Gottlieb et al. TYK2i Zasocitinib in PsA. 12 week phase 2 RCT. Skin responses and MDA all favour zasocitinib but maybe not fantastic? PASI75 46%, PASI90 37%, PASI100 26%. MDA in photo. @RheumNow #ACR24 Abstr#1477 https://t.co/iX5iriESV2 https://t.co/RkEmcAZ80x

Slick poster, but must be careful w/real world data. Big risk of confounding/channeling bias
Pts with MACE risk (not always well-characterized by ICD codes) also less likely to receive JAK & therefore less liekly to have subsequent MACE

Getting more data on using deucravacitinib for PsO/PsA manifestations
Impressive effect on scalp psoriasis (which often means a lot to patients)
Given how safe it is, it's increasingly tempting to use more of it in mild-mod PsA

Serrano-Combarro et al. Case series of upadacitinib in RA-ILD. 18 patients. Report stable/improved dyspnoea and HRCT over 12 months. PFTs shown, relatively stable @RheumNow #ACR24 Abstr#1372 https://t.co/yncy0lPq60 https://t.co/mrDMtEDwUt

#1477 🔬Zasocitinib (TYK-2i) shows promise in phase IIb RCT
➡️n=290, randomised to PBO, 5/15/30mg gps
💥30mg group
📉 Rapid skin improvement @ Wk 2
➡️Wk 12 PASI:~2X placebo (-2.5;p=0.004)
🛟Well tolerated
⬆️MDA (28 v. 12.5% p<0.05) promise for other PsA domains

Exciting early data for new highly selective TYK2i zasocitinib
Improved PASI skin scores (though not as much as IL23i...)
Funky skin-related adverse events at higher doses, not sure what to make of that?

The SELECT-GCA study, looking at upadacitinib in GCA, anchored the ACR 2024 opening plenary for a reason - it is highly notable and badly needed.
Are emulation ‘trials’ helpful, despite the biases that occur with observational data, or do they truly mimic the results of randomized controlled trials (RCTs)?
ACR Convergence 2024 opened today with a full slate of presentations, posters and specialty meetings. The meeting began with a flip: the plenary sessions started at 9AM and the poster session began at 1030 AM. Below are some of the highlights from day one in Washington, DC.

Race of b/tsDMARDs in RA, the “JAK-pot” study.
JAKi and TNFi with more rapid early improvement in CDIA, HAQ, and pain compared to ABA or IL-6 inhibitors…..although effects blunted after adjusting for patient and RA characteristics

🤵♂️Results from BACHELOR
➡️34 PMR pts
➡️18 BARI, 16 PBO
➡️Primary endpoint: CRP PMR-AS≤10 w/o oral GC rescue from W0 to 12
78% BARI pts reached primary endpoint vs 13% PBO
No new safety signals
BARI 4mg 12W, then 2mg 12W➡️36W low disease activity in PMR
