I have no doubt many of our RA patients will take GLP-1 agonists in the future. Here's some data @UCLA showing significant differences in not just body weight and HbA1c, but pain. Will be fascinating to see what it does for grumbling disease activity! #ACR24 ABST2259 @RheumNow https://t.co/HdOPACEo3A

Renal biopsies, while painful, remain the gold standard for diagnosing and classifying lupus nephritis. But what if there are less-invasive methods? In this article, I highlight key abstracts exploring innovative approaches. https://t.co/ZInKmVS2Gn @RheumNow #ACR24

Upadacitinib in Behcet's disease - would be very much welcomed, and this open label 8 patient pilot from China is encouraging. We saw similar data for tofacitinib before @ARD_BMJ: https://t.co/YlAQVXpnTY JAKi (?generic) could be a fantastic option! #ACR24 ABST2515 @RheumNow https://t.co/65friNLUOK

We saw evidence for JAK use in GCA this conference... what about IL-1 inhibition? Double-blind RCT: Anakinra vs. PBO w/ similar GC taper in GCA pt NO difference in relapse rate at 26, 52 wks despite addition of Anakinra @RheumNow #ACR24 Abst1699 https://t.co/gUb0gGJjTG

VERY exciting SLE update from Fava et al. Machine learning used to generate urinary protein panel predictive of intra-renal inflammation BETTER than serum biomarkers C3, C4, dsDNA Also monitoring tool for renal response. Outstanding. @RheumNow #ACRbest #ACR24 https://t.co/YXgKrSU4UQ

Phase 2 RCT of MK2 inhibitor did not show clinical efficacy at week 12 in active AS pts compared to PBO. There are still unmet needs for additional therapeutics in pts with AS that not respond to current therapies. Abst#1760 #ACR24 @RheumNow https://t.co/cXv8HYr0Xr
