Abst#1717 confirms that early start of csDMARDs as 1st line tx & keeping ts/bDMARD as 2nd line tx (or more) is associated w/ a favorable outcome at 10 yrs in the ESPOIR cohort (a French multi-center cohort that followed patients w/ early RA). #ACR20 @RheumNow https://t.co/bzZiShCF97

This - very cool.
Not as impressive as the implanted vagal stimulation pilot data, but once a day and well tolerated. Very early days but enticing, we will see!

Wonder if you can predict development of clinical RA in those at risk either w/ a
- +RF or +CCP
- Relevant sxs w/ or w/o abs
- 1st deg relatives do RA pts?
Abst#1722 shows patterns of pain or degree of jt swelling from SPARRA Qnairre can do so. #ACR20 @RheumNow https://t.co/bQ4ZmSYhBe

Dr. Khanna NOVESA study #ACR20 Abst#L09. Autotaxin inhibitor ZIRI in early dcSSc. 21 pts ziri vs 12 PBO. mRSS at Wk24 mean difference -2.8. Ziri well-tolerated. Would be great for new drug for early SSc skin. @RheumNow. https://t.co/qpvLFsAe0x
