Safer and less relapses in #Takayasu’s #arteritis In #MTX + #MMF Vs #Cyclo ➡️ #azathioprine @RheumNow #ACRBest @ACRheum abst#1696 WOW 😮 Amazing! https://t.co/y3BDjdAa6P

Can we use MTX+MMF to treat active #TAK rather than CYC? ➡️MTX+MMF vs CYC/AZA over 52W MTX+MMF had: ⬆️Better efficacy in inducing & maintaining remission ❕Comparable safety to CYC/AZA ⏩This combination may prove preferable to using CYC Ab1696 #ACR24 @RheumNow https://t.co/S0A8YNk3qL

#Methotrexate is a dud in #PMR for benefit above #glucocorticoids ! #RCT MTX25mg/wk + Pred 15 Mg/d tapered to 0 at 1 yr vs #Prednisone + placebo same taper NO BENEFIT from #MTX #1697 #ACR24 @ACRheum @RheumNow As FYI Poster at #EULAR observed #Leflunomide better than #MTX https://t.co/RepBmOKIsA

Very neat simulated model of GC regimens in AAV pt on fixed RTX by @zach_wallace_md and co Over 5 years: - No difference in relapse btwn standard GC vs. minimal GC + avacopan - Higher DMII rates in standard group Adds to trial + real world data @RheumNow #ACR24 Abst 1598

Belimumab, anifrolumab and voclosporin exhibited an increase in claims from 2017-2022 for #SLE Belimumab ~ 600% increase!! @RheumNow #ACR24 abst#1259 https://t.co/norl1xk2KF

#SLE treatments #ACR24: Compared efficacy & safety of belimumab vs. telitacicept (targets B-lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) and proliferation-inducing ligand(APRIL)) Both improved disease activity with no difference in efficacy Belimumab had lower infection rates @RheumNow abst1544

More data from PAISLEY, deucravacitinib in SLE Small but significant benefit w/respect to joints, a little disappointing tbh Would like to see this for all manifestations ie pericarditis, pleuritis, etc Anyone have an infographic or useful chart? #ACR20 @RheumNow Abstr#1552 https://t.co/tXUoUtssxo

Study on SLE treatments: Compared adverse events of anifrolumab vs. belimumab Similar risks for mortality, sepsis, herpes zoster, dialysis, MACE, PE/VTE, COVID-19, URI, pneumonia, and mental illness #ACR24 @RheumNow abst#1527

Alright help me out here; this is pretty implausible, right? Why would be pts be 11% more adherent to UPA? What's the bio-plausibility here? UPA 10% better than other JAKs? Could do a network meta analysis; betting this doens't replicate #ACR24 @RheumNow Abstr#1362 https://t.co/vpPq3vu9Wf

TYK2/JAK1 in Dermato? Interesting pre-clinical study of brepocitinib... but we really just need clinical data Glad to see this is headed straight to a Phase 3! Hoping they allow IVIG: has been a problem with many/most/all? recent dermato studies #ACR24 @RheumNow Abstr#0882 https://t.co/KS8fTMBpPR

Which RA patients are at increased risk of JAKi adverse events? Does disease activity matter? in the upadacitinib ph3 trials, high disease activity pts had more: serious infections HZ MACE VTE Active RA is a massive contributor to many AEs in JAKi pts #ACR24 ABST1393 @RheumNow https://t.co/DlFf9Sfbja
