JAKi use did not increase CV risk compared to TNF, no difference between Bari and Tofa, non significant increased IRR in patients >65 years, Merel Opdam, Abst#OP0221 #EULAR2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/Pu5X8RHJOY

Malignancy in real world datasets:
do we see differences between DMARDs - particularly JAKi, with ORAL Surveillance in mind?
RABBIT German data (limited risk window):
Point estimates slightly up vs TNFi, esp in high CV risk pts
but magnitude not big

Just a reminder: nr-axSpA isn’t destined to become r-axSpA/AS. Life is more complicated than that.
Between the natural history and TNFi, very small conversion rate post-10y. Of course, whatever the x-rays, it can still disable though

CareRA trial:
3 months addition of LEF vs. ETA in pts resistant to COBRA-Slim regimen (MTX 15 mg/w + step-down prednisone):
After 2 years, no difference in dis control but those who received ETA early were treated more frequently w/ csDMARD monotherapy #EULAR23 @RheumNow OP0129 https://t.co/YwSoZWi375

The risk of demyelination with TNFi is low but real. Slight increase of risk was found in male RA patients. The small number of events is reassuring. Careful consideration is recommended in individuals at highest risk of demyelinating diseases Abst#OP0135 #EULAR2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/YT6ZrJTjU0

JAKi have superior effectiveness at 6 months compared to TNFi and the efficacy was similar in those with and and without safety risk (increased age, CV risk, smoker) by Hannah Bower, Abst#0133 #EULAR2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/Pt6EoN6323

Get Un ‘DRESSED’? Use of #etanercept or #adalimumab for #rheumatoidarthritis. #RCT of dose optimization-observational f/u over 10 yrs with attempts to lower and even d/c Rx in #RA You CAN lower dose in many Pts & even d/c Rx and recapture. X-rays OK @RheumNow #EULAR2023 #OP0131 https://t.co/PGK5SQJ1WU

How much MTX do we need with adalimumab in RA? Can blood concentrations help?
MTX RBC polygluts:
- don’t seem to match to efficacy
- do seem match to safety, a bit
(no ADAb data here)
*One day* we’ll get better at what MTX dose is needed with TNFi #EULAR2023 OP0128 @RheumNow https://t.co/OGM3hxr4fG

An update on JAK inhibitors and cardiovascular risks
In the last 2 years, there has been more caution and vigilance with the use of JAK inhibitors in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis due to the risk of CV events, including MACE and VTE. The ORAL surveillance study, a post-approval safety study conducted in RA patients aged ≥50 years with ≥1 CV risk factor, has resulted in increased caution and greater emphasis on assessment of MACE and VTE risks in patients starting JAK inhibitors.

New benefit/risk outlook 👀 on ORAL surveillance
2 subgrps:
🟢RA w/ no previous Hx of atherosclerotic CV dis = TOFA at least as good as TNFi
AND risk of MACE is comparable 🛑RA w/ HxASCVD = efficacy TOFA = TNFi AND > risk of MACE
