Are biosimilar multi-switches an issue?
real world data: DANBIO 🇩🇰
biosimilar to biosimilar switch
having already had a switch prior ('previous ADAo') did not increase cessation
The risk of biosimilar switching on immunogenicity is greatly overstated

Late-onset asthma but earlier EGPA diagnosis?
Abstract 1604 used IQVIA data to develop a machine learning model for better EGPA dx. Key predictors included eosinophilia, asthma, chronic sinusitis, multiple CXRs, skin biopsies, and GC prescriptions. @RheumNow #ACR24

#1477 🔬Zasocitinib (TYK-2i) shows promise in phase IIb RCT
➡️n=290, randomised to PBO, 5/15/30mg gps
💥30mg group
📉 Rapid skin improvement @ Wk 2
➡️Wk 12 PASI:~2X placebo (-2.5;p=0.004)
🛟Well tolerated
⬆️MDA (28 v. 12.5% p<0.05) promise for other PsA domains

Exciting early data for new highly selective TYK2i zasocitinib
Improved PASI skin scores (though not as much as IL23i...)
Funky skin-related adverse events at higher doses, not sure what to make of that?

T2T approaches in early PsA:
-STAMP trial (open label, multicenter RCT) eval early SEC (300mg+ MTX15+ 80mg steroid injection) vs SoC (MTX25+80mg steroid injection)
-At week 12, 38% pts on SEC vs
17% on SoC achieved ACR50. Also did better on MDA & PASI.
-No significant… https://t.co/MflI3d0FqV https://t.co/RjnzeaTyQK

Promising clinical data in SpA - what about imaging findings?
Dramatic reductions in MRI activity at SI joints seen in BKZ pt, esp when compared to trajectory of PBO pt before cross-over

In case you needed more encouragement for recombinant zoster vaccination in RA patients:
it prevents herpes zoster episodes, in the real world.
RA pts in KP system
n=1926 vaccinated matched 1:3 with non-vaccinated
- HZ reduced 60%
- PHN reduced 88%

Steroid-related organ damage presents later
- organ damage is higher in African-Americans
Dose response for prednisone and CVD risk
Each 1 mg prednisone = 3% increase risk in organ damage!
