Does curcumin help maintain drug-free remission RA?
Answer is No
Single center RCT Curcumin vs PBO w/ MTX withdrawal
= flare-free survival
= median time to flare (219 d vs. 214 d)
Serum curcuminoid levels not asso w/ flares

⬆️ serum anti-CCP3 Ab, absence IA
👉 StopRA trial - ironically stopped🛑
❌ hydroxychloroquine not superior to PBO in preventing/ delaying IA
👉rate of conversion to RA in CCP3+ve ~35% @ 3yrs

Aim for drug free remission in early RA? After 1 yr remission Pts randomized to stop Rx vs 1/2 dose. More flares if no Rx. For 1/2 dose if 2 yrs remission randomize to stop or stay at 1/2 dose. 2X more flares if d/c Rx. Abst2013 Arctic rewind #ACR22 @rheumnow #ACRBest Relevant ? https://t.co/nfQPExhbYj

Does MTX dose matter for COVID mRNA vaccine immunogenicity in RA pts?
Single-center (n=126) with one MTX dose WH post-each vaccine

Data from CorEvitas RA registry shows persistence for first-line monotherapy with etanercept, adalimumab and JAKis no different at 12 months. 20-25% switching at 12-months. Clearly more to secondary failure than anti-drug antibodies.
