“We’ve got to do better for our patients with GCA” - Laura Coates, doing the #ACR25 meeting review
She told us she is speaking about diseases outside her comfort zone but she is bang on.
As she said: not good enough real world all the people not on steroid-sparing Rx

Do biologics prevent PsA?
Retro cohort analysis EHR through natural language processing
5 years trends
PsO treated w/ IL-17i had lower incidence of PsA/IA than pts treated w/ IL-23i, IL-12/23i, or TNFi therapies
Adjustment on several confounding
Prospective data heavily https://t.co/W9MFaWNbWC

For PsA, can biologics prevent damage? If so, which one?
Difficult to answer often b/c confounding by indication. NLP-informed propensity matching beyond demographics for clinical factors like BSA

The DIPSA study: can diet improve PsA?
Finally a RCT, and the general message is Loose weight, regardless of the diet!

-Mediterranean diet 31pts
-Low-calorie Dietary Approaches (DASH-LC) 30pts
-Standard of care 31pts

In a U.S. axSpA cohort (n=4,799), women had a 24% higher adjusted risk of TNFi discontinuation vs men especially under age 65. No sex differences seen for IL-17i or JAKi, though sample sizes were small. Highlights need for sex-informed treatment strategies. Abstract#2634 https://t.co/58Dw3nFCsf

Sjögren’s: two Phase 3 RCTs (NEPTUNUS-1 [QM], -2 [Q3M]) test Ianalumab (BAFF/BAFF-R) vs placebo.
ΔESSDAI at 48wk: Ianalumab QM > PBO, statistically significant
But ΔESSDAI ≈ 0.5–1 pt (vs PBO) below MCII (≥ 3)
Promising biology, modest clinical gain

Sjogren’s disease: is it maybe true you need to still have some salivary function left to get benefit from therapy?
Ianalumab (BAFF inh) ph3 NEPTUNUS-1/2
Very decent on primary (ESSDAI) & we will see this
Salivary flow only improved when some at baseline
