Drug Safety
For the last several years, conversations about JAK inhibitors have often started and ended with safety. The shadow cast by ORAL Surveillance has made clinicians more cautious and regulators more restrictive. Yet in practice, many of us continue to reach for upadacitinib when we face challenges in treatment, from rheumatoid arthritis to axial spondyloarthritis.

Cohort study comparing 3yr safety outcomes of JAKi vs. TNFi in AS pts
JAKi use: ⬆️incidence of HZ infxn but not significant; ⬆️all-cause mortality (HR 4.94) and GI bleed (p=0.04)
Individualize tx. consider potential complications

Sex differences in 💊 d/c in axSpA from the RISE registry
🔅Females - ⬆️discontinuation risks for TNFi
🔅No sex differences seen in dc risks for IL17i and JAKis
🔅Young females discontinued faster than males
Gender diff in SpA can guide tx decisions

We often see patients with MTX lab abnormalities but How frequent is MTX toxicity?
Retrospective study 2500pts
Rochester Epidemiology Project cohort
60% w/ ever lab abnormalities, but 4% attributed to MTX 0.87/100 patient year
Organ injury event 0.02/100 patient year = 5 in https://t.co/w8oYUjj5Yp

Head to head study of Secukinumab vs Ustekinumab. In TNFi-experienced PsA patients, the AgAIN trial shows secukinumab performed better than ustekinumab in HAQ-DI response (57.1% vs 27.0%, p=0.002) and across all endpoints (joint counts, pain, and skin outcomes). Fewer https://t.co/CDCWkLF5TW

Abstract 2360: Single-center lupus pregnancy cohort found that:
🔹 Absence of DORIS remission associated w/ adverse pregnancy outcomes (Pre-term, Pre-eclampsia)

In a retrospective TrinetX analysis of 3 year safety outcome in AS, JAKi use was linked to higher mortality and GI bleeding vs TNFi, but lower malignancy risk. Infection rates were similar, with a trend toward more herpes zoster in JAKi users. Abstract#2633 @RheumNow #ACR25 https://t.co/pPY0wpAKA3

DMARD exposure overall during pregnancy is not associated with severe maternal or neonatal morbidity, in this Ontario cohort.
We’re getting better at finding a balance with DMARDs that is safe for both mother and baby. Blanket resistance is harmful

Predictors of retinopathy progression after HCQ discontinued?
In the chart review of 28 pt records who had retinopathy, 35% progressed despite d/c
Age - significant assoc'n with progression
✳️monitor toxicity more closely esp in older pts

#1748 Higher air pollution, esp PM2.5, linked to ⬆️RA disease activity and more flares in >1000 Korean patients. Each rise in PM2.5 significantly boosted DAS28, CDAI & joint counts.
Does cleaner air mean calmer joints?
