#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

#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 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

Abst 2694: Post-hoc analysis of Phase 2 PAISLEY SLE trial examined impact of deucravacitinib on renal dysfunction 🔹 Plasma proteins a/w ↑ BILAG renal score and ↓ UPCR --> reduced by WK 32 🔹 Biomarkers inversely related to eGFR were reduced with deucra vs PBO @RheumNow #ACR25 https://t.co/6CvmQ9lCfS

Deucravacitinib (TYK2) in PsA from POETYK trials Improved ACR20 at wk16 (NNT ~5), less benefit for ACR70 (NNT ~20) Steady improvements during open label extension (all pts received drug) Would expect approval for PsA soon... where will this fit in your approach? @RheumNow https://t.co/325h2hf0AE

Autologous CAR-Treg in RA, without any lymphodepletion preRx Early data from ph1, single dose Good initial response, stopped RA Rx, but some rebound Clearly work ongoing but excitement re: - CAR-Treg - RA as target dx - no lymphodepletion @minnakohlermd #ACR25 LB23 @RheumNow https://t.co/azmlFNU02R

Turns out you can directly degrade NETs. Holy smokes NETs critical in pathology of SLE & other dx They’ve found you can target it Enzymatic degrader fused to albumin Proof-of-concept: degraded a patient’s SLE manifestations in hours Definitely one to watch #ACR25 LB22 @RheumNow https://t.co/HVEt8wFYmI

Microbiome signature for prediction of response to MTX in RA: Yay or Nay? Microbiome analysis 60pts, 23 MTX NR BL enrichment in specific species in MTX NR Looking at the graphs though, seems to be driven by a few pts Prediction model doesn't seem to perform greatly Sens 88% https://t.co/1yrSXdE6DG
