#ACR21 Abs#1224. ⬇️ CD39 expression on B cell predicts occurrence of anti-drug Ab in RA on RTX
⭐️13/23 pts on RTX became ADAb+. No diff in concomitant MTX usage
⭐️Baseline CD73 similar, but lower CD39 predictive of ADAb

Great talk by @saadhealth #ACR21 & interesting to compare myocarditis irAEs to inflamm arthritis irAEs:
similar:
- importance of confirming dx well
- cautious adoption steroid-sparing Rx
different:
- clear benefit hard/early Rx
- dx metrics aided by tech

NORD-STAR Trial: outcomes in tx-naïve, early RA pts after 48w of csDMARDs+GC vs bDMARD (ABAtacept, CerToliZumab, or ToCiluZumab)+MTX
➡️ Superior CDAI remission rates w/ ABA+MTX & CZP+MTX but not TCZ+MTX vs csDMARD+GC
➡️Imaging progression low in all
