Systematic review & meta-analysis by DrHChaudhary et al @DaoudAnsaam @mmagrey1
showed that males w/ axSpA who were treated with biologics had ⬆️ BASDAI150 response & likely w/ ASDAS low dse activity vs. females w/axSpA
Again, effect of gender differences

Coming from somewhere where biosimilars are SOC for many years, I just find it wild how things are biosimilar wise in the US. Reflected by so many abstracts, including lots of oral presentations, essentially on showing biosimilars work. #ACR24 @RheumNow

How does #cardiovascular risk vary with #ACPA & #biologics in #RA?
⬆️BMI assoc with ⬆️MACE risk in ACPA+ pts
In ACPA- pts, BMI inversely assoc with MACE risk among pts on biologics
Further evidence to consider ACPA, BMI & MACE as part of RA management

Medication-assisted weight loss has boomed in recent yrs. How does weight loss affect disease activity & PROs in RMDs?
≥5% weight loss, after taking a med, led to better disease activity & QoL
Data may inform RCTs to explore effect of these meds in RMDs
Ab0845 #ACR24 @RheumNow
Studies show that patients with difficult-to-manage axSpA have a higher disease activity; however, the lack of a consensus definition led researchers and clinicians to utilize their own proposed definition, resulting in variability of the characteristics of non-responders.

Results from MANDARA- #EGPA pts treated with benralizumab or mepolizumab
Eosinophil-targeting biologics rapidly control airway- & non-airway-related manifestations
Few pts had worsening of disease that progressed to organ damage over 52W

Briefly highlighting this poster, always looking for a non-Georg Schett CAR-T study to see if their results replicate
All 10 pts in this one had a "complete humoral response," normalizing antibodies & experiencing long term drug-free remission

This is likely an oversimplification, but I've been looking for exactly this diagram
Inhibiting various TYKs/JAKs corresponds to various downstream cytokine inhibition
@EricFMorand does it make sense to see this as anifrolumab+ustekinumab? No?
