The rising placebo response rates in PsA trials are linked to global recruiting patterns, with more studies in less affluent countries. Limited access to healthcare may drive this trend, highlighting the need for awareness among stakeholders. Plenary Abstr#0722… https://t.co/FplpSlIamR https://t.co/NIp76IS6TZ

More evidence: persistence of imaging abnormalities is probably NOT an adequate metric of LVV tx failure
Boiardi et al - 87% TAK/LV-GCA pt w persistent dz on imaging despite clinical remission, TAK>GCA
PET avidity more persistent in GCA

Which immunomodulators dampen recombinant zoster vaccine immunogenicity?
In this 🇧🇷 study in autoimmune dx patients, overrepresented in non-responders are:
- rituximab pts
- 'combined therapy'
strategies needed for them
but reassuring for the others!

Kerschbaumer et al. Rising placebo rates in PsA RCTs appear linked to changes in global recruitment patterns. Dramatic relationship between GNI and placebo response rate. Crucial information for properly planning future trials @RheumNow #ACR24 Abstr#0772 https://t.co/PtHs2RXe0f https://t.co/OKG6czQrYD

#Frailty leads to poor outcomes and occurs earlier in RA patients. Different tools measure frailty as a phenotype vs. deficit accumulation.

Global recruiting patterns impact PBO in PsA
PBO results improve w time - 0.9%/year
More globalization of trials w time
Gross nation index (GNI) neg ass w ACR20 - inclusion of less affluent controls affects higher PBO response

To GLP or not to GLP—is it still even a question in obesity management given pluripotent benefits 👇🏻
Dr. Louis Aronne recommends
➡️ Start low and titrate slow 💊
➡️ Provide pt education on GI side effects, ondansetron effective for nausea

SELECT-GCA Trial results show UPA 15 mg + 26-week GC taper leads to 46% sustained remission vs. 29% with placebo + 52-week taper (P=.0019).
UPA15 reduced GC use (median 1615mg vs. 2882mg, P<.0001) and improved fatigue scores.
Key finding: UPA15 combined with a 26-week GC… https://t.co/rdHU3GuOwc https://t.co/oMS7x46sIB

Mycophenolate isn't great for vaccine immunogenicity, but withholding MMF for one week after both doses of recombinant zoster vaccine boosts Ab titres ++ in this Brazilian RCT.
A week off post-vaccine: definitely worth considering in stable disease
