EULAR 2024 – Day 2 Report (A Difficult RA Day)
Day 2 at EULAR 2024 was a big poster day for many with several good sessions and oral presentations on Preventing RA, new vasculitis therapies and a session devoted to the 50th anniversary of the Moll & Wright Criteria.

Inflammatory bowel disease in spondyloarthritis - does it matter?
Do the clinical features of axSpA patients with and without IBD differ?
In Abstract OP0085 at #EULAR2024, De Hooge M et al presented data from the METEOR cohort that identify clinical differences between these two groups. This will be important in order to stratify the management approach in axSpA patients with or without IBD as the emerging therapies have different effects on EMMs.
This can be coming to a clinic near you. Hotspot/ROI ratio (HRR) values from high-resolution thermographic marker in the detection of joint inflammation, compared to joint ultrasound showed excellent performance in the differentiation of joints with US inflammatory activity from… https://t.co/1unRxxgHAd https://t.co/tOPDSxzvwB

Does TCZ switch off GCA histopathologically?
GCA pts still on TCZ (median 2.4y duration) had repeat temporal artery biopsy (contralat)
Despite serological remission on TCZ, a heap had active histopath findings & PET still active. Scary

Greatest chance of sustained drug-free remission (DFR) is seen in early RA pts, NEVER requiring a biologic (esp if seronegative blue line). ERA on biologics never achieve DFR (yellow). Leiden EAC clinic study of 627 ERA pts Abstr# POS0615 #EULAR2024 https://t.co/zpCG6oSE3T

Loved the talk on #VEXAS by @maferradastrong today at #EULAR2024 !
Amazing pictures to explain cellular level pathophysiology!
Look for abnormal signs that arent otherwise explained to try to get to the diagnosis. @rheumnow https://t.co/YZmAqmFHpE

#EULAR2024 POS0529 Post-hoc analysis from Phase 2 NOBILITY showed consistent renal response was achieved in Obinutuzumab + SOC vs PBO + SOC across Complete Renal Response definitions and baseline Proteinuria levels. Assuring and looking forward to results next year @RheumNow https://t.co/wKCOP5BgoQ

Who to screen for #rheumatic #diseases
For
ILD
#ACR guidelines
Screening May also depend on ILD prevalence
Not sure if frequency of screening and how to screen

Did the patient fail on therapy or are the therapies failing the patient? 🤔

I was allocated to bring down the warning, & I did apologise up front to both the EMA and Janet #EULAR2024. It's a tough gig regulating impactful medicines with risk-benefit, especially when our world is full of other medicines with risk-benefit trade-offs (like prednisolone). 2/ https://t.co/6YPhYHbhg8

So how do we get from slightly increased numbers of uncommon events in a single study (ORAL Surveillance)?
Regulators think differently to us, which partly is the difficulty of a restrictive warning.
So being the Aussie I am, I asked - does it pass the 'pub test'? 4/ #EULAR2024 https://t.co/Ih9H87wH22

Having said that, the EMA warning has elements making it extremely tough:
- still very broad criteria that capture 80% of people who were starting JAKi
- the need for "no suitable treatment alternatives" before using a JAKi, right across all diseases (not just RA) 3/ #EULAR2024 https://t.co/IsrYO7qzqM

So I think there is plenty we could do instead.
better regulation
better risk stratification
better counselling
better risk factor management
