The case for starting combo Rx for LN (rather than sequential Rx):
👉Aurora trial: voclosporin + MMF (vs. MMF only) prompt efficacy on proteinuria across all ethnic subgroups, twice more complete renal response , no major safety signals. slide 1/ #EULAR2021 @rheumnow https://t.co/TA5i9ITuL7

#Digital #rheumatology in the era of #COVID-19: evidently increasing inclination of patients and physicians to use digital health apps for recording data- as informed by a national survey by @JK77775 and colleagues #EULAR2021 @ARD_BMJ https://t.co/Uo60qZurhG

So it comes down to the grand question: how on earth do we actually monitor disease activity??
"We still don't have a failsafe algorithm... relapse is both underdiagnosed & overdiagnosed" - @Sarah_L_Mackie
The challenge lots of good people are working on!

Patients selected to maximise response & minimise adverse events in RA & PsA trials.
What implications does this have when we interpret the data & try to apply in clinic?

Placebo response in PsA trials have more than doubled in last decade.
Due to patient characteristics, patient expectations?
Makes it very difficult to compare between trials
