New biomarkers in axSpA. In early axSpA (DESIR cohort), higher baseline Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) activity was linked to sacroiliac radiographic progression over 5 years. Lower zonulin and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) levels also associated with progression. Highlights https://t.co/1uBtR4QA97

Hydroxychloroquine in SLE is all about the sweet spot. Not too hot with retinopathy, not too cold with flares, just right by the levels.
Yet drug concentrations and TDM are not commonplace in many places - time for change

“We’ve got to do better for our patients with GCA” - Laura Coates, doing the #ACR25 meeting review
She told us she is speaking about diseases outside her comfort zone but she is bang on.
As she said: not good enough real world all the people not on steroid-sparing Rx

Do biologics prevent PsA?
Retro cohort analysis EHR through natural language processing
5 years trends
PsO treated w/ IL-17i had lower incidence of PsA/IA than pts treated w/ IL-23i, IL-12/23i, or TNFi therapies
Adjustment on several confounding
Prospective data heavily https://t.co/W9MFaWNbWC

For PsA, can biologics prevent damage? If so, which one?
Difficult to answer often b/c confounding by indication. NLP-informed propensity matching beyond demographics for clinical factors like BSA

In a U.S. axSpA cohort (n=4,799), women had a 24% higher adjusted risk of TNFi discontinuation vs men especially under age 65. No sex differences seen for IL-17i or JAKi, though sample sizes were small. Highlights need for sex-informed treatment strategies. Abstract#2634 https://t.co/58Dw3nFCsf
