Safety profile of #upadacitinib in #RA, #PsA, #AnkylosingSpondylitis
👉🏼AE rates similar across UPA, ADA & MTX in RA, and UPA & ADA in PsA
👉🏼No new safety risks with long-term use
👉🏼#Herpeszoster & incr CPK more common w/ UPA vs ADA/MTX

For Dr @LianneGensler managing axSpA requires a sundae🍨approach! How cool is that?!😎
This means that we need to take a holistic approach on the management of axSpA - both non/pharmacologic & there's no one magic pill to treat the disease.

Uveitis is the most frequent extra-musculoskeletal manifestation (EAM) in Axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA). The prevalence of uveitis in axSpA is between 25-30%. Up to 50% of patients with an acute episode of uveitis develop recurrent anterior uveitis or iritis. Being such a prevalent EAM in axSpA, we should focus on this condition. There have been some updates on uveitis in SpA at #ACR21 which I will share here.

Findings:

2. Stong predictors of unemployment were - Male sex and worse disease activity outcome measures(BASMI and ASQoL)

Abst#0364 by Wetterslev et al. sought to identify axSpA characteristics of patients tapered off TNFI and showed clinical and radiographic improvement.
🔽52% were tapered off
⭐️The highest predictor of success is a low physician global VAS score

⭐️AxSpA pts with decrease in oral microbial diversity
⭐️Immune response to oral/fecal microbes altered in AxSpA pts.
⭐️HLA-B27 associated ⬆️IgA coated microbes, may contribute to development of AxSpA

Year 2 f/u on PsA, axSpA, or RA using CT-P13, an infliximab (IFX) biosimilar. Pts either naive to IFX or switched from IFX:
💠IFX-naive: improved disease activity
💠IFX-switched: maintained stable disease
💠No new safety concerns
