Is a Biomarker for Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes on the Horizon?
With a better understanding of pathophysiology, improved management guidelines, available medications, and a multidisciplinary approach, pregnancy for lupus patients has become more feasible. Despite these improvements, some patients still experience poor outcomes, highlighting the need for biomarkers that can predict these risks. An abstract presented at #EULAR2024 (POS1393) explored this possibility.

#EULAR2024 POS1325 Childhood onset #lupus is often more severe with high mortality rate. Similar to findings in adults, 2 cSLE patients with refractory disease including failure to CyC, RTX & PLEX responded to CD19 CAR T cells with similar short term safety profile @RheumNow https://t.co/YD2arjxcso

#EULAR2024 POS0417 Using EXPLORE Inflammation I & II proteomics, marked immune dysregulation was seen in new ANA+ referral vs HC. 34% progressed to #lupus & #Sjogren. Six potential baseline biomarkers identified & closely resembled established SLE. Validation is ongoing @RheumNow https://t.co/I6HygqNwf7

#EULAR2024 LBA0007 More evidence on deep Bcell depletion in #lupus. Open label trial of Daratumumab, anti-CD38 plasma cell Ab showed rapid reduction in biomarker endpoint, dsDNA, as well as SRI-4 & CLASI-A at Wk12. No SAE but longer F/U needed since IgG reduced by 6g/L @RheumNow https://t.co/IIFPYV9oIr

Recommendation for management of fatigue in people with rheumatic disease.
Considering fatigue as a surrogate for inflammation and changing medication accordingly is part of it.
I will also add yearly blood work including:
1- VitD
2-HBA1c and LDl
3-TsH. https://t.co/3QvPqMxZSN

9 new MOAs in SLE to review - anti-cd38, cd40, ubiquitin ligase, tyk2, toll 7/8, baff-r, blyss/april, CAR-T, glycosylated cd20 @rheumnow #EULAR2024

#EULAR2024 POS0024 Lymphopenia, anemia, & low Plt are assoc with disease activity & damage accrual in #lupus. Post-hoc analysis of RCTs + LTE showed Anifrolumab normalised these Haem parameters vs PBO. May improve fatigue-associated with anaemia @RheumNow https://t.co/GF8aKU0Z5x

SLE Preview: abolishing refractory with CAR-T and better B-cell therapies
Despite advancements, some SLE patients remain refractory to belimumab and off-label rituximab, the main B cell-targeted therapies in the last 15 years.

#EULAR2024 POS0257 One for the future. Phase 2A RCT showed KPG-818, a Novel Cereblon Modulator (targets Aiolos & Ikaros) was well tolerated with
efficacy signal (SLEDAI-2K & CLASI-50). Effect and safety profile were numerically better in the lowest dose @RheumNow https://t.co/Bjk9zBRmVo

#EULAR2024 POS0529 Post-hoc analysis from Phase 2 NOBILITY showed consistent renal response was achieved in Obinutuzumab + SOC vs PBO + SOC across Complete Renal Response definitions and baseline Proteinuria levels. Assuring and looking forward to results next year @RheumNow https://t.co/wKCOP5BgoQ

#SARD #ILD
Who to screen for #rheumatic #diseases
For
ILD
#ACR guidelines
Screening May also depend on ILD prevalence
Not sure if frequency of screening and how to screen

#EULAR2024 OP0124 EULAR recommended target oral Pred =<5mg/d. Should the threshold of LLDAS be changed to LLDAS5? Multicentre study showed the protection gained from mortality, irreversible organ damage accrual and flare was no different btw the two targets @RheumNow #EULARBEST https://t.co/GbP25tTmX8

#EULAR2024 OP0145 Can we reclassify people with ANA+ RMD to improve clinical outcomes & stratify for basket trials? Deep machine learning identified distinct classes of ANA-RMD with distinct phenotypes & predicted long-term outcomes better than the legacy diagnoses @RheumNow https://t.co/W2hmmj0v8Y

#EULAR2024 OP0149 When the Doctor says YES but the patients say NO. Data from UK BILAG-BR in moderate to severe #lupus showed ~half patients who met clinical response did not improve their psychological wellbeing. Factors of discordant: ancestry, damage, SLEDAI-2K @RheumNow https://t.co/9cqcPripA2
