DANBIO registry: 1600+ pts RA, AxSpA, PsA
Infiximab biosimilar to biosimilar switch (CT-P13 -> GP1111)
Maintenance at 1yr:
>80%
> withdrawal in original IFX naive, but higher BL DA
Do second time switchers do better because of past switch experience?

We're used to originator-to-biosimilar switches.
Widespread biosim use means we now see biosim-biosim switches (incl as second switch)
DANBIO data
retention good
I see the hallmarks of nocebo still an issue
I think we can all agree: ongoing education important

Yes. But this only accounts for 1/3 of risk to develop clinical RA.
We need a better understanding of the other 2/3 so we can propose efficient preventive interventions.

@EBRheum @RheumNow Its more than that…tubulointerstitial kidney disease, lymph nodes, salivary gland, and hepatobiliary tract disease don’t show findings of vasculitis.
Certain HLA haplotypes more linked with autoimmune diseases are present.

@AlexisOgdie et al: PsA pts who were MDA, DAPSA LDA, or ACR50 responders vs non-responders reported clinically meaningful improvements across PROs including pain, physical function, fatigue, and work productivity. Abs 1019 #ACR22 @RheumNow https://t.co/MK13sXS3Or https://t.co/TfCrQMV2JX

Presence of DFS pattern should not be used to indiscriminately exclude presence of a rheumatic disease based on retrospective study in Abs 0814. RA, SS and Raynaud's ICD10 codes were higher among DFS pattern ANA per chart review. #ACR22 @RheumNow https://t.co/mLtppvR4dk https://t.co/6Lukxntqe7

Biosimilar to biosimilar effective in treatment of RA/PsA/AxSpA.
Large study looking at infliximab biosimilar switching - resulted in high retention rates and virtually no change in disease activity.

The greater the PsAID score, the more likely escalation in PsA treatment. Noted significant correlation between PsAID and physician global scores. Do you use PsAID in your clinic? Abs 1028 #ACR22 @RheumNow https://t.co/gcjm2XgPE3 https://t.co/bKPtXz5Nw8

Abstr #1494 determinants of clinically important worsening (CIW) of early axSpA
- CIW = ASDAS ↑ > 0.9 b/w 2 visits
- Tender Joint count and ASAS-NSAID score associated w/ CIW
- MRI SI Jt inflammation & structural damage predictive of CIW

Global survey of rheumatic irAE people (me included)
Standard case
Variable answers, broadly distributed
none are wrong
We'll move from expert extrapolation of concepts to data-driven answers, with the right foundations👍

Do patients with PsA like online wellness programs? #ACR22 @RheumNow
🌈 186 patients, 86% women, 90% White
🌈sleep and nutrition were highly rated for wellness
🌈cost and fatigue barriers to adopting wellness behaviors
🌈 27% were open to an online wellness program

BASDAI and ASDAS performed similarly in axPsA pts, both demonstrating weak correlations w/ peripheral arthritis and moderate/strong correlations w/ pt fatigue and pain. Abs 1037 #ACR22 @RheumNow https://t.co/WRQx1hkIll https://t.co/kJVIWyVv2w

Window of opportunity in PsA
CorEvitas registry:
Early initiators had more severe disease & worse PROs
but if DMARD therapy initiated within 1 yr: RR=2 MDA achievement & higher reduction of CDAI

Performance BASDAI & ASDAS in evaluating PsA axial symptoms?
400+ pts DISCOVER 1&2
Weak correlations w/ peripheral arthritis
Moderate/strong correlations w/ fatigue & pain
Both perform similarly but do they perform well enough?

Benefits with receiving anabolic agents upfront before antiresoprtives (as opposed to other way around). Shame about lack of access to this sequence currently
