More on TLL-018
How?
A: Everyone surprised. But maybe dual mech benefits re: pain via IFN
Where’s the multinational RCT in RA?
A: Priority on rapid registration in China, quickly. But ph2 trials for psoriasis happening in US, results so far look consistent.
#ACR23 @RheumNow
Several abstracts have studied the mechanism of action of JAK inhibitors (JAKi) in various diseases. JAKi alter many other mediators affected by the JAK STAT pathway. For instance, T cell signature in blood that is proliferative was associated with a response in RA.

Fascinating how upadacitinib may well have an effect on pain in RA, beyond inflammation.
Now seen similar for bari in RA & guselkumab in PsA. And, if real, for some people could be a massive get. Love to see dedicated studies

R Furie on Decravacitinib in SLE
48wk double-blind trial. PBO v DEU 3mgBID, 6 mgBID,12 mg qd
Higher response, faster time to SRI(4), BICLA and dual response v PBO. More likely to sustain response from w32-48. https://t.co/M34d3nQmwv

Deodhar: TOFA in AS, by b/l CRP levels
30% nml CRP (<5 mg/L) v 70% Elevated
At wk 12, TOFA >> PBO regardless of b/l CRP
Difference in response: greater in pts w elevated CRP
Safety rates: elev. CRP c/w PBO, but nml CRP had trend of high AEs for tofa v PBO https://t.co/b9NRNkU8ub

Upadacitinib on wearable device-measure activity
SELECT-AXIS 2
Abs#0530 #ACR23 @RheumNow
UPA had numerically higher mean daily step counts than PBO
11% improvement v PBO at wk 14 (diff of 345 steps/day)
Sedentary pts: 22% improvement in daily step count from b/l on UPA (4% PBO) https://t.co/Gq91TmvfZC

Good Treatment review of biologics (IL-1, IL-6) in systemic JIA (Stills) including complications of #MAS and lung disease; also info on horizon therapies like JAK inhibitors and IL-18 targeting and novel biomarkers (calgranulins, IL-18 and CXCL9) https://t.co/Cbd7bKdIbb https://t.co/d9tn9fmSAy

Tofacitinib efficacy and safety in axSpA pts by baseline CRP levels
Elevated CRP pts with higher response in ASAS20, ASAS40, BASDAI50, etc.
AE trended higher in normal CRP pts taking Tofa compared to placebo

Deucravacitinib (TYK2) data has been surprisngly good in SLE
Strong rationale in PsA as well; I liked this poster & the focus on pain scores / patient QOL
Probably my #1 draft pick for "drugs I'm buying right now"

Year in Review: Dr. P Seo
Novel PsA therapy on the horizon:
⭐️Brepocitinib
➡️ Tyk-2 inhibitor: IL12/23 & type I IFN
➡️ Phase Ib, 218 pts, 8% TNFi failure
➡️ 71% on concurrent MTX
➡️ Wk 16: ACR 50/70 & PASI75/90 improved, maintained through week 52

I’m not TYK’ed! Another TYK2 #TAK-279 in #PsA RCT. Yup it works in ballpark of other PsA #Rx. #PASI75 45.7%. No obvious dose response w 15 and 30 mg daily but more #acne at higher dose. #ACR23 @ACRheum @RheumNow poster L12 Where to use vs #Deucravitinib? Too early to say as Ph2 https://t.co/nMkgOlUf6s

Nice VA study evaluating risk of lung cancer w/respect to RA treatment strategies
Take home? No association. Aside from the (small risk) w/JAKi's, I think malignancy risks have been mostly overblown

Patient reported outcomes between clinic visits: worth doing?
RA pts starting ADA/UPA, n=150
ArthritisPower/PatientSpot app for PROs between visits
52% of CDAI change explained by PROs
Maybe a helpful tool in prioritising RA clinic reviews?

Who knew? VEXAS =cluster of findings from a somatic mutation N=110 studying retention of advanced Rx. #JAKi had far better retention than other #Rx. Although there could be channeling bias, I am impressed! Access for off label is a different issue #L03 #ACR23 @RheumNow @ACRheum https://t.co/RE4BVdZeWt
For over 70 years, glucocorticoids, (GC) have been a part of standard therapy in SLE. They are classically used to not only induce remission or treat an acute flare, but also as maintenance therapy. They are a valuable 'friend' if used wisely, and can become a 'foe' if used excessively.
