Does #baricitinib affect #fatigue in RA patients?
👉🏼Results from RA-BEAM and RA-BEACON
👉🏼4mg baricitinib significantly reduced fatigue, starting week 16, compared to placebo
👉🏼Effect independent of disease activity in active RA

#RA pts on #baricitinib less likely to discontinue treatment & more likely to achieve remission than pts receiving biologic /other tsDMARD.
👉🏼Results from RA-BE-REAL observational study
👉🏼Bari(2 or 4mg) vs biologic/other tsDMARD

Effect of BMI on PRO treatment response in PsA. Increasing BMI associated with lower response. More pronounced in TNFi than IL-17 or JAKi. Abstr#1327 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/qhgVlW72uM

Wk 12 disease activity predicts wk 24/26 remission/low disease activity with #upadacitinib 15mg in MTX-naïve or inadequate responders to MTX and/or TNFi pts.
≥50% improvement in SJC/TJC at Wk 12 was assoc with wk 24/26 remission/low disease activity.

Baricitinib for *relapsing* GCA (Th1+Th17)
w abbreviated steroid wean (15-22w)
Despite being tougher to treat:
100% off steroids at 24w
93% off steroids at 52w
no ischemic Sx
promising as another GCA Rx option!
(post-cessation 4pts flared)

Januse kinase (JAK) inhibitors are targeted synthetic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (tsDMARDs) that have risen in popularity as earlier treatment options for rheumatoid arthritis. With multiple JAK inhibitors available in the United States (tofacitinib, baricitinib, and upadacitinib), patients who fail one treatment option have the ability to switch to another agent or change to biologic therapy.
Still's disease is an autoinflammatory disease characterized by spiking fever, rash, polyarthralgia, sore throat and even life-threatening complications, such as macrophage activation syndrome. It was first described by George Still in the late 1800s.

This feels like an excellent starting point for Tuesday's ORAL Surveillance malignancy discussion.
RWE Cohort: HR 1.01 (0.83-1.22)
RCT-dup Cohort: HR 1.19 (0.86-1.64)
ORAL Surveillance: HR 1.48 (1.04-2.09)
Interesting day 4 ahead!
great talk @SeoyoungCKim #ACR21 7S413 @RheumNow https://t.co/YSau21goMr

⬆️ Paraoxonase PON1 activity associated w/
⬇ risk of malignancies (not NMSC) in RA pts treated w/ TOFA, Adj on RA duration, age, and smoking.
A promising biomarker! #Abst980 @RheumNow #ACR21 https://t.co/fOILnAyDN9
