Lupus
        
      Prof. Sandra Navarra and colleagues compared the efficacy and safety of tacrolimus and glucocorticoids vs. mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) as a continuous induction-maintenance treatment for class III/IV+V lupus nephritis.
    
  
        
      Drs. Jack Cush & Arthur Kavanaugh, two of rheumatology’s most trusted voices, provide a breakdown of the latest breakthroughs and hottest topics in rheumatology from the 2025 ACR Convergence meeting in Chicago.

Great discussion   by @EBRheum @AkhilSoodMD @Dr_Brian_MD  .
I have always been a FK fan in lupus nephritis as an add on therapy , the only inconvenience is regular  monitoring.

          Prospective RCT on safety & efficacy of TAC+GC vs. MMF+GC
TAC+GC was comparable to MMF+GC as continuous induction maintenance treatment over 96 wks for LN. 
AE rates comparable. 
TAC - AKI & tremor
MMF - leucopenia
reassuring data.more tx options.

          2465: Dual-target CD19/BCMA CAR-T in refractory SLE (Phase 1)
🔹All pts (n=10) met SRI-4 by wk24
🔹DORIS remission: 5 (wk24), 6 (wk36–48)
🔹Residual proteinuria (n=4); renal bx (n=3) showed resolved IC deposits & inflammation
🔹CRS Grade 1 (n=6); no ICANS

          #SLE #DORIS #remission is RARE and without #prednisone even rarer
#ASIA #Pacific 5K pts over 10 yrs
A call to do  better
82% LLDAS, 70% remission, 31% GC-free remission (REM-0) at least once

          When should you order a renal bx in suspected #LN?
Active urinary sediment
Used to be #UPCR 500g/g or more
Abst#772 looked at UPCR 250g/g to 499 
71% + LN and half needed Rx

          CAR-T Cell Therapies Show Promise for Autoimmune Disease
Two pioneering studies presented at #ACR25 spotlight the potential of CAR-T cell therapies to transform treatment for SLE and other autoimmune diseases. These early findings suggest a new frontier in immune modulation and https://t.co/KdNWmVc4Qc

          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%)
