Uggh!
What would you do if your pt gets pregnant while on MTX & loses her baby, are you liable for accidental abortion? Should you advise termination if a pregnant pt’s health is deteriorating? @GreerDonley (#law professor) on theoretical risks #ACR22 @rheumnow https://t.co/L4FBWcKZnE

Aim for drug free remission in early RA? After 1 yr remission Pts randomized to stop Rx vs 1/2 dose. More flares if no Rx. For 1/2 dose if 2 yrs remission randomize to stop or stay at 1/2 dose. 2X more flares if d/c Rx. Abst2013 Arctic rewind #ACR22 @rheumnow #ACRBest Relevant ? https://t.co/nfQPExhbYj

Plenary:
Real-world observational study >1500 pts with IA, 1 year retention infliximab biosimilar CT-P13 to GP1111 switch was high. Retention was higher in originator-experienced (92vs83%) & low disease activity

Does MTX dose matter for COVID mRNA vaccine immunogenicity in RA pts?
Single-center (n=126) with one MTX dose WH post-each vaccine
Similar humoral response
Big error bars suggest other factors more important

Data from CorEvitas RA registry shows persistence for first-line monotherapy with etanercept, adalimumab and JAKis no different at 12 months. 20-25% switching at 12-months. Clearly more to secondary failure than anti-drug antibodies.

Raadsen et al. RA-specific CV risk specifically targets pre-existing atherosclerotic vessels. So if no baseline CVD, traditional risk factors are main driver rather than RA. Risk without prevalent CVD (HR 1.16 95%CI 0.88 –1.53) @RheumNow #ACR22 Abstr#1408 https://t.co/1Y6WeEFmim https://t.co/qG3RMNnbqt

FIND-RA study from Belgium attempts to quantify ILD in early RA. Previously wide ranging estimates 5-20%. They found ILD in 13%. Awaiting full data on ILD severity and progression.

DANBIO registry: 1600+ pts RA, AxSpA, PsA
Infiximab biosimilar to biosimilar switch (CT-P13 -> GP1111)
Maintenance at 1yr:
>80%
> withdrawal in original IFX naive, but higher BL DA
Do second time switchers do better because of past switch experience?

Yes. But this only accounts for 1/3 of risk to develop clinical RA.
We need a better understanding of the other 2/3 so we can propose efficient preventive interventions.

Biosimilar to biosimilar effective in treatment of RA/PsA/AxSpA.
Large study looking at infliximab biosimilar switching - resulted in high retention rates and virtually no change in disease activity.

Most important point from the Great Debate on treating pre-RA.
Are we really treating to prevent RA or are we simply delaying RA onset?
I don't think there is enough data to treat pre-clinical RA with our current arsenal of DMARDs.
What would you do?
