Evaluate effectiveness and Rx survival of different TNFI in cohort of axSpA
⭐️No difference among different TNFI
⭐️No difference between nr-axSpA and AS
⭐️Failure to initial TNFI did not diminish effectiveness or drug survival of subsequent TNFi Rx

Abst0897 #ACR21 @RheumNow radiographic progression in AS accelerates w/age, highest at age 30–39 (mean mSASSS change per year 1.148), followed by 40–49 , 20–29,≥50 & least < 20 (0.643). radiographic damage rapidly ⬆️ among 20s w/risk factors:⬆️ CRP &preexisting syndesmophytes https://t.co/tiAgKUyjJq

Googling rheumatic diseases. On average google search lacked essential information to guide patient decisions. Websites on AS scored the highest on the DISCERN and RA scored the highest on JAMA @RheumNow #ACR21 Abst#0742 https://t.co/k2o2AqYEeh https://t.co/ZKljvA2f4O

Factors associated with Anti Drug Ab against TNFi over 2-y in axSpA pts are:
⭐️ 🔼 Disease activity
⭐️Development of adverse events
⭐️Treatment discontinuation

Physician global score was the strongest predictor of future flares in AS patients with TNFi dose tapering. 29 (27%) flared at 2/3 of standard
dose, 21 (20%) at 1/2 dose, 29 (27%) at 1/3 dose and 27 (25%) after discontinuation @RheumNow #ACR21 Abst#0929 https://t.co/pIzLgexe3k https://t.co/UM9cGLiYl7

SKIPPAIN results: Spinal pain response after 8 weeks of SEC showed notable differences between HLA-B27 subgroups. Can subtype pre-determine tx efficacy/response? Abs 0917 #ACR21 #RheumNow @RheumNow https://t.co/FKpCqXpobM https://t.co/WbjjyTIaiG

GO-ALIVE study by Prof ADeodhar & grp
🔘IV GOL was shown to be effective across all efficacy outcomes in AS pts w/ early & late dse
🔘⬆proportions of pts w/ early dse achieved BASDAI50 and ASDAS inactive dse
Early dx and tx 👉better outcomes

Physician global score only predictor of axSpA flares when tapering TNFi
⭐️Changes in imaging did not predict flare

French real-world AxSpA cohort analysis showed drug retention of SEC & TNFi were similar. In subgroups analyses, age, BASDAI at dx & BMI were similar. Abs 0911 #ACR21 #RheumNow @RheumNow https://t.co/ewtmpxKTNu https://t.co/Yh0nX3x83Z

Although baseline dz was similar in axSpA males/females, study found male pts had more improvements in ASDAS-CRP, CRP, and PGA than females in 6 years of follow-up. Abs 0620 #ACR21 #RheumNow @RheumNow https://t.co/Qr657YeniA https://t.co/35t4oIUSmS

An ongoing axSpA cohort in Netherlands study assessed the rate of progression of nr-axSpA to AS patients over a 6 y period
Every 2 y approximately 10% of patients progressed from nr-axSpA to AS

Getting closer to personalised medicine in AS, ECM-mediated biomarkers may help predict response to Adalimumab in AS. The biomarkers C1M, C6M and
PRO-C4 were lower in responders to adalimumab treatment after 24 weeks @RheumNow #ACR21 Abst#0915 https://t.co/K2YxPvUAwu https://t.co/w9kcBSFeG9

Interesting study. 79 nr-axSpA pts observed for 6 years. Every 2 yrs approximately 10% of pts progressed from nr-axSpA to AS! Next step: evaluate dz characteristics and determine potential at risk pts. Abs 0907 #ACR21 #RheumNow @RheumNow https://t.co/aRjXWjkVKg https://t.co/BiHFgDR8Kv
