No clear excess risk for offspring exposed in-utero to, VED or TNFi's. UST showed infection signal BUT w/ wide CIs. We need more research re: biologics and placental transmission potential/subsequent risks. Abs 1713 #ACR21 #RheumNow #ACRbest @RheumNow https://t.co/W3K5uDyHlC

b/tsDMARDs + tumor response in rheum irAEs Excellent point by @CCalabreseDO @LCalabreseDO: - despite progression in 5/10, DMARD contribution uncertain (bad cancer) - without DMARD, ICI would have had to stop crucial question, prospective study needed #ACR21 ABST1519 @RheumNow https://t.co/omJnTNVscH

Autoantibodies are underrated in rheumatic irAEs (?B cells in general), but probably not your usual. If Ab are of interest, suspect we're going to have to look at non-classical ones Elegant from @NilashaGhosh @MPostow @got_rheum @lovetolearn27 #ACR21 ABST1520 ABST1521 @RheumNow https://t.co/tLSJOZw1YG

We may be getting a new urate lowering therapy. Tigulixostat is a non-purine selective xanthine oxidase inhibitor. Nothing worrying on safety. But I think febuxostat is probably more effective than this? Abstr#L05 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/Lg0slMlah2

How do RA pts go with ICI cancer therapy? @VUMCRheum audit reflects overall prev experience: - approx 50% flare (?some reflect DMARD W/H) - flares overwhelmingly managable - few (1/19 here) cease ICI due to RA flare RA pts deserve best cancer Rx too!! #ACR21 ABST1523 @RheumNow

Advantages of treat to target (of serum urate) beyond less gout flares? Maybe equal to ⬇️MACE events - I hope in long term less MACE due to less ⬆️CRP w flares.
