Hsieh and @NamrataRheum
Cancer Survival in RA

Interim analysis of a Phase 4 study of ARD (RA 25%, SLE 25%) patients shows recombinant herpes zoster vaccine(RZV) good safety profile, with no impact on disease activity (flare rates: 13.6% vs. 12.4%). Immunogenicity: 93% response in ARDs vs. 99% in controls. Rituximab & MMF… https://t.co/U3s48fLduX https://t.co/WTvD5shtXB

Can we predict who will develop #RA-#ILD?
Wheeler et al showed a combination of genetic risk score, peripheral protein #biomarkers & clinical risk factors can help identify RA-ILD in RA patients.
Does this bring us closer to #PersonalisedMedicine?

Galloway et al report OCP/HRT use in RA is not associated with VTE in UK population based study. Increased risk by having RA, HR 1.52. Risk OCP HR 1.43, HRT HR 2.32 - neither statistical significant but very wide CI's! Hmm... @RheumNow #ACR24 Abstr#0134 https://t.co/CZNoRfYWe8 https://t.co/uC6jA9lcX9

Dhir et al. RCT of increasing folic acid from 5-10mg per week to 15-35mg per week if MTX intolerance. No benefit! Although significant placebo response and folic acid is relatively benign. @RheumNow #ACR24 Abstr#0525 https://t.co/D3yfV6a8t6 https://t.co/QpDa1alvMz

Courvoisier et al. JAK-pot study analysis. Which therapies work quicker in RA? JAKi (as expected) and TNFi (what!?) faster than IL6 and abatacept. @RheumNow #ACR24 Abstr#0501 https://t.co/7DPPwHlqpP https://t.co/3mOJ62hZhp

Serrano-Combarro et al. Abatacept in RA-ILD. 343 patients. In 23.3% ILD progressed on abatacept. Is that good or bad? We need comparative studies! @RheumNow #ACR24 Abstr#0475 https://t.co/nUEDdjGguA https://t.co/sXEF72MafK
