Just a reminder: nr-axSpA isn’t destined to become r-axSpA/AS. Life is more complicated than that.
Between the natural history and TNFi, very small conversion rate post-10y. Of course, whatever the x-rays, it can still disable though

Very early days, but it’s cool to see transcriptomics in GCA ➡️ in situ spatial profiling ➡️ drug-gene interactions ➡️ new therapeutic targets identified.
Only time will tell if they will work, but very cool nevertheless.

I’ve been hearing the term ´Jackies’ used in talks on Jak inhibitors. A shorter form of JAKinibs or JAKi #EULAR2023 @RheumNow

In Brazil, if you’re in the early RA clinic (yellow bars) you do a lot better than other academic clinics, even w bDMARD access.
Maybe it’s early Rx, or love & care, or other patient factors
- but it’s a reminder that RA isn’t a level playing field.

Do we use too much PNL in GCA (when not using TCZ)? Could we wean quicker?
Salvarini group n=22
26w PNL weaning protocol from GiACTA, but no TCZ
10/26 in relapse free remission at 1y
Much less PNL, still some steroid AEs
Way of the future for some?

Tapering pred in RA - this just rings true from everyday clinic life.
Some patients just seem to hit a wall at PNL 2.5. Sometimes it’s GC withdrawal arthralgias/tertiary adrenal insufficiency, but often it’s genuine inflammation.
I still wonder why?

#EULAR2023 #POS0120 From Sjogren to SLE. Interim analysis of Phase 2 RCT showed primary endpoint, SRI-4 + ability to sustain pred dose to ≤5 mg/d or ≤ BL from Wk16 to 28 was achieved more in Ianalumab (Bcell depletion & BAFF-R-i) vs PBO (44% vs 9%).

Can machine learning help bDMARD selection in RA?
Early days limited by the data available, so not great yet, but efforts underway are a good start for an area where we need to do better than our status quo guessing.

Rituximab in RA - do you need to maintain B cell depletion?
Well, in this Paris cohort, if you divide up patients by B cell depletion (at time of next infusion) - no diff in efficacy.
Bias possible but B cell depletion in RA isn’t the hill to die on POS0636 #EULAR2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/GLdu9YkL7g

“You don’t need MTX with TCZ for RA”
Err, well:
- just like TNFi, you def can get ADAb to TCZ
- they definitely lead to lower response rates
- MTX co-admin reduces ADAb
Seems like a good idea to me, but your call 🤷♂️

The risk of demyelination with TNFi is low but real. Slight increase of risk was found in male RA patients. The small number of events is reassuring. Careful consideration is recommended in individuals at highest risk of demyelinating diseases Abst#OP0135 #EULAR2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/YT6ZrJTjU0
