Topical treatments have so often been the low level “sure you can try this” option. However there are exciting data that these approaches may become part of our main armamentarium.

#Bestinclass. #Giantcellarteritis GCA lots of novel ideas. V short prednisone- 2 months with #Tocilizumab. Not RCT. Looked safe & effective but too small to know if blindness etc are increased. Don’t suggest you try this at home...yet! @RheumNow @eular_org #EULAR2022 OP0185

#Bestinclass Recurrent #PMR RCT of #sarilumab v placebo. Nearly doubles sustained remission but maybe attenuating effect - flare difference over time? N=118. 🤷♀️ Dunno who I would use it in yet. LB0006 @RheumNow @eular_org #EULAR2022

Positive study NUT when to use the Rx? PMR RCTof 1 g #rituximab once. Over 1 yr with more steroid free remission - curves separate by 21 weeks (steroids off) POS0269 @RheumNow @eular_org #EULAR2023 when to use it-COVID risk, ?prefer IL6i
Urate lowering therapy (ULT) is the backbone therapy for long-term gout treatment and maintenance, but real-world gout management is often imperfect and suboptimal.

ARIAA: saw 18m results #EULAR2022
(alluded to at #ACR21)
High-risk ACPA+ clinically suspect arthralgias
Didn't progress to arthritis:
after 6m abatacept: 92% vs 65%
12m after abatacept stopped: 65% vs 43%
(tighter at points)
How to pick those that benefit?
