Upadacitinib: revisiting safety data in RA and GCA

Mrinalini Dey, MD

For the last several years, conversations about JAK inhibitors have often started and ended with safety. The shadow cast by ORAL Surveillance has made clinicians more cautious and regulators more restrictive.

#ACR25 Abstr#LB23 Phase 1 trial in 5 refractory #RA of SBT777101, a novel autologous CAR-Treg (without the need for lymphodepletion) showed promising efficacy and safety signal. No DLT, CRS or ICANS. Looking forward to larger data and in other RMDs @RheumNow https://t.co/YyGMSHjA3z

Turns out you can directly degrade NETs. Holy smokes NETs critical in pathology of SLE & other dx They’ve found you can target it Enzymatic degrader fused to albumin Proof-of-concept: degraded a patient’s SLE manifestations in hours Definitely one to watch #ACR25 LB22 @RheumNow https://t.co/HVEt8wFYmI

Effectiveness of b/tsDMARDs RA pts kidney dysfunction CorEvitas RA registry 9,569 pts Pts low eGFR = older more comorbidities less NSAIDs Reduced eGFR = 30% less likely to achieve remission Persists indeed of GC intake Is it a PK/PD related issue or somehow the reflection of https://t.co/KZuvPVa6eg

Regulate-RA study, first-in-human Phase 1 study data show citrullinated protein (CitP)-targeted CAR-Tregs (SBT777101) are safe and show early efficacy in refractory RA. 67% had ≥50% joint count reduction by Week 4. A novel, non-cytotoxic approach to immune modulation for https://t.co/g153w3XVEK

Not all RA meds are equal for the heart. In >10K older adults w/ RA, advanced therapies lowered MACE risk (HR 0.63) vs csDMARDs, while GCs ↑ risk (HR 1.54) and undertreatment ↑ it 13-fold. Control inflammation, protect the heart. @RheumNow #ACR25 Abstract #2642

#ACR25 Abstr#LB20 At EULAR, data for Phase 3 RCT of Deucravacitinib, Tyk2-i in active #PsA showed ACR20 was met at WK16. Here, data showed sustained response through WK 52 across core domains inc. those who switched PBO->DEU. No major safety assoc. with JAK-i.A few acne @RheumNow https://t.co/tmzQMOtjev

In POETYK PsA-1, deucravacitinib showed sustained efficacy through Week 52 in PsA, improving joint, skin, PROs, and radiographic progression. Safety remained favorable with no new signals. TYK2 inhibition continues to show promise. Abstract#LB20 @RheumNow #ACR25 https://t.co/sGkk062HqJ

Questions #ACR25 LB20 to Paul Emery on rosnilimab: Fleischmann: could be induction therapy? (Not intent, but could be) Choy: Depth of changes with translational data Tanaka: Safety given peresolimab ph2b here (diff epitope, membrane proximity, targeted depletion PD-1hi) @RheumNow

Mease et al. 52 week results deucravacitinib in PsA. Approx ACR20 60%, ACR50 40%, ACR70 25%. Sustained radiographic benefit. No new safety signals @RheumNow #ACR25 Abstr#LB20 https://t.co/vKqjb08mI8

PD-1 agonist as an induction therapy in refractory RA?? Rosnilimab ph2b: - still responding 3mo after Rx stopped - no difference between type of prior b/tsDMARD failure - safety here looks good *so far* A lot of cautious excitement in the room for this #ACR25 LB19 @RheumNow https://t.co/CmfPlP4g0N

A new approach in RA: Rosnilimab targets & depletes PD-1–high pathogenic T cells, acting upstream of cytokine pathways. In Ph2b, all doses improved DAS28-CRP & ACR responses vs placebo, with durable efficacy & good safety. @RheumNow #ACR25 Abstract#LB19 https://t.co/cIxi7NEu6C

#ACR25 Abstr#LB19 New T-cell therapy on the block! In Phase 2b RCT of #RA (~50% b/tsDMARD-IR), Rosnilimab, PD-1 agonist met its endpoint (DAS28-CRP) at WK12. Effective despite type of previous therapy. No safety concern/malignancy/death. To proceed to Phase 3 @RheumNow #ACRBest https://t.co/MecTYMpH0o
