#ACR25 Abstr#LB23 Phase 1 trial in 5 refractory #RA of SBT777101, a novel autologous CAR-Treg (without the need for lymphodepletion) showed promising efficacy and safety signal. No DLT, CRS or ICANS. Looking forward to larger data and in other RMDs @RheumNow https://t.co/YyGMSHjA3z

#ACR25 Abstr#LB20 At EULAR, data for Phase 3 RCT of Deucravacitinib, Tyk2-i in active #PsA showed ACR20 was met at WK16. Here, data showed sustained response through WK 52 across core domains inc. those who switched PBO->DEU. No major safety assoc. with JAK-i.A few acne @RheumNow https://t.co/tmzQMOtjev

Questions #ACR25 LB20 to Paul Emery on rosnilimab:
Fleischmann: could be induction therapy? (Not intent, but could be)
Choy: Depth of changes with translational data
Tanaka: Safety given peresolimab ph2b here (diff epitope, membrane proximity, targeted depletion PD-1hi)

PD-1 agonist as an induction therapy in refractory RA??
Rosnilimab ph2b:
- still responding 3mo after Rx stopped
- no difference between type of prior b/tsDMARD failure
- safety here looks good *so far*
A lot of cautious excitement in the room for this

A new approach in RA:
Rosnilimab targets & depletes PD-1–high pathogenic T cells, acting upstream of cytokine pathways. In Ph2b, all doses improved DAS28-CRP & ACR responses vs placebo, with durable efficacy & good safety.

#ACR25 Abstr#LB19 New T-cell therapy on the block! In Phase 2b RCT of #RA (~50% b/tsDMARD-IR), Rosnilimab, PD-1 agonist met its endpoint (DAS28-CRP) at WK12. Effective despite type of previous therapy. No safety concern/malignancy/death. To proceed to Phase 3 @RheumNow #ACRBest https://t.co/MecTYMpH0o

#ACR25 Abstr#LB14 Promising therapy BMS-986353, a CD19 CAR-T in Severe Refractory Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies. 11/12 had evaluable data; muscle, skin and ILD improved. 1 x G2 CRS, 1 G3 ICANS. Longer FU needed and larger sample @RheumNow https://t.co/zAG23tAsbL

We often see patients with MTX lab abnormalities but How frequent is MTX toxicity?
Retrospective study 2500pts
Rochester Epidemiology Project cohort
60% w/ ever lab abnormalities, but 4% attributed to MTX 0.87/100 patient year
Organ injury event 0.02/100 patient year = 5 in https://t.co/w8oYUjj5Yp

DMARD exposure overall during pregnancy is not associated with severe maternal or neonatal morbidity, in this Ontario cohort.
We’re getting better at finding a balance with DMARDs that is safe for both mother and baby. Blanket resistance is harmful

What's new in sjogren's?
Promising phase III data of telitacicept (dual BLyS + APRIL neutralization)
Pt in both dosing groups with decrease in ESSDAI compared to PBO but best results at higher (160mg) dose
Similar rates of adverse events

There’s all sorts of products out there. Who knows, ‘Reuma King’ or ‘Contra Reumas’ might do something, but that’s probably all the fraudulent hidden dexamethasone inside…

@RheumNow Plus a heap more biosimilars have broken through in the US in the last year. It feels the biosimilar era is now here stateside, too.

@RheumNow Obinutuzumab for lupus nephritis was a very recent FDA addition two weeks ago, and we’ll play catch-up with the hematologists to get familiar with it, including its safety profile
