Here at Last: Treatment Options for VEXAS
We have known about the VEXAS (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic) syndrome for nearly 3 years, but there has been relatively little to say about how to treat it. To date there have been over twice as many publications about VEXAS (263 publications) as there have been patients described with respect to treatment strategies (116 patients). One of the late breaking abstracts may finally have rectified this imbalance.

I’ll keep on tweeting more @RheumNow, but it’s time for me to leave the #ACR23 conference center.
Another year of an incredible scientific program, seeing many friends (although sadly ran out of time to see many too) and a whole lot of rheumatology fun. See you in DC #ACR24! https://t.co/h31abYsipX

B cell signalling reduction to treat #RA?
Telitacicept RCT showed #efficacy in active RA w MTX -maybe blunted high responses but no active comparator, only #PBO so difficult to compare to current Rx and only from 1 country China. Past bDMARDs not reported

As per #ACR23 ABST0433, what % of RA patients on US Medicare are on a DMARD within 1y of diagnosis?
I'm not talking your choice of b/tsDMARD.
I'm talking any cs/b/tsDMARD of any sort.
Hear from @JihaRheum to skip to the answer:

Frail pts with SLE is associated with 🔸prolonged hospitalizations (28.89%), 🔸significantly higher in-pt mortality (2.88%)
🔸fewer days-to-readmission (59.8%)
vs. non-frail pts with SLE
(CLeung et al)
Screen your SLE pts for frailty too.

INSIST trial: MMF vs Tac in SS-ILD
N=25 pts
👉No significant diff between MMF & TAC in mean change in FVC at 24 weeks [2.52%, 95% CI (-10.3 to 5.18)p=0.500]
👉No SAEs noted in both grps
Larger studies w/ longer ffup needed.

Dr. @Janetbirdope has the best quotes ever ‘ if its ain’t broke, don’t fix it, just leave it alone’ 🤷🏻♀️
IGg4 is very interesting , could just be reacting / secondary to an underlying phenomenon?
