Dr. Carol Langford on GPA treatment
Duration of remission maintenance therapy?
- at least 2 years, after 2 years, maintenance appropriate in many cases
- consider RTX, and other cDMARDs (MTX, MMF, AZA)

Conaghan: "Most promising study in OA" at #RNL2023
NGF inhibitor to OA had benefit, but very poorly tolerated - could this be a future tolerated?
Can there be sustained response.
Conaghan: "In meantime, keep everybody strong" as primary treatment! 💪

Conaghan shares unpublished data from PROMOTE study at #RNL2023
Early data shows MTX benefits pain in patients w/ OA, particularly more metabolically active.
Looking forward to more data on this - though many many many DMARD trials thus far have been disappointing in OA

Dr Philip Conaghan at #RNL2023
X-rays are misleading in OA
OA is a CLINICAL disease
Radiographs do not help in diagnosis or monitoring
