EULAR Points to consider for the definition of #D2M #Psoriatic_Arthritis
1️⃣ Failure >= 2 b/tsDMARDs with >=2 different MOA
2️⃣ Perceived as problematic
3️⃣ Evidence of persistent disease (active disease, EMM, inflammation)

@RheumNow When it comes to ORAL Surveillance and the 2025 EULAR recommendations, the same sensibility remains.
Appropriate caution based on the RCT, despite observational data, but we’ll see what is yet to come. Plenty to watch this space for

Deucravacitinib, the first oral TYK2 inhibitor, delivers in PsA:
✅ ACR20: 54% vs 34% (placebo)
✅ Skin, joints, fatigue, QoL
📉 Post hoc: less radiographic progression
No new safety signals at W16.

📊 In POETYK PsA-1, deucravacitinib (TYK2i) significantly improved ACR20 at W16 (54% vs 34% placebo) in bDMARD-naive PsA.
Also improved QoL, skin, and MSK outcomes.
Post hoc: slowed radiographic progression.
Well tolerated & no new safety signals

📱 Axia, a digital therapeutic for #axSpa, led to significant improvements in BASDAI, BASFI & ASQoL in a 12-week RCT.
ASAS20: 51% vs 9%; ASAS40: 23% vs 3%.
Promising app-based intervention comprising individualised exercise, pt education & disease Mx.

from Rituximab to BiTES to CAR T, always looking for deeper B cell depletion
Safety data from CC312 CD19/CD3/CD28, a triple engager in refractory moderate-to-severe SLE
So far so good but how far do we need to go?

Older adults with chronic MSK pain report lower physical health—but better mental health—than younger peers.
Fewer missed work days, too.
Is this resilience, adaptation, or shifting expectations with age?

Presenteeism and absenteeism in RA aren’t just about joints. In this UK study, comorbid anxiety, depression, and OA drove lost productivity.
Treating RA is not enough —holistic management matters.

🫁 In autoimmune ILD patients from FIBRONEER-ILD (n=325), nerandomilast slowed FVC decline vs placebo and reduced risk of ILD progression events (HR 0.56 for 18 mg BID).
Acceptable safety profile & tolerability.

Self-management of rheum disease is ripe for apps, gamification. How well does it work though?
This app (Axia) in axSpA was basically as good as a biologic.
Maybe you downplay non-pharm management, prob because we don’t do it well. This changes that
