Post-ORAL Surveillance, the @eular_org RA treatment guidelines had to change.
In the 2022 version:
JAKi now separate sentence following bDMARDs, with proviso to mention risk.
Sometimes guidelines have to tell us what we’ve all inevitably been expecting

In vitro study shows Upadacitinib inhibits enthesis T cell derived TNFa and IL-17A, disrupting the prominent IL-23/IL-17/TNFa axis driving SpA.

#OP0236 #EULAR2022 Prof Schulze-Koops highlighted a mechanistic study that baricitinib therapy ex vivo suppressed autophagy, increased apoptosis, and reduced expression of adhesion molecules in #sjogren salivary glands. Next step should be randomised controlled trial @RheumNow https://t.co/dirmHY9cYJ

Tofacitinib had faster and larger impact on improvement of fatigue compared to placebo in treatment of ankylosing spondylitis pts.
Note 100% fatigue resolution roughly same vs. placebo

#LB0002 #EULAR2022 An interesting study design looking at flare rate following withdrawal of drug after WK12. Phase 3 RCT of Baricitinib in paediatric JIA showed 76% met ACR30 at WK12. The Double-blind withdrawal showed less patients on Bari flared vs PBO (17% vs 51%) @RheumNow https://t.co/T0mSDkoHJo

Ramanan et al Baricitinib in JIA. Double blind withdrawal study of prior responders. Earlier flare with PBO vs bari (HR 0.24 [95%CI 0.13,0.45], p<0.001. Less flares with bari vs PBO (17.1% vs 50.6%) p<0.001 @RheumNow #EULAR2022 LB0002 https://t.co/22rp70njRu https://t.co/LtJE9dz0GT

P3 Double-Blind W/d study: Baricitinib for JIA
⭐️All pts start in open label w good benefit (1/2 with ACR70)
⭐️PBO W/d led to 50% flare vs 17% in BARI group, flares earlier

@EricFMorand up first in late-breakings
PAISLEY: deucravacitinib (TYK2i) ph2 in SLE - add-on, steroid wean
Good outcomes:
primary: SRI(4) at 32w
skin/joint/LLDAS & dsDNA/C4
Safety good (like PsO/PsA) but higher dose less so
Watch for: other clinical, ph3

Wow! Phase 2 #deucravacitinib data for #SLE met primary & secondary endpoints: SRI(4) response, BICLA, LLDAS, CLASI-50. AEs include: skin related events and UTIs but no increase in SIE, HZ, MACE/VTE @bmsnews LB0004 #EULAR022 @rheumnow https://t.co/bsKI0mixVT

@EricFMorand on deucravacitinib phase 2 for SLE
⭐️Meets primary endpt: SRI(4)
⭐️Secondary endpts: BICLA, LLD, CLASI, jt count, biomarkers improved
⭐️Safety data wo VTE, CVD events
Earlier at #EULAR2022, BRAVE trial phase 3 baricitinib: No benefit in SLE

New in AS. Upadacitinib 15mg od was significantly more effective than placebo over 14 weeks in AS bDMARD-IR (ASAS40 45% vs 18% and the onset of effect seen by week 4), no new safety risks identified in the SELECT-AXIS 2 study by Van de Heijde et al #EULAR2022 @RheumNow POS0306 https://t.co/LCQBf38GWe

Frisell et al. Safety b/tsDMARDs from 10 years ARTIS. There is a mass of interesting data here, look at that figure! Higher rates of discontinuation due to AEs for tofa, bari, sari, rituximab. May be explained by chanelling and residual confounding @RheumNow #EULAR2022 POS0637 https://t.co/KrspU6c9Cs

What drives residual pain improvement in #JAKi treated pts? Dunno but #Baricitinib and #Sarilimab showed better pain decrease vs placebo and #Adalimumab. #OP0052 showed both #Tofacitinib & Adalimumab reduced pain more than placebo in PsA & RA if in remission @RheumNow @eular_org
