Rheumatoid Arthritis
Drs. Jack Cush and Arthur Kavanaugh discuss highlights and key takeaways from ACR 23.
While there wasn’t much original new programming and research presented on the final day, that didn’t slow the RheumNow faculty from tweeting the noteworthy “Best of ACR” abstracts. Enjoy these below.
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.

How do we manage difficult discussions about pregnancy in RA?
Most rheums know that it is important to get pregnancy planning right for women of childbearing age living with rheumatic diseases. That is easier said than done, though...

L20 at #ACR23
Phase 3 RCT of #Telitacicept vs. placebo in #RA
☝🏻B-cell neutralization by targeting BlyS and APRIL
✅ better ACR20 and 50 response at W24
✅ favorable structural response
✅ good safety profile
❓ few seronegative patients
A new small molecule to treat #RA?

#ACR23 #EdLovering presenting on association b/w #RA, #CVD & #Dementia:
👉🏻CVD is not a signif mediator b/w RA &Dementia
👉🏻 signif synergy b/w RA & CVD on dementia (HR 2.45 vs those w/o RA&CVD)
👉🏻 ⬆️ risk of dementia in RA mostly in people with RA+CVD

Impressive and important study supporting safety of TNF inhibitors among patients with RA-ILD. Elegant methods of target trial emulation. Congrats to the authors on plenary presentation!

Nipocalimab (say it a couple of times) is a FcRn (neonatal Fc receptor) inhibitor. In short promotes degradation of IgG incl autoantibodies (and investigated in myasthenia).
Prof Taylor presents that it might work in CCP high titer RA at #ACR23.

B cell signalling reduction to treat #RA?
Telitacicept RCT showed #efficacy in active RA w MTX -maybe blunted high responses but no active comparator, only #PBO so difficult to compare to current Rx and only from 1 country China. Past bDMARDs not reported

As per #ACR23 ABST0433, what % of RA patients on US Medicare are on a DMARD within 1y of diagnosis?
I'm not talking your choice of b/tsDMARD.
I'm talking any cs/b/tsDMARD of any sort.

Taylor et al. Novel blood assay for sero+ and sero- RA. Differentiates well from other diseases. May be very valuable for sero- RA diagnosis = sensitivity 83.7%, +LR 21.46, and -LR 0.17. Needs validation. Abstr#2586 #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/jw41F8YohE https://t.co/kXi3km0b07
