Sometimes your RA pts are eligible for ICI cancer immunotherapy, but there’s hesitancy because of autoimmune risk/bad irAEs
@DanaFarber @MassGenBrigham:
more RA flares
but similar mortality, severe irAEs rates
Give them what they need!

Askanase et al. Phase 2 RCT Cenerimod (S1P modulator) in SLE. Primary endpoint not met. Some suggestion of efficacy at highest 4mg dose. But if its already like this in a phase 2, I doubt a phase 3 will bring better results @RheumNow #ACR22 Abstr#1656 https://t.co/p4fcKW3cYD https://t.co/ha8xqeW6Xk

@RheumNow Assessing CV events in hierarchical order (each level has additional CV event). Hypothesis that increased CV events are driven by VTE in all-comers with the 10mg dose. https://t.co/IfRdJBERuA

L06 #ACR22 ORAL Surveillance Updates!
Composite of all ischemic CV events and HF did NOT show difference b/w TOFA vs TNFi
But, MACE numerically higher with Tofa w/ h/o ASCVD
Highest CV risk in TOFA 10 mg BID, 2/2 VTE risk
Most important risk is pt's individual risks
