How do we treat fatigue in our PsA patients? Guselkumab PsA trials showed systemic disease activity/function, joint manifestations, and skin involvement accounted for 62% of variability in fatigue. How do we account for the other 38%?

Early RA - does the biologic matter?
NORD-STAR: largely seropos, high CRP early RA
Perhaps unsurprising abatacept shone vs TNFi or TCZ
One of the few pt subgroups with plausible rationale & some data for comparative advantage. Shame it’s less & less common?

Combined Nordic registry data on demyelination and inflammatory neuropathy with TNFi. Demyelination 2-3 times higher in SpA vs RA. No difference between ETN and monoclonals. @RheumNow #EULAR2022 OP0060 https://t.co/SK9s7aVaZk https://t.co/hZ5VaoTe4X

#ClinicalPearl Update on @eular #rheumatoid #arthritis guidelines. Reassuringly not much of an update. Very reasonable discussion of #JAKi safety. @RheumNow Day 1 of #EULAR202 T2T, shared decision making, limit #glucocorticoids to shortest time. Change MOA or not, after failure.

#POS0190 #EULAR2022 Disappointing news. Despite +ve Phase 2 RCT, Results from Phase 3 RCTs of Baricitinib in #lupus is inconclusive
💠SRI4 was met in BRAVE1 but not BRAVE2 despite identical study
💠BILAG MSK & Skin improved in BRAVE1 only
BICLA wasn’t reported @RheumNow https://t.co/IfJRYEwFY8

Combined nordic registers study: 🧠 demyelinating and inflammatory neuropathies in 50000+ patients starting TNFi
📍DML SpA > RA
📍INP SpA = RA
📍ETA = Other anti TNFi
But no csDMARDs control group

The amazing @SuAnnYeoh1 oral presentation showing terminally differentiated T effector memory re-expressing CD45RA are associated persistent disease activity in TNF non-responders (but not other bDMARDs) ?role in driving disease @RheumNow #EULAR2022 OP0011 https://t.co/OFradjuGvo https://t.co/flpFmcvixO

Dr Fabian Proft @ProftDr present CONSUL open label RCT of effect of adding NSAIDS to TNFi on structural outcomes. Bottom line, no significant difference in mSASSS. However new syndesmophytes in 11% vs 25%. @RheumNow #EULAR2022 OP0018 https://t.co/OcYH6oKbJQ https://t.co/kxH5vUdibe

178,000 cells from knee synovium studied to eval diff in RA vs PsA transcriptomes. With RA:
👉synov Tcells ⬆️TGFB1 express'n
👉⬆️FAP+ THY1+ synovial fibroblasts
👉receptor ligand network➡️synovial T cell & macrophage synergy
👉IL-1b & TGFb synergy #EULAR2022 OP0067 @rheumnow https://t.co/0uaFyqZqBg

#Plenary OP0066. Consider Whipple Dz in pts inflammatory rheum dz Screen with PCR saliva/stool samples, confirm with duodenal bx or PCR on joint fluid. pts on doxycycline and HCQ can lead to rapid remission. @rheumnow https://t.co/VcGp8pr3dT

NORD-STAR substudy looking at anticoagulant effects. Important as RA assoc. ⬆️DVT/PE. DMARDs improve haemostatic imbalance, with bDMARDs stronger effect than csDMARD (may relate to better disease control with this) @RheumNow #EULAR2022 OP0059 https://t.co/TKwAZMOZjY https://t.co/IazrfD7z7k

#POS0186 #EULAR2022 AURORA2 (Extension of original RCT to 2 years) showed:
💠#lupus nephritis patients on voclosporin maintained meaningful low uPCR and stability of eGFR at 2yrs
💠No unexpected safety signals

NORD-STAR TRIAL drug does better in ttmt naive eRA? 48wks
CDAI remission ▶️ w/ ABA and CERTO PEG vs. MTX+ GCs while TCZ not stat ▶️.
Is the difference clinically sufficient to recommend these in first intention over MTX ? not convinced 🧐

Incident depression is critical RA co-morbidity!
🚨>6x risk of death in 10 year follow-up🚨
Depression defined as 1st filling of anti-depressants
▶️Bias likely contributes, esp including neuropathic medications such as duloxetine, but data is staggering

Screen for depression in RA patients!
From the #DANBIO registry of 11,000 pts, they found
6X ⬆️mortality in pts w/#RA and #depression . The mortality curve separates early. #Plenary OP0067 @rheumnow #EULAR2022 https://t.co/qfjyejGVzQ
