Post-hoc analysis of SELECT-COMPARE showing decreased residual pain at week 12 but not week 26 cf. ADA, regardless of residual inflammation. Does this just reflect differing onset of action?

In a prospective cohort where MTX was withheld for 1 week post COVID vaccine, antibodies higher than other DMARDs which were continued (mostly RTX/MMF).
Good to see more direct data rather than having to extrapolate from flu.

Does curcurmin (tumeric) do anything in RA?
Big talk & sales.
Best chance would be keeping pts in remission during csDMARD taper:
DBRCT n=200
52w, high bioavail form, good serum conc
Absolutely nothing vs placebo
I'll call it: just doesn't work in RA

Even young SLE patients are still at high risk of severe COVID:
- in general pop, age is key factor
- in SLE, risk is high across age groups (maybe due to both meds & disease)
- vaccination makes a big diff but SLE pts still at high risk
