@RheumNow Obinutuzumab for lupus nephritis was a very recent FDA addition two weeks ago, and we’ll play catch-up with the hematologists to get familiar with it, including its safety profile #ACR25 FDA Update @RheumNow https://t.co/h6bf4roGzB

Perhaps it was my ignorance, but a FDA-approved therapy for fibromyalgia was not on my 2025 bingo card. We’re not exactly overwhelmed with proven options for FM, the unmet need is so great, so the more, the better. #ACR25 FDA session @RheumNow https://t.co/wwWijl3IyW

Agrawal et al. Case study of tofacitinib + bDMARDs in refractory IA. 7 SpA, 2 RA, 1 JIA. Effective and safe. @RheumNow #ACR25 Abstr#2338 https://t.co/Y0B3W4csJX

#ACR25 Abstr#LB11 2025 belongs to Sjogren! In patients with ESSDAI=>5, a Phase 3 RCT of Telitacicept (BAFF/APRIL-i) in China met primary endpoint; change in ESSDAI vs PBO. ESSPRI improved too! Wow! That PBO response was a flat line! Will need Global study @RheumNow #ACRBest https://t.co/LXxpBZPCtF

Eder et al. Deucravacitinib in PsA from POETYK-PsA stuides. Male and female patients had similar response rates at week 16. ACR 20 57% vs 51%, ACR50 27% vs 27%, ACR70 12% vs 10%, MDA 24% vs 20%. @RheumNow #ACR25 Abstr#2356 https://t.co/bImzTA7uUC

#ACR25 Abstr#LB10 Promising 4-Year data of Deucravacitinib in blinded phase 2 RCT +LTE study showed efficacy inc. LLDAS and CLASI-50 response were maintained/improved over time in #SLE No concerning safety signal. Looking forward to Phase 3 results next year @RheumNow https://t.co/fZv82zJ6Q4

#ACR25 How hard will you go & at what cost? A study in China using CD20/BCMA Bispecific autologous CAR-T showed profound depletion, normalisation of abs and good response in #SLE (10/11 had LN). But 2 had G3 infections & cytopenia. Presenters said some had IVIG @RheumNow #ACRBest https://t.co/TF0wpib5rr

#ACR25 Abstr#LB02 Is there a role for JAK-i for the treatment of IgG4-RD? Opel label RCT in China (N=58) showed NO relapse in Tofacitinib + GC taper vs GC Taper alone (54%). No serious infection. Interesting and a PBO-controlled is warranted @RheumNow https://t.co/dFvAmcGfCT

#ACR25 Abstr#LB01 After several smaller studies, a Multicentre, Phase 2b RCT of 152 #SLE pts in China. SRI-4 was met in IL-2 as s/c every other day for 12 wks, followed by weekly for another 12 wks vs PBO. Efficacy & T-regs expansion were dose dependent. On to Phase 3 @RheumNow https://t.co/L0rYr5D1R1

CAR T flex for myositis 💪 LB14: Ongoing Phase 1 CD19 CAR T in refractory myositis ✅ Well-tolerated (low-grade CRS, transient cytopenias) 📈 11/11 improved MMT-8 (median +22 Day 85, +27 Day 169) 🔹 10/11 off myositis therapy at follow-up @RheumNow #ACR25 https://t.co/btOsIcHe0f

Late Breaker: Phase 2 RCT of low dose IL2 in SLE Dose dependent response in SRI4 over 12 weeks & surprisingly high rates of LLDAS Too early to know if useful, but worth evaluating in a phase 3 #ACR25 @RheumNow Abstr#LB01 https://t.co/oPOLG82nwi

Late Breaker: Observational study of MEPO in EGPA 375 pts receiving MEPO had less ARF/CKD than 727 pts receiving standard of care Smallish event #'s & lots of p values... also, what about the vasculitis?!? #ACR25 @RheumNow AbstLB16 https://t.co/XwqNthfwPF

Semaglutide isn’t just for weight loss? In RA, users had 20–40% lower risk of synovitis, stiffness & swelling up to 1 year vs matched controls. GLP-1 agonists may offer anti-inflammatory benefit beyond metabolism. @RheumNow #ACR25 Abstract#2286
