ASCORE: Seropositivity Favors Abatacept Drug Survival

Jack Cush, MD

ANCA vasculitis guidelines make sense. Less use of cyclophosphamide was already the case, rituximab can be for induction & maintenance, I am reluctant though in severe disease to stop maintenance Rx at 1 or 2 yrs and go longer as at least 1/3 will relapse beyond 2 yrs. @RheumNow https://t.co/3xRHWya2Uq

Chen et al. Adalimumab biosimilar (Amgevita) in JIA. Not a switch study, these are initiators. Expected efficacy and safety outcomes of adalimumab seen here. Good to see more of these data to try and break down the last barriers to biosimilars @RheumNow #EULAR2022 POS1294 https://t.co/yoM2dIXLDQ

Have always been fascinated by the idea that some b/tsDMARDs might have effects on pain and fatigue beyond inflammation control. Baricitinib data in RA before, & now this from guselkumab. Substantial effect on pain beyond SJC/CRP attributable? POS1030 #EULAR2022 #IL23 @RheumNow https://t.co/fxqIGnlkwU

NORD-STAR substudy looking at anticoagulant effects. Important as RA assoc. ⬆️DVT/PE. DMARDs improve haemostatic imbalance, with bDMARDs stronger effect than csDMARD (may relate to better disease control with this) @RheumNow #EULAR2022 OP0059 https://t.co/TKwAZMOZjY https://t.co/IazrfD7z7k

After the #EULAR2022 Recommendations session, it begs the question - Do we follow it? In Germany, the answer is sometimes Early bDMARD or JAKi is more frequent in recent years. 1/3 of patients did not receive recommended treatment escalation after 1st csDMARD POS0234 @Rheumnow https://t.co/0DaP5b7Htc

To TDM or Not in Rheumatology? Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM), especially for biologic therapies, has become a standard in gastroenterology, but shunned by most rheumatologists. But now, EULAR has a recommendation... https://t.co/u86Vd8bFGr #MedEdTwitter https://t.co/IpKqPoWM9R
