RheumNow’s expanded coverage of the #ACR25 Annual Meeting is sponsored by Bristol Myers Squibb, Novartis, and UCB. All coverage content is independently selected by RheumNow and its faculty.
The GLP-1 story has been hard to miss this year, and at ACR Convergence, it’s clear that these drugs are starting to make real waves in rheumatology. Across multiple abstracts, investigators have used a large real-world dataset, the TriNetX network, to explore how GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) might influence cardiovascular, renal and immune-mediated outcomes in our patients.

Rheumatologists love AI scribes in clinic.
The way we interact is potentially well suited, and accuracy and synthesis quality is bound to improve. Is it inevitable that it will universally be standard practice for us soon?

At ACR Convergence 2025, new research explored critical disparities and epidemiologic trends shaping outcomes in autoimmune rheumatic diseases across diverse populations and age groups. Studies presented at the meeting highlighted issues ranging from kidney transplant outcomes in lupus to medication disparities in rheumatoid arthritis and demographic patterns in systemic sclerosis and axial spondyloarthritis.

PD-1+ effector memory T cells in PsA synovium are functionally active and regulate Th17 cytokines via STAT3/RORγt. Recombinant PD-L1 agonist significantly reduced T cell proliferation and IL-17A/F/IL-22 production highlighting checkpoint agonists as a novel therapeutic strategy https://t.co/I6eNa0j7aa
