Can we taper IV belimumab in #SLE? Dr Fredi reported 14/48 (29%) extended tx to at least 5-weekly after 12mo of tx. No worsening C3/C4 & PGA but interestingly #steroid and SLEDAI ⬇️. More works needed to identify suitable pts for taper and regime #EULAR2021 #POS0107 @RheumNow https://t.co/Gwe7mPWPdY

In a UK 🇬🇧 study of newly diagnosed #SLE, Dr Yee reported higher damage in the first 3yrs but then stabilised. Death rate in the first 12yrs had improved to 4.8% (mostly heart disease and infection) but could still occur early (within 5yr diagnosis) #EULAR2021 #POS0111 @RheumNow

In patients with #SLE who attained LLDAS, a retrospective cohort study by Dr Cunha identified predictors of flares including anti-RNP +ve, concomitant immunosuppressant and oral prednisolone. Important to account these during follow-up #EULAR2021 #POS0105 @RheumNow

Promising preclinical data of novel dual BAFF/APRIL inihibitor ALPN-303 re:efficacy & immunomodulatory activity vs TACI-i. Could deplete plasma cell compared to anti-CD20 mAbs in #SLE.
