IL-17 inhibitors are an effective therapeutic for a broad spectrum of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases and its blockade has revolutionized management of diseases such as psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and SpA. Is there a need for more medications within the same therapeutic class?

Social Determinants of Health in SLE
EurekAlert!
Social determinants of health (SDH), such as socioeconomic status and educational background are factors that are increasingly recognised as critical contributors to health outcomes in chronic diseases.

Very pleased to present at #EULAR2025 work @ArthritisAust on consumer involvement into research.
Consumer involvement in research delivers:
- better, more relevant research
- better dissemination of results
- competitiveness in today’s funding landscape

Maybe the pathogenesis gives us a clue on how to target things?
Possibly the treatments which take down synovitis might not always help with nodules

What is new in SpA?
‼️nomenclature change:
🚫AS≠ Ankylosing spondylitis
✅AS= Axial spondyloarthritis
-Helena Marzo-Ortega at #EULAR2025
@RheumNow
Delay hurts.
Dx delay in axial SpA costs UK £3.1 billion annually.
Avg time to dx = 8.5 yrs
Avg dx cost = £187k/person
Fixing delay could save £167k/person.
Early Dx isn’t just better care—it’s economic policy.

Diagnostic delay in #SpA
🔹️Data from the @Official_ASAS
Study
🔹️4339 patients
🔹️Delay was 6.6 years
🔹️Longer in axSpA and IBD-SpA, shorter in PsA and pSpA
🔹️Associated with type of initial symptoms (shorter in peripheral)

Is RA just one disease?
No, & increasingly more efforts to subgroup RA on diff levels
Simple approach - derived phenotypes map (independent of ACPA):
- to broad histopath
- to MTX response
Omics is good, but still need to do the simple stuff better!

The great debate: are cannabis and cannabinoids a valid treatment option in patients with rheumatic diseases?

Interesting debate today #EULAR2025 about medical cannabis - where relative harms have come up.
Would you rather be addicted to prescription opioids or recreational cannabis?
(not going to argue about cannabis addiction - let’s say social impact is equal)

So we used to get taught about bimodal age distribution of RA onset - young people and old people.
Actually, it’s early middle age where RA diagnoses have now grown globally over 30y - right in peak productivity
