Hitting the home stretch, day 3 presentations were big! Here are a few of my favorites: secukinumab efficacy in juvenile PsA; VEXAS - predicting poor outcomes; and the FDA Safety Update session.

Having an auto-inflammatory disease specialist available via telemedicine/video for near home providers for pts. Well received by primary care, pediatricians and internal medicine physicians. Will improve the care of auto inflammatory patients! #ACR21 @rheumnow #abt1062

#ACR21 #AbstrL20 A promising new player on the block. A single-arm study of 14 pts with sJIA-associated MAS, Emapalumab (anti-IFNγ) induced remission in all pts with median 25 days, neutralised CXCL9 and allowed rapid steroid reduction @RheumNow #ACRBest https://t.co/7tnaS5tPJ0 https://t.co/G1IoFxLQoX

Emapalumab (IFNg inhibitor) Effective in severe MAS (Ferritin 25K, failed anakinra, GC)- 14 pts (2-25 yrs; 4/14 sJIA)-13/14 remission, w rapid drops in CXCL9, Ferritin, ALT, DDimers & GC dose #ACR21 ABst LB20 https://t.co/05oW5C8Waf https://t.co/ecEkt3MY83
Vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic syndrome (VEXAS) took the centre stage when it was first introduced at ACR20 last year. It got everyone’s thinking that they might have encountered one or two patients in their rheumatology lifetime who might have this condition. One year on, more cases have been reported and this article summarises some breakthroughs pertaining to research in VEXAS.
Traditionally telemedicine is thought to be a technology where a patient directly talks to a provider or a specialist; however, another concept of having a patient with a local primary care who in turn accesses specialists via video conferencing, is gaining some momentum.
