What agent to pick after a TNFi has failed: another TNFi or a non-TNFi?
Would a TNFi drug conc help (i.e. if low, increased clearance due to secondary failure)?
In this RCT @maartenskliniek, this TDM approach was no better than random selection. Argh

Real-world data from @k_lauper's Jak-pot study (>9000 RA pt) on how quickly b/tsDMARDs work:
JAKi, TNFi quicker than tocilizumab, abatacept
Even though they all get to a similar place eventually, some get there quicker
(but worth any safety tradeoffs?)

RA pearls from #ACR24 review course:
1. Remission is DRUG maintained-Ok to reduce MTX dose while on TNFi.
2. Multimorbidity=Poor outcomes, High risk for mortality.
3. Can RA be truly prevented or we are delaying the inevitable? https://t.co/111w1Myqrg
