@jhrheumatology Dr. Petri - if Lupus nephritis biopsy is very active start a dual therapy with MMF right away.
▶️ If not, continue to re-evaluate at 3 and 6 months for early combo therapy

How can we tell whether a patient already on rituximab will have an immunogenic response to Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination?
Better chance of response if:
- RA or SLE, not AAV or IIM
- high serum IgG pre-last RTX
- longer time since last RTX

Either we need to review the Yearly PAP cervical screening in SLE women or work hard to improve patient awareness. Suspect the latter as time between tests was over 4 years late 😱 and 2.7% developed cancer #ACR21 #Abstr0133 @RheumNow https://t.co/wm01MfoFjf https://t.co/blD8WafZsE

Dr. Cush reviews the news, and kicks off ACR21 learning and how to take in the annual meeting.
Since the start of the pandemic, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) was forced into the limelight for the prevention/treatment of COVID-19. When it was found to be ineffective for COVID-19 and might cause potential harm, the drug came under closer scrutiny for its safety profile.
The pharmaceutical companies will feature the results of their pivotal clinical trials and data analyses at ACR Convergence 2021. Below is a listing of some of their best studies for you to review and look for in the meeting. Often these become the pivotal studies for regulatory approval and the annual congresses are their first look.
