Is it time to change RA EULAR guidelines to reflect what we do? SEAM RCT showed withdrawal of MTX better than D/C etanercept in controlled RA. ETN alone =ETN+MTX. I vote to d/c the Rx that failed or by pt preference! Abstr#939 @RheumNow #ACR20 https://t.co/l9TNM3Gt0e

Poll results are in... most chose upadacitinib followed by tofacitinib as their Jak-i of choice if insurance approval was not a factor in those that failed a bDMARD and remain on a cDMARD with high dz activity! @RheumNow @LCalabreseDO @ElaineHusniMD #ACR20 https://t.co/rl1nTqxzKg

Dr Curtis presents SEAM-RA RCT of withdrawal of ETN or MTX in patients on combo therapy in sustained remission. 49.5% of ETN mono retained remission compared to 28.7% of MTX mono, and 52.9% who continued combo therapy. @rheumnow #ACR20 Abstr#939 #ACRbest https://t.co/wpAtBHJYUF
