Oral TYK2i deucravacitinib works for #PsA with OR without methotrexate. Pooled POETYK data (n=648): ACR20/50/MDA, enthesitis, dactylitis, skin responses, and PROs all comparable regardless of MTX use at wk 52. Good news for pts who can't tolerate MTX. @RheumNow #EULAR2026 POS0288

#EULAR2026 POS0306 Can we predict #lupus nephritis pts who would achieve CR at 12 mths? Monocentric study used M.Learning: developed & internally validated 5 Clinical Score (LUPRED) with AUC 0.75 training set, 0.78 validation. Simple to use but needs external validation @RheumNow https://t.co/1VRE1yBCac

#EULAR2026 POS0713 Is there a hope for BTK-inhibition in #SLE despite several previous failures? A Phase IIb RCT in China: primary endpoint (SRI-4) was met in Orelabrutinib vs PBO in dose-dependent manner. No new safety signal. Phase 3 RCT is underway @RheumNow https://t.co/4cJ8ezppTS

Interim results from ASTER, a study on real world effectiveness of ANI in SLE: Pts receiving ANI had improvements in total SLEDAI-2K scores after 1 yr ffup period
MCT, MSK & hema had the highest decrease in SLEDAI-2K scores from pre-tx to 1yr ffup

#OP0336 Exploratory analyses from REGENCY👑 OBI +standard tx induced ⬆️ histological remission & markedly greater kidney tissue B-cell depletion vs PBO in lupus nephritis. Many patients without clinical CRR still achieved histologic remission. #EULAR2026 @RheumNow #EULARBest https://t.co/DoOlRO9QsC

#OP0340 Long-term DARALUP data suggest CD38-targeting with daratumumab may be promising in refractory SLE, with rapid serologic and clinical improvements sustained to 84 weeks in many patients. Flares occurred in 6/10 patients but responded to belimumab. #EULAR2026 @RheumNow

#EULAR2026 POS0683 Additional analysis of ALLEGORY RCT: in addition to meeting primary endpoint (SRI-4) and 5 key secondary endpoints, Obinutuzumab led to greater DORIS remission and LLDAS vs PBO in nonrenal #SLE. Under FDA review for license extension to non-renal @RheumNow https://t.co/HhZNX3w8v5

Does sequential therapy infliximab —> tofacitinib outperform tofa alone in axSpA?
Yes: faster remission at week 4 (84.6% vs 15%)
But: equal at week 24
Prospective study in 46 patients

What do you think about this cartoon-style format for posters?
A- I love it!
B- It’s Ok but I prefer classic
As for the content: Axia digital therapeutic app improves mobility, BASDAI, sleep an sexual function in 32 patients

#EULAR2026 OP0341 Phase I Obe-Cel Autologous CD19 CAR-T (advantage: 4-1BB-ζ, fast off-rate binding domain to reduce immunotoxicity) showed efficacy and acceptable safety with either 50M or 100M dose in N=13 patients with refractory #SLE. Need longterm data & comparators @RheumNow https://t.co/qxidRi0jit

#EULAR2026 OP0340 WK84 data of single arm Phase 2 Daratumumab (CD38 plasma depleter) weekly for 8 doses with background IS in N=10 #SLE: rapid reduction of antidsDNA & efficacy. 6/10 relapsed from WK20; 5/10 had low IgG and needed IVIG. Promising but Not so durable @RheumNow https://t.co/UrTywqkQ4F

Understanding how Bispecific T cell engagers work: remarkable mode of action!
Let’s hope it works as well as in oncology!

#EULAR2026 OP0336 Exploratory study of REGENCY RCT showed Obinutuzumab induced tissue depletion & histologic remission vs PBO. Interestingly, 53% OBI CRR non-responders had histologic remission. Better #lupus nephritis markers needed beyond proteinuria @RheumNow #EULARBest https://t.co/d8jPo9scvw

#EULAR2026 OP0335 Open label extension study of Phase II Ianalumab RCT in #SLE: some patients treated with IAN for up to 1 year, had persistent benefits (median 44 wks post-IAN) following Bcell recovery. Important info to judiciously treat while balancing infection risk @RheumNow https://t.co/DEkGMYwy3H

Many drugs in the pipeline for #Systemic_Sclerosis
In particular, stay tuned for:
🔺Nerandomilast (PDE4i) in ILD
🔺CAR T cells (obviously): big RCT trials planned
🔺Bispecific T cell engagers: Teclistamab

Gecacitinib 100mg BiD vs PBO in active r-axSpA:
Met primary endpt ASAS40 at wk 16 showing efficacy of gecacitinib vs. PBO (51.9%vs12.9%,p<0.0001)
Gecacitinib showed ⬆️ improvements in ASDAS-CRP, physical fnxn, spinal mobility & QOL
Promising tx.

#OP0337 In 48-week WILLOW🌳 LTE, oral TLR7/8 inhibitor enpatoran showed sustained improvements in cutaneous lupus activity with high CLASI-50/70 response rates and consistent safety profile across doses. Encouraging long-term data for CLE/SLE skin disease. #EULAR2026 @RheumNow https://t.co/6y0HjaTMqh

#EULAR2026 OP0337 In double blind LTE WILLOW study, cutaneous efficacy (change in CLASI, CLASI 70/50) was maintained in Enpatoran, TLR 7/8-i by WK48. Those switched from PBO to ENP at WK24 also showed equal efficacy to ENP-ENP group. Promising treatment for #CLE #lupus @RheumNow https://t.co/0Plpy6c8At
