Amazing & thoughtful poster re:protocol violates in TICOSPA trial
51.2% of pts violated T2T protocol at least once... but did not impact primary outcome
Good baseline for future "strategy" style pragmatic trials

#ACR23 Late-Breaking Abstr#L09 In a crowded market, you’ve got to stand out. Phase 2 RCT of LNK01001, a highly selective JAK1-i in China: improvement in ACR 20,50,70 vs PBO at WK12. Those in PBO who didn’t meet ACR20 improved after receiving Tx. Very low infections @RheumNow https://t.co/ZbJFNHOtFT

Chinese pts with mod-severe RA, csDMARD failures
12mg/24mg/PBO: W12: ACR20 60/73/31%, ACR50 40/42/9, ACR70 12/21/2%
Stat signif diff reached at wk 1 for ACR20!
Improved DAS28, HAQ-DI

CV Events in AS by Rx
A#L11 @RheumNow #ACR23
43K pts from Korean data
Rates of incident MI or CV:
18.7 per 10,000 py in non-bDMARD pt
8.9 in TNF
12.9 in IL-17
TNFi reduced risk of CVD HR 0.7, not signif for IL-17
Supports idea of TNFi giving a cardioprotective effect?

ARTIC REWIND: To taper or not?
A#L07 #ACR23 @RheumNow
RA pts taper TNFi in stable remission
No taper group: 85% flare free in 3 yrs
Taper grp: only 25%
Lower Boolean 2.0 Remission rates
Don't taper off a good thing! https://t.co/KnJrEfVFkV

#ACR23 Late-Breaking Abstr#L14 Which team are you on? IL5-i or IL5-receptor-i #EGPA. Phase 3 H2H RCT showed similar efficacy btw Mepolizumab and Benralizumab, with more pts fully tapering off GC at WK52 favouring BENRA. Rapid reduction in Eosinophils too @RheumNow #ACRBest https://t.co/cXhSS80mA2

Is #cardiology now a specialty like #rheumatology with bDMARDs? Many pathways discussed for CVD in #rheumatoid #arthritis. And biologics for lowering lipids too! #ACR23 @ACRheum @RheumNow 14T118. More overlap of pts over time! https://t.co/blv5GmHTGe

MANDARA: Benralizumab v Mepolizumab in EGPA
A#L14 #ACR23 @RheumNow
P3, 52w RCT, 140 pts
Remission rate: 59% Ben, 56.5% Mep
Relapse rate 30% in both
86% Ben, 74% Mep had reduction of GC dose 50%+, 41% v 26% tapered off
SAEs: 6% Ben, 13% Mep
Concl: Non-inferiority of Ben v Mep https://t.co/mSIFsDq8eL

I continue to be underwhelmed by nintedanib, esp in RA-ILD
Data from INBUILD-ON, f/u study to the INBUILD basket trial
Persistent loss of FVC... wonder how pts would have done had they received an RA-active DMARD?
Need H2H vs TNFs & real DMARDs
