MIRROR results showed 12-month safety/efficacy support MTX co-therapy w/ pegloticase. No IRs after 6mo of tx and increased resolution of tophi at wk 52. I use MTX in my gout pts on Pegloticase. Are you #rheumtwitter? Abs 0001 #ACR22 @RheumNow https://t.co/FLwOmAYrS4

Role of acquired mutations in #gout
Risk factor for gout CHIP?
Individuals with CHIP are more likely to developed acute episodes of gouty episodes
More IL-1B in cells with somatic mutations like CHIP

CHIP- need to know! Somatic mutations fondly known as CHIP - not the salty ones. Clonal hematopoeisis of uncertain significance. Older Pts getting somatic mutations account for more CVS, malignancies , one change in TET2 increased gout #ACR2022 @RheumNow John Barga Yr in Review https://t.co/6bnqnkDFpL

MTX increases pegloticase efficacy in MIRROR trial. Similar safety too. Shame the cost of pegloticase is prohibitive in Australia...

Preview of what is sure to be discussed more in detail later..
MIRROR trial of MTX co-administration with pegloticase in treatment of gout.
MTX co-administration improved control of gout, reduced infusion reactions
