Mavrilimumab (anti GM-CSF receptor α Mab) efficacious in maintaining disease remission in GCA pts.
Phase 2 trial (n=70)
1⃣Disease flare 19% in tx vs. 46% in PBO at 26wk
2⃣Sustained remission 83% vs. 50% in PBO
3⃣Similar AE in both groups

@RheumNow #ACR20 Abs L08 Prospective 4 year PROBE trial of Febuxostat vs allopurinol long term CV safety: febuxostat was not associated w/increased risk of death compared w/allopurinol. 222 (7·2%) pts died in the febuxostat group compared to 263 (8·6%) in the allopurinol group

Abst#1717 confirms that early start of csDMARDs as 1st line tx & keeping ts/bDMARD as 2nd line tx (or more) is associated w/ a favorable outcome at 10 yrs in the ESPOIR cohort (a French multi-center cohort that followed patients w/ early RA). #ACR20 @RheumNow https://t.co/bzZiShCF97

This - very cool.
Not as impressive as the implanted vagal stimulation pilot data, but once a day and well tolerated. Very early days but enticing, we will see!

Wonder if you can predict development of clinical RA in those at risk either w/ a
- +RF or +CCP
- Relevant sxs w/ or w/o abs
- 1st deg relatives do RA pts?
Abst#1722 shows patterns of pain or degree of jt swelling from SPARRA Qnairre can do so. #ACR20 @RheumNow https://t.co/bQ4ZmSYhBe

Dr. Khanna NOVESA study #ACR20 Abst#L09. Autotaxin inhibitor ZIRI in early dcSSc. 21 pts ziri vs 12 PBO. mRSS at Wk24 mean difference -2.8. Ziri well-tolerated. Would be great for new drug for early SSc skin. @RheumNow. https://t.co/qpvLFsAe0x

FAST trial: allopurinol vs febuxostat on safety
(for gout pts on allopurinol, with ≥1 CV RF, TTT dosing)
febuxostat non-inferior for CV events
Well, that's a relief.
gout flare similar, good follow-up, colchicine did not influence
out in Lancet today?

RITAZAREM trial long-term follow-up
-RTX vs AZA after RTX-induced remission in ANCA #vasculitis
-RTX superior to AZA to prevent relapse
-Relapse common regardless of therapy; high-dose RTX not effective beyond treatment period

@SSNaushon MTX remains backbone of therapy given low cost, safety profile, and long experience with it. Majority of pts do well on MTX and do not require TNFi @Rheumnow.

Interesting Swedish abstract 1997 at #ACR20. Adjuvant #herpeszoster vaccine (Shingrix) not effective for 25% of JAKi-treated RA pts (n=40) for antibody response (T cell response usually worse, not reported). Is better than nothing good enough? Maybe we need to hold JAKi briefly?

L06: Mavrilimumab in #GCA
⭐️Efficacy and safety of MAV maintaining sustained remission 26w new and relapsing/ref #GCA
Flare risk ➡️ 62% risk ⬇️ of flare w/ MAV
Sustained remission➡️ 33% ⬆️ in MAV
No diff in new or relapsing/ref pts,
No diff in AE
