#ACR24 Year in Review: 💡GLP1i significantly decreased knee OA pain over time (or was it the wt loss itself?🤨) 💡CD19 CAR T-Cell therapy has potential to treat/cure many autoimmune diseases (are risks and $ worth the benefit?) 💡 High risk of CV events within 30 days of gout… https://t.co/XF63zr6lk4 https://t.co/oRNri66Il9

EGPA: To RTX or not to RTX?
French MAINRITSEG trial underway to determine utility of RTX vs. AZA maintenance therapy
Huge anticipation for these results, hopefully next year!

Hot off the racks:
The MITIGATE trial is the 1st RCT for IgG4-RD showing that Inebilizumab significantly reduced flare rates vs PbO by depleting CD19-targeted B cells
Game changer?
Year in review.

Looking forward to this Plenary - upadacitinib vs plbo in GCA
Similar to GiACTA, 26wk taper w/UPA better than 52wk taper w/PLBO. Too small for safety, but no new rsks
Strong argument for DMARDs upfront in GCA... but doesn't help with which 😉

MANDARA
Mepolizumab v benralizumab for EGPA
BEN is non-inferior
Secondary outcomes- less eosinophils and more pts completely off GCs
Now approved for EGPA

Abatacept for GPA?
Tx with Abacept did NOT significantly reduce rates of treatment failure compared to GC + PBO (background DMARD allowed) in non-severe, relapsing GPA
Continued need for tx options in non-severe relapsing dz
@RheumNow #ACR24 Abstract #0823 https://t.co/7GfprUzoL7

Multimorbidity reduces response to b/tsDMARDs in RA. We can make a difference by treating the whole person!
Amazing talk by Dr Iain McInned to wrap up #ACR24 #ReviewCourse.
