Concerns using dupilumab in EGPA due to secondary eosinophilia
What about when combined with IL-5 therapy?
16 pt on dupi + IL5 agent
- if dupi alone caused eosinophilia -> quelled by IL-5
- no eosinophilia when dupi added to IL-5
- effective but slow

Case series of 5 patients with binutuzumab (CD20) in AAV
Short story short; it worked. Of course it worked. Obviously it worked. Everyone knew it would work.
Why aren't we doing more TRIALS with new/better B cell inhibitors in AAV?

Rural RA care looks different but not less intensive: DMARD and GC use matched urban rates, yet rural pts often managed by PCPs had twice the opioid use.
ACR's Rheum for Primary Care resource can help address access gap and improve RA care

Analysis from FVSG identified 36pts with anti-rituximab antibodies
In AAV, lookout for this in pts who are MPO+ & w/higher CD19 at 6 mos. Worse relapse free survival in both AAV & CRYO!
@TerrierBen can you share the prevalence of these abs?

#1263 More from our health literacy work!
@KingsCollegeNHS, 11 distinct health literacy profiles were identified from 263 rheum patients. Lower literacy linked to unemployment & non-White ethnicity, highlighting equity gaps in care & need for improved resources

In 2 lupus cohorts (n=619), 1 in 4 had mismatch between self-reported & measured physical function.
Higher BMI, disease activity & depression linked to underreporting ability ➡️ self-report ≠ performance! Important for SLE care & research. @RheumNow #ACR25 https://t.co/kMlChreJPh

GLP1 receptors are present on cartilage, synovial and specific cells such as macrophages.
Also endogenous GLP1 seemed to protect the cartilage in animal models
