TAC+MMF + GC vs TAC +GC in lupus nephritis (target trial emulation): 🔹Higher total renal response w/ TAC + MMF + GC at 12 mo (59.7% vs 33.3%) consistent in ITT & per-protocol 🔹similar adverse events reported (14.6% vs 16.4%) @RheumNow #ACR25 https://t.co/Yuql3O9C8X

#ACR25 Abstr#2695 Inguinal lymph node biopsies pre- and post-OBI, RTX, BLIN & CD19 CAR-T showed complete tissue depletion with CAR-T. B-cells reduced but often incomplete with protein-based depleters; OBI being the best. Still don’t agree with “immune reset” @RheumNow #ACRBest https://t.co/Sq7m9sXlLP

#2682 In a randomised trial of 320 RA patients, the recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) was safe and did not trigger disease flares. But methotrexate use and older age significantly blunted antibody responses ➡️key factors to consider for vaccine strategies in RA. @RheumNow #ACR25

#2659 In a large real-world target trial (>1.3M with T2D), SGLT2 inhibitors, esp dapagliflozin & empagliflozin, were assoc with lower risks of RA, lupus, vasculitis & other autoimmune rheumatic diseases vs DPP-4 inhibitors. Possible immune benefits of SGLT2i? @RheumNow #ACR25

Abstract 2697: Compared to MMF, tacrolimus showed - similar SRR by week 96 (58.5% vs. 69.2%, OR 0.62; 95% CI 0.29-1.29) - similar time to renal AE/deaths (HR 0.70; 95% CI 0.37-1.35) - serious AEs less frequent (12.3% vs. 30.8%) @RheumNow #ACR25 https://t.co/o3LtgOp7St

#2658 In >870k adults with T2DM or obesity, GLP-1 receptor agonists showed no increase in autoimmune or inflammatory disease risk, and were instead linked to lower mortality, heart failure, stroke and dementia. Excellent real-world safety signals. @RheumNow #ACR25

Abstract 2695: Deep dive into B-cell depletion (BCD) Lymph node biopsy pre/post tx: 🔹 CAR T: complete BCD + disrupted follicular architecture 🔹 RTX, OBI, BLIN: reduced BCD + preserved follicular architecture ✅ Complete LN depletion → drug-free remission @RheumNow #ACR25

Hydroxychloroquine in SLE is all about the sweet spot. Not too hot with retinopathy, not too cold with flares, just right by the levels. Yet drug concentrations and TDM are not commonplace in many places - time for change Laura Coates in the #ACR25 meeting review @RheumNow https://t.co/oB3ecfSQQc
