SPACING trial OP0138 at #EULAR2021 ⭐️RCT by the French showing non-inferiority of spacing TNFi in r-axSpA pts w/ LDA (BASDAI<4 x 6mo) ⭐️ 88% in spacing group remained w/ LDA vs 91.5% in standard tx ⭐️ADA, CTZ, GOL, IFX spaced by 1w intervals. ETN by 3-4d & 1w. @RheumNow

Dr Lukas presents data showing possibility of tapering a range of TNF in AxSpA patients in remission 162/184 (88.0%) LDA in progressive spacing group vs 173/189 (91.5%) in continued at 1 year.@RheumNow #EULAR2021 Abstr#0138

Abst#OP0137 at #EULAR2021: ➡️TNFi use for at least 1 year decreased radiographic sacroiliitis progression in early AxSpA in this ten year multicenter study of the German Spondyloarthritis Inception cohort (GESPIC) . ➡️This effect becomes evident 2-4 years after tx. @RheumNow https://t.co/GNnYqYmxhl

tofa/bari in RA H2H vs TNFi comparative efficacy studies highlighted (more head-to-head studies please!) @karolinskainst OP0122 #EULAR2021 @RheumNow (also Swedish national registry data showed tofa/bari comparable to non-TNFi bDMARDs, but no photos allowed!) https://t.co/CUWlK2O94h

Dr Mekinian presents data showing TCZ and TNFi appear equally effective in TAK, complete response 66% vs 70% at 6 months @RheumNow #EULAR2021 Abstr#OP0068

To clot or NOT? Real world data usually show no ⬆️ VTE in RA with #Jaki compares to other advanced therapies. Diff from high CV risk pts in Oral Surveillance where Tofacitinib had higher VTE vs TNFi @AbbVie symposium @eular_org #EULAR2021 @RheumNow Hard to reconcile diff risk. https://t.co/AWY2zZPSIb

Do you think JAKi cause VTE? @eular_org @RheumNow #EULAR2021
