CE study BEL vs csDMARDs in TriNetX
Mortality ~3-4% for MTX/AZA/MMF vs ~1.5% for BEL, ~50% reduction in adjusted analysis
Pretty surprising given mediocre results from BLISS RCTs, but strong research group & lotsa fancy stats
Do you believe it?

Effect of BioDMARDs on Diabetes risk in 6400+ Psoriasis pts
IL-23i and IL-17Ai associated w/
-lower risks of diabetes
-Diabetic nephropathy
-Stage 3–5 CKD
and reduced risk compared to TNFi treated and bionaive pts
Adjustment on several variables, but not disease severity https://t.co/TDIHXJOC2T

Leflunomide - a perennial question in GCA, that we still haven’t answered (as this meta-analysis shows), despite clear potential.
We are getting a clearer idea of the strengths/limitations of MTX in GCA, is it now time to get better clarity for LEF?

Avacopan in the real world: we need to be braver
If we want to get steroid-sparing benefit in AAV, we need to trust it
claims data shows modest PNL reduction with avacopan
some manifestations are harder to taper in, but others we just need to be bolder

A systematic review by Dr. SRamiro et al evaluated efficacy of b/tsDMARDs on peripheral axSpA
Majority on bDMARDs (TNFi, n=24; IL-17, n=13)
Most of the SMDs were small --> b/tsDMARDs showed small to moderate effects on peripheral arthritis & enthesitis.

ASAS recommends standardised reporting for 20 key outcomes in axSpA trials, 10 for all studies, 10 specific to DMARD trials. Formats include mean (±SD), mean change, and categorical thresholds for ASDAS, ASAS-HI, and extra-musculoskeletal manifestations. 85% of ASAS members https://t.co/VQwPaTRIOl

#ACR25 Abstr#776 2-Year SELECT-GCA RCT showed that #GCA patients receiving continuous UPA15 to 2-yr maintained their remission (69%) vs those who switched to PBO after in remission for ≥24 weeks (29%). Lower serious infection but higher herpes zoster in UPA15. One VTE @RheumNow https://t.co/FCTNqCVxiZ

2-Year data from SELECT-GCA Phase 3 UPA in GCA
Re-randomization & 52 weeks extension UPA 15mg vs. PBO
-Risk of flare 90% lower
-Complete remission 70% vs 20%
-Cumulative GC 1g difference
-No new safety signal
The quick relapse after stopping UPA indicates we are really looking https://t.co/c1khywnPNv

Immune-Mediated Necrotizing Myopathy @EleniTiniakou #ACR25
*Younger pts tend to have a more aggressive disease
*IVIG and RTX can be considered first-line rx for anti-HMGCR and anti-SRP+, respectively
*CYC and plasmapheresis may be options in cases of aggressive disease https://t.co/zWDX79gqlf
Is there ‘bang for the buck’ using big data to help predict who will develop RA in at-risk populations and similarly to predict response to csDMARDs, TNFi and JAKi in RA?

Real world effectiveness of voclosporin for SLE
Reduction in UPCR from 2.1 at b/l to 0.9 at 6 months, no improvement in eGFR; as expected based on trials
Wonder about market share of BEL vs voclo vs ANI - anyone seen pubs on this?

SELECT-GCA (upadacitinib in GCA for 52w)
we hoped it might have ongoing effect post-cessation
Do we need to continue upa?
Extension data (second year) flare survival curves are clear:
continuing upa far outperforms placebo
It seems >2y toci/upa for GCA

In the 2-yr SELECT-GCA trial, continued upadacitinib 15mg maintained remission in 69% vs 29% who switched to PBO, cutting flare risk by 90% and reducing steroid exposure by ~1g.
No new safety signals in older adults (mean 71yrs). @RheumNow #ACR25 https://t.co/KC9sm3ic3q
