@Yuz6Yusof on breakthrough infections & severe #COVID in RTX treatment #EULAR2022
🦠Rate of mod/severe COVID infection comparable to pre-pandemic severe infection rate
💉High vaccination rate prevented severe disease
📊Consider #comorbidities & low IgG in risk-benefit assessment https://t.co/PGUVbHD7i2

BE COMPLETE RCT
Bimekizumab vs. PBO in TNFiIR PsA pts
meets its primary criteria at 16wks w/
-ACR50 43%
-PASI 90 69%
and MDA achieved in 40+% pts
No new safety signal.

RA & dementia - it's getting more damning
RA dementia risk: HR 1.25
from Korean nationwide data: RA n=138,592
this follows @MyasoedovaElena's data
RA systemic inflamm leading to dementia (AD, vascular)?
Need to understand if any DMARD protective

Promising! Prof Schett presents the 1st 5 #SLE pts who received CAR T cell therapy - all went into sustained remission off of meds: new B cells reconstituted at 100 days but SLE did not. OP0279 #EULAR2022 @rheumnow https://t.co/o3Ehp55C4Q

FAP tracer-based PET-CT ☄️ (68Ga-FAPI-04)
⚡️Detects metabolic activity and tissular inflammation
⚡️Correlates with MRI changes in PsA
⚡️Is associated
w/ progression of joint damage
⚡️Is sensitive to change
An exciting new imaging modality!

Difficult to treat RA (D2TRA):
⭐️Lower socioeconomic treatment
⭐️RF positivity
⭐️Higher inflammatory markers
⭐️ILD
⭐️Lower proportion on MTX, better response to JAKi and RTX

Was ORAL Surveillance really a surprise?
Let's look post-hoc at all the other tofacitinib RCTs (ph 1-3b/4 +LTE)
Cardiovascular risk-enriched pts were always in the same MACE ballpark with tofa
ORAL Surveillance was worse, but clues were always there

GLORIA trial presented by Martin Boxers. 2 yr RCT, 5mg Pred vs. PBO shows DAS28 benefit (-0.37 to -0.62) & -1.7 better X-ray (vs PBO) at 2yrs. BUT signif more harm (AE) RR 1.24; mostly infx. Is this a good trade off? Abst# OP0263 #EULAR2022 https://t.co/kBiRYxXXZe

#OP0247 #EULAR2022 Prof Mease analysed US Database (>1 million) pre- & post-Omicron using machine learning.Factors assoc with poor #COVID outcomes in IMID:age & comorbidities. Vaccination was protective. JAK-I and RTX increased risk weakly initially but not post-Omicron @RheumNow https://t.co/JCqTZvPgll

Risk of haematological malignancy in PsA
Nordic cohorts
*40 events, IR 67/100 000 person-years
*NO difference between PsA bionaive and TNFi treated
BUT *⬆️ in PsA vs. matched controls
*no difference between myeloid and lymphoid malignancies.

Swedish study by Lindstrom U et al of over 3000 PsA patients matched with RA comparators showed that the length of time on MTX (PsA 4.5 and RA 4.4 years) before adding or switching to b/tsDMARD was identical in PsA (34%) and matched RA controls (33%) #EULAR2022 @RheumNow POS0073 https://t.co/Dwrz8RVMnh

Can genetics solve all the world's problems with predicting response to therapy in rheumatology?
No - but maybe it can be a part of the solution?
Multi-domain apporaches (including good clinical data) needed to really have cut-through

#OP0248 #EULAR2022 In contrast to data from #OP0247 where SpA was protective, a matched population study in Canada found the opposite - increased risk of hospitalisation & death in SpA. A meta-analysis cd help to disentangle this @RheumNow https://t.co/keNZ2RPnXF

Izokibep Phase 2 in active PsA at Wk 16 results (80mg dose):
⭐️ACR50 52%
⭐️PASI 90 50%
⭐️Resolution of enthesitis LEI 88%
