I mean, if proteomics is more your jive for GCA, we’ve got that too here at #EULAR2023. Definite potential for phenotyping a disease with diverse outcomes

Could mitochondria play a role in the pathogenesis of Sjogrens disease?!

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

CareRA trial:
3 months addition of LEF vs. ETA in pts resistant to COBRA-Slim regimen (MTX 15 mg/w + step-down prednisone):
After 2 years, no difference in dis control but those who received ETA early were treated more frequently w/ csDMARD monotherapy #EULAR23 @RheumNow OP0129 https://t.co/YwSoZWi375

#EULAR2023 #POS0115 Can we minimise placebo response in #lupus trials? Post-hoc analysis of Phase 2 RCT Dapirolizumab (CD40-CD40L-i) showed greater response in acute flare with Normal Complement levels in the PBO group. Could Low Complement be used for trial entry? @RheumNow https://t.co/8aRq5tWi97

“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 🤷♂️
