Day 2 Report - ACR Plenaries: Changing the Practice of Rheumatology
Over the years of navigating the annual meeting, I found the sessions with the most impact to my practice were the Plenary Sessions. During these sessions, the latest research is presented, new ideas are floated, and old myths debunked. Here are the top ACR2023 Plenary abstracts I found impactful for my practice.

What could CAR-T therapy mean for pts? Dr. Schett reviews 8 SLE pts, data collected since 2021 post 1 CAR-T treatment, & their marked improvement/remission of symptoms by classification criteria. Currently, he is studying a total of 15 pts (SLE, SS, myositis) #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/MyMcF3PwiP

Excellent pragmatic RCT, TNF withdrawal in RA
Almost 2/3 flared by 1 yr; at 3 years up to 3 in 4
Supports my practice of generally continuing TNFs long term
Also highlights importance of pt preferences; 1 in 4 may do well if they wish to discontinue
