What ‘CAR’ to drive?
#CAR-T buzz was at #EULAR2025
In multiple #rheumatic #diseases
#SLE
#Scleroderma
#Sjogrens
#myositis
Even #axial #SpA
Who - active, not a lot of damage
Which target 🎯
Which priming regiment
What will results be compared to?
Who will pay?

Late-Onset Disease: Different Age, Different Rules?
We’re seeing more patients develop rheumatic diseases for the first time in their 60s, 70s, or beyond. But are these truly the same diseases we see in younger adults, or do they behave differently, shaped by age-related https://t.co/ubVRhhRGxG

Biologic switching in PsA:
-Retrospective study on 3,851 PsA pts initiating bDMARDs, 1,848 (48%) switched therapy at least once.
-TNFis were the initial therapy.
-IL17i were the first switch in both single-switch and multi-switch scenarios.
-Subsequent switches: back to TNFi https://t.co/tJDJvPeu9T

#EULAR2025 Abstr#OP0204 Limitations of #SLE Damage Index (SDI): outdated items definition, missing item & unclear use in children. Revised SDI (SLICC-ACR-LFA) via data-driven and expert patient-doctor consensus is underway. Next steps: validation and including weighting @RheumNow https://t.co/K5rPgXBPrj

Pearls on EGPA:
1. GC are mainstay for mild
dz
2. Organ threatening/relapsing➡️CYP (RTX alternative)
3. W/o organ threatening➡️ anti-IL-5/IL-5R.
4. IL5i are less effective for ENT
5. Consider sx for nasal polyps.

EULAR FMF recommendations 2025:
still emphasis on colchicine adherence to maximal dose
+/- bDMARDs if needed for control
+/- csDMARDs for residual chronic MSK involvement
new: consider tapering bDMARD if remission >6mo
See the treatment algorithm below⬇️

Despite the evolution of anti-synthetase antibodies, there’s a clear need for better ways to define the disease.
Enter the ACR/EULAR CLASS initiative - classification criteria for anti-synthetase syndrome

FMF #Recommendations
🔺️Start Colchicine in All (& continue for confirmed pts)
🔺️Single or divided dose, depend on adherence & tolerance
🔺️Max dose 2 mg children, 3 mg adults
🔺️if failure: add IL1i (6 RCT) (2 for IL6i)
🔺️Add c or bDMARd if MSK

Joint pain and fatigue are actually the biggest issues for people living with haemochromatosis, but we in rheumatology don’t have organized care for them.
A call to action from Patrick Kiely, to do better by these patients

Which CAR-based strategies would you consider to treat severe refractory #SLE based on data presented at #EULAR2025? @RheumNow
Md Yuzaiful Md Yusof Yuz6Yusof ( View Tweet)
POETYK PsA-1
Deucravacitinib TYK2i RCT Ph 3
ACR 20 DEU 54% vs. 34% PBO wk 16
ACR 50 DEU 23% vs. 14% PBO
also significant diff for HAQ-DI PASI 75 SF-36 PCS and MDA
Less Rx progression
