In ERA high BMI is associated with high BMI is assoc with failure to get to Low disease activity. From NORD-STAR RCT. Cdn CATCH cohort in #early #Rheumatoid #arthritis also shows I is associated w less remission and less sustained remission #EULAR2023 @RheumNow POS0324 https://t.co/9EXY8Dyz74

Which bDMARD first in PsA?
2023 @eular_org recommendation: no preferred order. All are equal in its eyes

Predictive model to predict RA status via AI , to know what goes in to model or predictions may change. Ex use of DMARDs https://t.co/fkcEKfZWl8

We would think that targeted therapies would have reduced GC use in RA.
Well, this is not really the case.
Comaprison of GC use in 1999-2008 vs. 2009-2018
52% of patients remain on GC for>3Mo after initiation & 1/3 still continues after 2 years!

It might not be perfect, but it’s just great to have a dynamic poster floor back #EULAR2023. The heartbeat of the meeting!

What is the course of clinically suspect arthralgia in CCP+ vs neg? 781 pts, 136 got RA and sl more resolved symptoms. RA developed in both groups ACPA+ develop more rapidly - if resolution, still more MRI + vs neg. #EULAR2023 POS319 @RheumNow Diff patterns of progression

#Sjogrens has a positive RCT with Dazodalibep. Well tolerated in Phase 2 RCT - Congratulations -heading to phase 3 Primary outcome positive but not 2ndary but not powered for them @RheumNow #EULAR2023 @eular_org LB0003 #SSj https://t.co/Qt0KTaNjsR

Weather impacts outcomes in RA: myth or reality? ⛈🌦
Larger study to date 14200 weather-matched PROs
Mean PtP PtF PtGA scores higher in winter
Few meteorological measures significantly correlated w/ PROs, but correlations are weak

Obviously lots of real world data at #EULAR2023 on JAKi safety (cardiovascular & cancer, see ORAL Surveillance).
Real problem:
many still have shorter follow-up periods. Cancer in particular takes time. It’s great to see data now, but:
*longer follow-up needed* +++

Pts acceptance and usage decrease during time (like many other studies using apps)
Composite score of PROs asso w/ risk of RA (...but VPP 12%)

#EULAR2023 #LB0003 It is unheard of therapies that potentially can improve Sjogren patients with high symptoms burden. Phase 2 RCT of Dazodalibep (CD40L-i) showed ESSPRI improved vs PBO. Numerical improvement in other secondary (Fatigue). Will await results in Phase 3 @RheumNow https://t.co/0NzR83apeY

Cool way to get peg uricase tolerated in #gout. ##Rapamycin nanoparticle Rx w SEL 212 a uricase -infusion reactions 3.4% - all premeds w steroids and antihistamines- some stomatitis - seemed to lower uric acid and have good tolerability LB0002 @RheumNow #EULAR2023 @eular_org https://t.co/xWzuY3Xkyw

Amazing the chatter in the room for this one. The idea that a new JAKi might genuinely outperform existing JAKi in hard-to-treat RA, without safety cost, is particularly enticing.
We all want to see the paper & healthy skepticism of ph2, but watch this space #EULAR2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/jEyk8zqZN8

Dazodalibep is the next CD40L inhibitor being tested in Sjogren’s - we need better therapies genuinely reducing symptom burden. Nice phase 2 data analyses so far of subjective measures, and plenty will be happy if we see this kind of result in phase 3

How do we improve MTX adherence?
Biochemical measure of MTX adherence
37% of patients starting a biologic do not take their MTX (!)
Those who do respond better to first Biologic at 6 Mo than those who don’t
37% biologic responders = non adherent

A mono therapy study RCT of TLL-018 vs #Tofa in RA subanalyses of previous JAKi exposure have not been done. Pts could have failed #Tofacitinib & enrolled so data could be divided to determine how this group responded. Safety looked good in both Rx LB0001 @RheumNow #EULAR2023 https://t.co/4kBHxWmk0q
