Does MTX have an impact on UST-immunogenicity in PsA?
Post-hoc analysis from UST RCT in 110+ pts
No difference in ADA rates & concentrations between
MTX and non-MTX groups and
ADA not associated w/ decreased UST levels

Proof that MTX doesn't affect sperm! Sperm morphology, motility, concentration, semen volume, testosterone/LH/FSH similar b/f and after exposure; DNA fragmentat'n was⬆️in pre-MTX exposure (possible reason high dz activity contributes to infertility) #EULAR2022 @rheumnow OP0131 https://t.co/JWLEggRhAY

Hamroun @annamolto et al. Factors assoc with increased time to conception in SpA. 56 pregnancies. Multivariate model, age (HR 1.22 (1.08-1.40)) and preconception NSAID use (HR 3.01 (2.15-3.85)) assoc increase time to conception. @RheumNow #EULAR2022 OP0153 https://t.co/y2EAyAdRmk https://t.co/28aLimRInE

Perez-Garcia et al. MTX effect on semen parameters. I still frequently get queries about this. 48 participants here. No significant effect! @RheumNow #EULAR2022 OP0131 https://t.co/33NG6isehm https://t.co/g7Xn33i96u

Patient with 12 weeks inflamm-sounding arthralgias and functional impairment, high titre RF/CCP, osteitis on MRI, no clinical synovitis on exam.
Do you suggest to patient to treat with methotrexate?

🚨 Study on MTX and male fertility
Analysis of semen parameters in
🙋🏼♂️HC
🙋🏼♂️RA, PsA and PsO MTX naive
🙋🏼♂️Post MTX
Reassuring data as NO significant effect of MTX was observed on several semen parameters.

Hamroun S et al for the GR2 Cohort showed that age HR 1.22 and use of NSAIDs HR 3.01 in the pre-conception period was associated with a longer time to conception in women with SpA. Research is needed on continuous NSAID use in the preconception period #EULAR2022 @RheumNow OP0153 https://t.co/hl6jUlK5PN
It’s good to be back into full, big meeting mode.
Multinational throngs of half-masked people, long security lines, limited seating, obstructed views, an abundance of little coffee options, no food…

MIRACLE study: High or Low dose MTX w/ ADA in eRA?
✨ LOWd (6-8mg/w) 38.4% non-inferior to HIGHd (>10mg/w) 44.8%
✨But safety profile looks better 9.1% vs 22.1% 👀
Are you already looking for minimal dose of MTX in patients treated w/ biologics?
