Abst0327 #ACR22 SMART-SLE Monitoring
Some SLE patients with +dsDNA have persistent positivity, others have fluctuations
Anti-dsDNA in persistently positive HR 1.56 for flare risk
Change (up or down!) in dsDNA more than 2x prior visit for fluctuating patients: HR 1.43

Abst0326 #ACR22 Anti-Mitochondrial Ab in SLE
Whole mitochondrial (AwMA), AmtDNA or AmtRNA - higher in SLE compared to controls
AwMA predictive of death, AmtDNA and AmtRNA predictive of nephritis

Abst0328 #ACR22. Predicting UCTD to CTD Meta-Analysis
Factors for SLE transition: younger age, serositis, dsDNA
SSc transition: puffy finger, NFC, or SSc antibodies
No studies wo moderate or high risk of bias
Limited studies on biomarkers for SLE, need more studies

Is channelling bias a risk, because of treating clinicians 'protecting' pre-existing autoimmune dx pts: maybe?
Certainly in practice, these pts might get less combo immunoRx; this @mcgillu data would suggest so
Much more to understand across tumor streams

Only 4 minutes to discuss adherence in #SLE. Implementation of discussion if <80% of meds filled. Academic docs - 20/24 used + reinforcement, validated in 17 Pts, 11/24 asked open ended ?s. Pts thought it was right timing. ?does it change behaviour- ? Abst0063 @RheumNow #ACR22 https://t.co/UQbRgw5Emj

2000 IU/day vitamin D led to significantly reduced incidence of autoimmune diseases in Abs 1200 over 5.3 years, but after trial termination, protective effects dissipated and were no longer significant. #ACR22 @RheumNow https://t.co/sLwoxeCR3y https://t.co/47wpWXF1W7

Plenary:
Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2)
◦ Mediates signaling of Type I IFNs, IL-23, and IL-12
◦ Key cytokines involved in lupus pathogenesis
◦ Deucravacitinib oral TYK2 inhibitor
◦ Phase 2 RCT in SLE showed efficacy

Are preexisting autoimmune dx pts okay for
PD-1i/CTLA-4i combo immunoRx
(vs PD-1i single agent)?
Common question in practice for your rheum pts who get cancer
Combo ICI means:
de novo irAE: double risk
flares: same risk
Give our pts what they need!

Phase 2 efficacy and safety of deucravaticinib (TYK2i) in mod-severe SLE. Met primary endpoint (SRI4) for 3mg and 6mg doses (but not 12mg). No signal for HZ but increased oral herpes. Bigger numbers will be helpful.

Ab1115 #ACR22 Rx Co-Pay affects Rx Adherence in SLE
Higher copays associated w/:
💊39% lower odds of HCQ adherence
💊56% lower AZA adherence
💊32% lower MMF adherence
Need better $$ and transparency into costs. Screen for determinants of health affecting affordability!

Excllent plenary, medication copay modifies treatment adherence in SLE
>$10 copay reduced adherence for HCQ (39%), AZA (56%), MMF (32%)
Easy to imagine that all our innovation cannot overcome access & barriers
Should be priority to fix
