#EULAR2024 POS0257 One for the future. Phase 2A RCT showed KPG-818, a Novel Cereblon Modulator (targets Aiolos & Ikaros) was well tolerated with
efficacy signal (SLEDAI-2K & CLASI-50). Effect and safety profile were numerically better in the lowest dose @RheumNow https://t.co/Bjk9zBRmVo

🚨 New 68Ga-FAPI-04-PET/CT, fibroblast activation tracer
38 PSO patients w/ arthralgia
Correlation PET/CT SUVmax, TJC & tender enthesis count
68Ga-FAPI-04 uptake = higher risk developing PsA 6mo
Shows signs of inflammation before MSUS!

Some of these drugs dont seem to work in all of knee OA. I guess its really difficult to tease out different subtypes.

Does TCZ switch off GCA histopathologically?
GCA pts still on TCZ (median 2.4y duration) had repeat temporal artery biopsy (contralat)
Despite serological remission on TCZ, a heap had active histopath findings & PET still active. Scary

Greatest chance of sustained drug-free remission (DFR) is seen in early RA pts, NEVER requiring a biologic (esp if seronegative blue line). ERA on biologics never achieve DFR (yellow). Leiden EAC clinic study of 627 ERA pts Abstr# POS0615 #EULAR2024 https://t.co/zpCG6oSE3T

Loved the talk on #VEXAS by @maferradastrong today at #EULAR2024 !
Amazing pictures to explain cellular level pathophysiology!
Look for abnormal signs that arent otherwise explained to try to get to the diagnosis. @rheumnow https://t.co/YZmAqmFHpE
