SAPHYR phase 3 RDBPCT study: #sarilumab vs PCB for relapsing #PMR on pred 7.5+ mg/d. Study met endpoints (whether of or not CRP was included). Time to first flare was longer w/SARI, less steroid use, and also better PROs. AE: #EULAR2022 LB0006 @rheumnow 1/2 https://t.co/lIspLKlveb

Redondo-Rodriguez et al. Abatacept in RA-ILD. Prospective study 38 patients. 73.6% improved/stablised with abatacept at median 17 month follow-up @RheumNow #EULAR2022 POS0654 https://t.co/D2du0hAXIy

#POS1207 #EULAR2022 In N=98 RA patients with poor antibody response to rituximab after two doses, 19% responded after 3rd dose. Associated with longer Time of vaccine from last RTX & interestingly ultra dose 200mg used in the Netherlands @RheumNow https://t.co/TTXXtOU6vp

BRIDGE-PMR (rituximab in PMR) routine care extension to 52w (in #PMRGCAJC one big qu asked was ?sustained benefit) sustained benefit (RR 2.5 GC-free remission) steroid-sparing (PNL 1.6g v 2.3g) & ritux ?cheap enough now but COVID calculus difficult POS0269 #EULAR2022 @RheumNow https://t.co/Ln2ArclKO8 https://t.co/OtCwdjIPeL

CorEvitas PsA Registry (1000+ pts) Analysis of biologics prescription according to disease domains No real surprise to see that IL-17i were prescribed more frequently in pts w/ PsO BSA>10% at BL Overall first line TNFi 40% > IL-17i 14% POS0309 @RheumNow #EULAR2022 https://t.co/dkLxl8d6ug

Castrejon et al. BIOBADASER registry study. Cancer risk with various bDMARDs. Overall I don't think there is a difference here. Lowest in IL17i and highest in abatacept but older and comorbidity confounders @RheumNow #EULAR2022 #POS1439 https://t.co/gfv78ouOTJ

den Broeder et al. Follow-up to REDO study. Ultra-low dose RTX non-inferior for DAS28CRP. 1000mg 2.2 (2.0-2.4), 500mg 2.2 (2.1-2.4), 200mg 2.3 (2.2-2.5) (all given 6-monthly). Small effect by received dose though (0.15 per 1000mg) @RheumNow #EULAR2022 POS0652 https://t.co/hfSw9ndQpk

Campaniello et al. Ultra-low dose RTX (500/1000mg once a year) vs low dose RTX (500/1000mg 6-monthly) for maintenance in AAV. Comparable relapse free survival 22.7% vs 21.2%, lower severe infection 10.5% vs 26.8% @RheumNow #EULAR2022 POS0837 https://t.co/uBgEmhLUzv

Frisell et al. Safety b/tsDMARDs from 10 years ARTIS. There is a mass of interesting data here, look at that figure! Higher rates of discontinuation due to AEs for tofa, bari, sari, rituximab. May be explained by chanelling and residual confounding @RheumNow #EULAR2022 POS0637 https://t.co/KrspU6c9Cs
