Krijbolder et al. TREAT EARLIER DBRCT. MTX vs PBO for pre-RA. Treat 1 year, stop, and follow 1 year. No difference in RA development. Delay in ACPA+ or high risk. Sustained benefit in MTX group on pain, EMS, function, MRI. @RheumNow #ACR22 Abstr#1603 https://t.co/M2qQfgrhC1 https://t.co/UUeknTLx0K

Does curcurmin (tumeric) do anything in RA?
Big talk & sales.
Best chance would be keeping pts in remission during csDMARD taper:
DBRCT n=200
52w, high bioavail form, good serum conc
Absolutely nothing vs placebo
I'll call it: just doesn't work in RA

Deane et al STOP RA trial. DBRCT HCQ vs PBO pre-RA. Treat 1 year, stop, 2 year follow up. Does not prevent RA development. Literally no effect at all, even during treatment phase. @RheumNow #ACR22 Abstr#1604 https://t.co/7jHv7cs5DT https://t.co/GNblKs90RU

Abs 1417 finds physicians prefer ABA over TNFi for RF/ACPA+ pts w/ higher disease severity, older age, the presence of extra-articular manifestations, and comorbidities such as heart failure. My question: Trouble getting it first line? #ACR22 @RheumNow https://t.co/tlFMgjgDNM https://t.co/ukoeLgSSUd

In RA pts initiating their first b/tsDMARD, Abs 1420 did not observe differences in 6- and 12-month effectiveness outcomes between ETN, ADA, and JAKi monotherapy. #ACR22 @RheumNow https://t.co/e8GA45Rrmd https://t.co/zooGxlTftO

Day two at ACR 2022 was full of great sessions on imaging, vasculitis, lupus, vasculitis, spondyloarthritis, COVID, pregnancy, microbiome, economics and more.
Here are the RheumNow faculty selections for #ACRbest abstracts today:
An interesting study presented at ACR22 looked at whether neural networks can distinguish seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA+), seronegative RA (RA-), and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) using hand MRI data based on the structural inflammation patterns.
