What are you using for ANCA vasculitis maintenance?
Not much difference in AZA vs. RTX on demand
70% relapse free in RTX q6 month for 18 months
NO difference in similar 36 month group
Should maintenance w/ RTX only last for 18 months?
Food for thought

Brilliant summary slide re:RA and PsA during an as-always entertaiing by Dr. Seo
Personal opinion?
-Persolimab will have narrow role & may cause CA
-BIME will be 2nd line for PsA
-Tyk-2's will be the next big thing
Also... time for H2H trials!!!

NORD-STAR study
RA pts treated with MTX + certolizumab, abatacept, tocilizumab or triple therapy
Certolizumab and Abatacept share 1st place!
Toci 2nd
Should we place abatacept higher on the RA tx hierarchy?

Still disgesting NORD-STAR, kind of surprised by the TCZ response?
As per usual, ABA is probably an under-used option for RA
