The last day at ACR23 was a ghost town as most left, largely because there was limited programming on the fourth and final day. The main attraction on Day 4 was the late-breaking abstract – oral presentations. Here’s a list of the late breakers; below, I provide commentary on the ones that caught my attention.

In case you missed it! AR882-selective oral URAT1i added to #allopurinol rapidly improves/dissolve #tophi. Given with #colchicine, #placebo 3/4 flared vs <1/2 w drug. My critique is why not optimize allopurinol dose - only 300 mg, no fuboxastat L15 #ACR23 @RheumNow @ACRheum https://t.co/NZWLpWXT51

Who uses #cannabis in #rheumatic #diseases? Those who smoke, have higher pain, more anxiety, poor sleep are more likely to have used cannabis for their rheumatic disease. Half of the >2900 respondents have tried #cannabis. Use of #biologics reduced use. #980 @RheumNow @ACRheum https://t.co/DQDRQN40zR
