches (DASH-LC) 30pts
-Standard of care 31pts
Primary outcome change in DAPSA wk 12

Sjögren’s: two Phase 3 RCTs (NEPTUNUS-1 [QM], -2 [Q3M]) test Ianalumab (BAFF/BAFF-R) vs placebo.
ΔESSDAI at 48wk: Ianalumab QM > PBO, statistically significant
But ΔESSDAI ≈ 0.5–1 pt (vs PBO) below MCII (≥ 3)
Promising biology, modest clinical gain

Sjogren’s disease: is it maybe true you need to still have some salivary function left to get benefit from therapy?
Ianalumab (BAFF inh) ph3 NEPTUNUS-1/2
Very decent on primary (ESSDAI) & we will see this
Salivary flow only improved when some at baseline

Effectiveness of b/tsDMARDs RA pts kidney dysfunction

Pts low eGFR = older more comorbidities less NSAIDs
Reduced eGFR = 30% less likely to achieve remission

Lots of promising biomarkers, we need validation and hopefully translation to clinical practice.
