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.

#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

Novelli et al. Upadacitinib in male vs female PsA. Data from SELECT-PsA studies. Appears equivalent in males and females, contrasting with TNFi/IL17i data. @RheumNow #ACR25 Abstr#557 https://t.co/fMKsbCkju0

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?

Albach et al. CAR T-cells in D2T RA. 6 patients. Safety looks ok. ACR20 in 4/6, ACR50 in 2/6. ACPA and RF disappeared. Results maybe not as positive as we might have anticipated? @RheumNow #ACR25 Abstr#471 https://t.co/TaEVWiWsNm

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

#0776
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

The pharmacology treatment including biologics, cellular-based therapies, and Bi-specific T-cell Engager (BiTE) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a rapidly expanding field of research that provides excitement and optimism to both the patients and the physicians.
