Male sex independently associated with greater mSASSS increase (β 0.29), higher odds of ≥2-unit mSASSS progression (OR 2.08), and new syndesmophyte formation (OR 1.90) in #axSpA despite lower disease activity scores. Treat symptoms and progression Abstr OP0101 @RheumNow

RD in #IBD: 18.6% of 650 IBD pts affected, most commonly peripheral arthritis and AxSpa. Key finding: 14% of rheumatic manifestations preceded IBD diagnosis. Rheumatologists may see these pts first. GI-rheum collaboration is essential. @RheumNow #EULAR2026 POS0807 https://t.co/028yzOxJ2R

Over 10 years in the GESPIC cohort, males with #axSpA had lower ASDAS/BASDAI and enthesitis but double the odds of significant spinal radiographic progression vs females (OR 2.08). Symptoms don’t always correlate to structural damage Abstr OP0101 @RheumNow #EULAR2026

After TNFi secondary failure: does MOA switch beat TNFi cycling? UK RWD (n=155): yes for #PsA (76% vs 57% drug survival at 12m) and axSpA (80% vs 68%), but not RA. Yet 74% of axSpA pts still got another TNFi. Evidence vs practice gap in plain sight. @RheumNow #EULAR2026 POS0776

JAKi vs ABA in RA-ILD: emulated target trial (n=1,162), JAKi with worse composite respiratory outcomes (HR 1.57) and all-cause mortality (HR 1.59) vs ABA over 5 yrs. JAKi with ↑ pneumonia risk. In RA-ILD, ABA may be the preferred choice? @RheumNow #EULAR2026 POS0813 #EULARBEST

@RheumNow WIN Nutrition session #EULAR2026 (4) 🌾 Gluten does NOT influence biologic response in RD, BELIEVE cohort, 197 pts. No need to go gluten-free unless celiac disease 🌱 Plants for Joints trial: plant-based diet + exercise → sustained DAS28&WOMAC improvement @ 2Y, RA/OA @RheumNow

@RheumNow WIN Nutrition session at #EULAR2026 (3) 6.🍟 High UPF intake → increased RA risk (HR 1.06/SD), partly mediated by CRP. Not all NOVA-4 foods are equal 7.💊 Vit D supplementation significantly reduces SLE disease activity — MA of 10 RCTs, SMD −0.54 (p<0.00001). @RheumNow

WIN Nutrition session at #EULAR2026 (2) 🐟 n-3 PUFAs reduce RA risk by 9–10% per SD increase — especially in genetically high-risk individuals. 🫒 Mediterranean diet reduces RA risk by 25% (HR 0.75) & SLE risk by 39% (HR 0.61) in UK Biobank studies. @RheumNow

WIN Nutrition session at #EULAR2026 (1) 🫐Higher fruit intake → RR 0.88 & cereal intake → RR 0.87 for RA onset 🥩 Highest quartile of red & processed meat intake → nearly DOUBLE the risk of RA onset (OR 1.92, CI 1.11–3.35) @rheumnow https://t.co/RhO08FXtLI

D2T RA shows a linked brain–psychology–immune signature Cohort D2T RA vs non-D2T RA vs HC 91% D2T RA Higher catastrophizing Higher pain sensitivity More emotion-focused coping strategies “Chronic pain-like” profile Associated with higher CNS related gene expression NRG1 https://t.co/nkQco73vqI

Impt pts to consider in D2T CLE by Prof Wittmann: If tx is not working, ask yourself: is the dx correct? adherence? Main message: treat early When damage is present, tx doesn’t really provide considerable improvements Future drxns? Endotype-directed tx @Rheumnow #EULAR2026 https://t.co/hB48aD7jx5

Catching your breath session at #EULAR2026 RA-ILD is heterogeneous, maybe under-recognized and risk stratification remains a challenge (Pierre-Antoine -Jugr) Screening for RA-ILD is only as good as availability of early intervention and treatment (Jeff Sparks) @RheumNow https://t.co/V1JXM3i9wP

Catching up with the “Optimising care in SpA” at #EULAR2026 #OP0234 Phase 3 OLINGUITO trial showed filgotinib significantly improved ASAS40 responses vs PBO in both radiographic and non-radiographic axSpA by Week 16, with responses maintained through Week 52. @RheumNow #EULARBest https://t.co/axn6Zv52RA

What to use in #RA #IL6i v #abatacept post #TNFi-IR? H2H #TCZ v #Abatacept Same on primary outcome #CDAI change wk26 BUT If #monoRx TCZ better Better retention #TCZ So you decide which is better! Equal v some advantages w #tocilizumab #EULAR2026 @RheumNow @eular_org #OP0205 https://t.co/xdOx4kQCTC

SCOOT study oral split-dose vs SC MTX RA Primary outcome EULAR mod/good response wk16 Non-inferiority NOT met EULAR good response lower with oral split-dose OR 0.53 ACR50 lower with oral split-dose OR 0.51 Safety oral split-dose Higher transaminitis (>2× ULN) 3 serious AEs https://t.co/c8etFKtGwo

#EULAR2026 OP Are we closer to controlled trials of CAR-T? Miv-cel KYV-101 autologous CD19 CAR-T reported efficacy and safety profile in 6 patients with severe refractory #RA (median prior bDMARDs: 6) in Phase I COMPARE. Will proceed to Phase II with RTX as a comparator @RheumNow https://t.co/Rb4BFgBDZE

TCZ vs ABA head-to-head in #RA after 1-2 prior b/tsDMARDs: SUNSTAR RCT (n=224) didn't hit its primary endpoint (CDAI change at wk 26, p=0.11). But composite response (treatment persistence + LDA + steroid-sparing) favored TCZ: 50.5% vs 35% (p=0.034). @RheumNow #EULAR2026 OP0205

MTX PO split dose MTX (15mg AM + 10mg PM) vs SC in early seropositive #RA in SCOOT RCT (n=252): SC MTX had better EULAR response at 16 wks (OR 0.55, p=0.049) and ↑ transaminitis with oral split. SC MTX remains the preferred route above 15mg/wk. @RheumNow #EULAR2026 OP0206
