We are truly blessed to live in an era when response to RA treatment is the norm.

tofa/bari in RA H2H vs TNFi comparative efficacy studies highlighted (more head-to-head studies please!) @karolinskainst OP0122 #EULAR2021 @RheumNow (also Swedish national registry data showed tofa/bari comparable to non-TNFi bDMARDs, but no photos allowed!) https://t.co/CUWlK2O94h

VTE/VZV in baricitinib & tofacitinib seem unrelated to on-target effects.
Is there VTE/VZV-related off-target culpable binding?
Computer (AI) says no, but...
bari binds PDE10A2 (an antipsychotic target), lab confirmed. Missing link to reduced pain?

Each line is a different country's JAK inhibitor for RA registry, looking at drug stopped for adverse events.
Why all the variation?
(Until we sort that out, we'll struggle to assess JAKi post-marketing safety...)

I have always thought we named nr-axSPA wrongly - Tends to trivialise its gravity and importance
Shouldn’t it be our goal to diagnose all SpA at the nr-axSPA stage

#EULAR2021: AxSpA patients with greater patient-reported pain and spinal pain relative to axPsA patients among real-world patients in CorEVitas' Psa/Spa observational Registry per Dr. Mease's oral abstract presentation. @RheumNow https://t.co/YEdhd7x6cb

#EULAR2021 - Key points from Dr. Mease's oral abstract:
⭐️AxSpA pts were younger & more likely to be male & have a hx of uveitis & IBD
⭐️AxSpA pts had less exposure to prior therapies relative to axPsA pts
⭐️AxSpA assoc w/ > spinal pain regardless of b/tsDMARD status

#EULAR2021: AxSpA patients more likely to experience IBD and uveitis whereas axPsA more likely to experience dactylitis and enthesitis per Dr. Philip Mease's study among real-world patients in CorEVitas' Psa/Spa Registry.

#EULAR2021: SpA pts w/ predominant axial phenotype tended to be HLAB27+ & have uveitis whereas those w/ predom peripheral phenotype tended to have arthritis, dactylitis, or psoriasis & fit a clinical dx of axSpA & psSpa (incl psA) respectively per this observat study. @RheumNow https://t.co/E5UTbc6Sqb

#OP0089 Do you know the pain catastrophizing score #PCS ? Cross-sectional study of 1199 #RA, #PsA & #ax-SpA patients: Low PCS were more often in remission as high PCS in RA & ax-SpA. PCS was associated with remission rates in RA and ax-SpA, but not in PsA #EULAR2021 @RheumNow https://t.co/MYiLmPPbDN

#EULAR2021: In India, some of the JAKi are costing less than $30/mo per a EULAR participant! Dr. Filip van den Bosch does not recommend using tofacitinib as a diagnostic tool for SpA over NSAIDs even if it is so cheap. @RheumNow

#EULAR2021: Reduced likelihood of reaching disease remission in patients with RA or PsA who have concomitant depression and anxiety per prospective NOR-DMARD study. Social state and mental health factors play an important role in noresponse in T2T approach. @RheumNow https://t.co/Vl0Xkz2SNF
