Congrats to Dr Kaitlin McCarter for her #ACR23 investigating predictors and mortality of pre-existing RA flare after immune checkpoint inhibitor.
46% flared
Seropositive- OR 2.0
NO association with mortality
-ICIs are safe to use in RA
-Flares are not a proxy of efficacy https://t.co/eoy0FJb1nA

LNK01001 12 mg or 24 mg BID to 24 weeks in moderate to severe RA achieved ACR 20 (91.1%, 90.7% respectively), were generally safe, well tolerated with most TEAEs being mild to moderate. Effect seen in Week 1. Wu C, Late breaking Abst#L09 #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/M29LYtEs9I

Rx of #inflammatory #arthritis with #glucocorticoids doesn’t seem to affect outcomes in #malignancy treated with #checkpoint #inhibitors. Good news as new or flaring inflammatory arthritis as an irAE can be severe. #ACR23 @RheumNow @ACRheum #1055 @CanRIO_Tweets https://t.co/tFIPcQq2X6

Tapering ABA vs. stable dose ABA in RA
No diff in DAS28 remission at 2 years
But…
Only in patients receiving concomitant MTX
Those tapering ABA mono also experience higher functional important
Of note: not an RCT

Intervention included food delivery svc & probiotic shot
Limitations included study design issues such small sample size
