Post hoc analysis of 3 PsA/SPA trials: no effect of tobacco 🚬 on TOFA efficacy But numerically higher TEAEs
Contrasting w/ data from real world TNF
Interesting data but small sample size & events N

DANBIO registry: 1600+ pts RA, AxSpA, PsA
Infiximab biosimilar to biosimilar switch (CT-P13 -> GP1111)
Maintenance at 1yr:
>80%
> withdrawal in original IFX naive, but higher BL DA
Do second time switchers do better because of past switch experience?

Biosimilar to biosimilar effective in treatment of RA/PsA/AxSpA.
Large study looking at infliximab biosimilar switching - resulted in high retention rates and virtually no change in disease activity.

Abstr #1494 determinants of clinically important worsening (CIW) of early axSpA
- CIW = ASDAS ↑ > 0.9 b/w 2 visits
- Tender Joint count and ASAS-NSAID score associated w/ CIW
- MRI SI Jt inflammation & structural damage predictive of CIW

BASDAI and ASDAS performed similarly in axPsA pts, both demonstrating weak correlations w/ peripheral arthritis and moderate/strong correlations w/ pt fatigue and pain. Abs 1037 #ACR22 @RheumNow https://t.co/WRQx1hkIll https://t.co/kJVIWyVv2w

Osteoporotic fx in AS
Abstract #0388 #ACR22 @RheumNow
🦴2k adults in RISE, mean age 68y, 44% female, 76% white
🦴Higher risk with: older age, increased comorbidity index, OP history, chronic use of opioids, low BMI
🦴Men and women were equally likely to fracture

Early TNFi use and cardiovascular events in AS
Abstract #0415 #ACR22 @RheumNow
📍17.6k patients, 91% male, 80% white
📍TNFi initiators were younger with lower prev. of HTN and DM
📍TNFi was associated with higher risk of incident CVD, CVA, and MACE https://t.co/7bCkfk7EYY

axPsA and AS adult pts exhibit different genetic risk factors & serum IL-17 levels. GUS demonstrated significant pharmacodynamic effects and clinical improvement in axPsA and non-axPsA pts. Abs 1038 #ACR22 @RheumNow https://t.co/9Rjw7usO8J

What neonatal factors could affect development into axSpA? Turns out antibiotic exposure (6.2x more likely).
Mode of delivery, early diet (milk vs. formula), maternal smoking (!!) did not show association.

Many practicing, and retired, rheumatologists will recall a time when we only had TNFi for the treatment of SpA.
These drugs changed the landscape of disease and for the first time, we felt we had…
