Just so good to see PMR on the plenary stage at #ACR22, after #EULAR2022 too
SAPHYR study: sarilumab allows for
- a quicker steroid wean & less toxicity
- but also far more disease remission, quicker symptom resolution, better quality of life
Game-changing.

Do you think you need a #steroid sparing Rx in #polymyalgia #rheumatica? +data in #sarilumab w 14 wk ped taper. No diverticulitis, ?Stacking comparator grp to flare as past steroid tapering caused a flare. But that is an unmet need after long pred Rx Abst#1543 #ACR22 @RheumNow https://t.co/Q1bhYs7LEz

Intersting discussion post Plenary this AM
- Agree w/RS that we should taper steroid
- Is there a disease modifying benefit? I think not
- When should this be used? Disagree w/RS, I would not use unless relapsing/refractory and requiring >10mg pred

Chimeric autoAg T cell recepter (CATCR) reprogram T cells to selectively kill autoreactive B cells
Model CATCR for APLS via B2GPI-CATCR T-cells eliminating anti-B2GP DI B cells, dose-dependent
Model for SELECTIVE Rx in APLS/rheum disease

Very cool preclinical plenary @MaxKonigMD
Instead of CAR-T to just CD19, created CATCRs that selectively kill specific B cells (beta2 glycoprotein expressing cells)
Early days but super interesting possibilities - APS, SLE, AAV, & more?

Chimeric autoantigen-T cell receptor (CATCR)-T cell therapies:
precision cellular therapy
selectively deplete autoreactive B cells
@MaxKonigMD in the plenary:
CATCR can take out anti-b2GPI autoAbs crucial to antiphospholipid syndrome, but preserve normal B cells

GWAS analysis of 2.5m people (120k with gout) showing identifies 1486 candidate causal genes for gout. Looking at urate handling as well as disease propagation (eg. IL1/6). Widespread GWAS allowing us to investigate these diseases differently.

#ACR22 Highlights. ILD in CTDs #rituximab = #cyclophoshamide at 6 mo for CTD ILD & ritux better on skin score in #scleroderma RECITAL RCT abst0003 but #pirfenidone added to #MMF not better than MMF alone in SLSIII RCT—ILD w #SSc abst#520 vs in SENCIS #nintedanib is + @RheumNow

Great moderating PMR talk w/@SattuiSEMD this AM; phenomenal slides @drceowen re:imaging in PMR
Big ?s:
-Who needs this? All/some/many
-Which modality? Nice summary slide
-How to treat "subclinical" GCA (risk of overtreatment imo)
Ideas for next year?
