So are we in an era of #monotherapy with bDMARDs in #PsA? Ustekinumab & Secukinumab not different w or without #MTX. Abst#L12 @RheumNow #ACR21 https://t.co/Zp5owTpLvm

Important late breaker @TerrierBen, DBRCT of RTX vs GC (FFS=0) or CYC (FFS>0) for EGPA
RTX not superior to CYC (64% RTX vs 60% CYC BVAS remission d180, p = 0.745); similar in subgroups
Feel like this lends support to (~surprising) ACR/VF recs for EGPA?

#ACR21 L19: TitAIN: Secukinumab for GCA
⭐️Phase 2 study with n=52
⭐️70% of SEC sustained remission at wk 28 vs 20% PBO, 59% at week 52 vs 8%
⬇️Cumulative prednisolone through wk 52 (2.8g v 3.4g)
- Looking forward to larger study

Racial disparities & Co-morbidities in PsA findings. Amongst important others, increased biologic use in Caucasians w/ PsA vs DMARDs in black PsA pts. View Abs 1780 for other relevant findings. #ACR21 #RheumNow #ACRbest @RheumNow https://t.co/0uKsa8i0bG https://t.co/R9YkxYqXws

b/tsDMARDs + tumor response in rheum irAEs
Excellent point by @CCalabreseDO @LCalabreseDO:
- despite progression in 5/10, DMARD contribution uncertain (bad cancer)
- without DMARD, ICI would have had to stop
crucial question, prospective study needed

For patients with inflammatory irAEs, what's your preference of bDMARD/tsDMARD?
(keeping in mind both irAE response and tumor response)
