Ultrasound may be used to evaluate patients with RA (POS1393) and SSc (POS1394)
👁️Look for B-lines and pleural irregularity
Will require training of MSKUS rheumatologists, but another potential application of US in clinical practice

#POS0713 #EULAR2022 Exploratory analyses from Phase 2 RCT showed numerically more patients treated with BIIB059, a BDCA2 inhibitor achieved a clear (CLASI of 0-1) and almost clear cutaneous #lupus (CLASI 0-3). Looking forward to Phase 3 results in the next few years @RheumNow https://t.co/dDbwYCx7zT

No significant difference in malignancy risk in patients with rheumatic disease and a prior history of malignancy, who started bDMARDs or tsDMARDs. Interestingly IL-17i had 0 malignancy events and CD-20i were next lowest.

JAKi for nonradiographic axSpA
One area of continued interest for many rheumatologists is the field of non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis. And the question of the utility of JAK inhibitors for the treatment of axSpA has been on the rise.

About 50% w/ #LongCOVID has persistent Sx's at 6 mos (fatigue, muscle weakness, insomnia, anxiety, depression, dyspnea). Risks: female, obesity &prior mechan ventilation. Interestingly, the pts have inc CRP levels. DLCO is low. – Prof R Mostard #EULAR2022 @rheumnow https://t.co/8jCEObjf5I

Sex differences in PsA disease expression and treatment. Treatment efficacy and retention rates lower among female PsA pts initiating first TNFi. Women presented with higher 28 TJC and PRO at baseline as well..

#POS0709 #EULAR2022 Pooled analyses of TULIP-1 & -2 RCTs showed sustained & #lupus patients spent longer time in BICLA response vs Placebo up to 52 Wks. BILAG response was sustained in MSK, skin and constitutional domains. Be interesting to see longer follow-up data @RheumNow https://t.co/kNk7WFloLf

CTD associated ILD 🫁:
lncRNA ENST00000604692 detected in PBMCs is associated with CTD-ILD and can distinguish SSc-
ILD and RA-ILD vs. non ILD patients with AUC 0.79.
As many lncRNA, unknown if biomarker only or has a pathogenic role.

B-cell depletion w/ RTX ttmt is FcγR dependant & affected by FcγRs variants 🧬
FCGR3A-158V:
*encodes the allotype ⬆️ affinity for IgG1
*is associated w/ clinical and biological responses in RA and SLE.
A new way to stratify pts for anti-CD20 therapy?
