Screening for CA in IIM:
Low risk:
* CXR, age approp CA screen
Intmdt risk:
* CT c/a/p, tm mrkrs (CA125♀️, PSA♂️), pelvic US, colo <50yo, mammo <50>75)
Hi risk (?annually):
* whole body PET-CT
When?
Annual x hi risk?

Late breaking, but just in time! mRNA COVID-19 3rd dose in RTX pts, w/o Ab response post initial series. After 3rd dose many had ab response or T cell response.
Extra vaccine full doses can protect RTX pts from COVID! AbsL17 #ACRbest #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/lIDPzybmT7 https://t.co/jEJ3N6cdjK

Important late breaker @TerrierBen, DBRCT of RTX vs GC (FFS=0) or CYC (FFS>0) for EGPA
RTX not superior to CYC (64% RTX vs 60% CYC BVAS remission d180, p = 0.745); similar in subgroups
Feel like this lends support to (~surprising) ACR/VF recs for EGPA?

#ACR21 L19: TitAIN: Secukinumab for GCA
⭐️Phase 2 study with n=52
⭐️70% of SEC sustained remission at wk 28 vs 20% PBO, 59% at week 52 vs 8%
⬇️Cumulative prednisolone through wk 52 (2.8g v 3.4g)
- Looking forward to larger study

IL-17i for GCA? TitAIN study met all endpoints!
phase II: 52 pt DBRPCT 1:1 for 52 weeks secukinumab vs PCB
👉effective sustained remission
👉longer time to GCA flare
👉lower dose of steroids by week 52
👉no increase in AEs

Increased age at PSO diagnosis was significantly associated with shorter transition time between PSO and PsA diagnoses. No other variables, including BSA, were associated with time to transition @RheumNow #ACR21 Abst#1798 https://t.co/fLPBHKAMAc

Secukinumab in GCA, phase 2 (TitAIN):
I can't deny this is promising, but phase 2 needs to be
interesting both arms did worse than equivalents in GiACTA, TCZ phase 2 (?looser flare def)

#ACR21 L20- Anti-IFN Ab Emapalumab for MAS/sJIA
⭐️⬆️IFN in models of HLH/MAS, neutralization may be helpful
⭐️Pilot study in 14 pts w inadequate response to high-dose IV GC
⭐️Ok to continue IL1i
▶️13/14 pts remission
▶️ SAEs: 1 CMV reactivation

I am still obsessed with the name MAGIC syndrome -mouth and genital ulcers with inflamed cartilage!!
14% of patients with relapsing polychondritis have this! They also have features of aortitis, Raynaud's phenomenon and anticollagen II antibodies @rheumnow #ACR21 abt#1876 https://t.co/UlQUZlBPfx

Having an auto-inflammatory disease specialist available via telemedicine/video for near home providers for pts. Well received by primary care, pediatricians and internal medicine physicians. Will improve the care of auto inflammatory patients! #ACR21 @rheumnow #abt1062

#ACR21 #AbstrL20 A promising new player on the block. A single-arm study of 14 pts with sJIA-associated MAS, Emapalumab (anti-IFNγ) induced remission in all pts with median 25 days, neutralised CXCL9 and allowed rapid steroid reduction @RheumNow #ACRBest https://t.co/7tnaS5tPJ0 https://t.co/G1IoFxLQoX
