No significant difference in overall survival in early stage breast cancer (BC) patients treated with TNFi (alone -/+ cDMARDs, in 1st year of BC) and cDMARDs in RA. Those on glucocorticoids had worse survival. Suarez-Almazor M, Abst#1675 #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/lnZx3OpuN5

Insights into pathogenesis venous & arterial thrombosis in RA + JAKi
Significant dysregulation of clotting pathways in myeloid & increased clot formation in context of microbial challenge (TLR4)
Observed across all JAKI, but selective JAK3i

Methotrexate is widely used in rheumatic diseases yet poses common tolerance issues, especially for the oral form; and bioavailability is known to be limited for doses over 15mg. In the SMART study, Prasad et al. present the first RCT comparing either single dose (25 mg) or split-dose (10 mg morning, 15 mg evening, same day) once weekly MTX for 24 weeks.

Hand movement video: more promising than photos as a computer vision concept for remote monitoring of RA disease activity.
Of course: validation, training, clinical evaluation all must happen before it is ready for your clinic

Fatigue 😴 in RA & synovial biology
In DAS LDA pts Fatigue asso w/
-female sex
-synovial lymphocytic inflammation
In DAS moderate DA:
-female sex
-synovial lining layer
-Anxiety
Limitations: arthroplasty tissue, small sample size, no Immunohisto

Fisher et al. In high disease activity, fatigue associates anxiety and synovial lining hyperplasia, 1.57[1.01,2.5]; p=0.047) In LDA, fatigue associates chronic lymphocytic synovial inflammation, 1.92[1.09,3.57]; p=0.024) Abstr#1630 #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/Gev6pU3srq https://t.co/Ys8etP36ir

Do we miss RA activity in obese pts?
Pre-clinical trial entry MSK USS:
similar DAS28
but lower SJC/US scores in obese
Is it because, in obese RA patients:
we underdetect on exam?
we undertreat?
higher risk, so lower penetrance of severe dx endotypes?

Peyton et al.: 4 multimorbidity patterns in RA
-Mental health and subst abuse
-Metabolic
-CV
-Chronic pain
All associated with different sets of biomarkers.
Some are very specific of one profile while others are widespread across profiles.

In PS-matched study, no significant difference in respiratory hospitalisation or death between RA-ILD patients on non-TNFi/JAKi vs. TNFi. This finding does not support systematic avoidance of TNFi in RA-ILD, England B Abst#1582 #ACR23 #ACRBest @RheumNow https://t.co/1zVjMWNZZS https://t.co/d8TRIvGaIe

Abst#1583 SMART study: Split dose qwk MTX (10 mg QAM, 15 mg QPM) may have better efficacy compared to 25 mg single dose qwk MTX. RCT 253 RA patients: split dose had better DAS score, less likely to add other DMARDS, but slight⬆️in LFTs. #Plenary #ACR23 @rheumnow #ACRbest

It's OK to use TNFi in RA-ILD!
VA study 1000+ pts using Target Trial Emulation framework: TNFi vs nonTNFi biologics/JAKi followed for 3 years. NO differences in respiratory hospitalizations or deaths or all cause mortality. abst#1582 #ACR23 #ACRbest @rheumnow https://t.co/aI2SmMrLPE
