The key data for treating clinically suspect arthralgias (CSA):
TREAT-EARLIER (MTX)
ARIAA, APIPPRA (abatacept)
but what we need to do going forward:
stratify pts better for studies
predict individual risk better, to weight up risk-benefit of intervention

#EULAR2023 #POS1207 Promising therapy for dermatomyositis. Data from Stage One of Phase 2 RCT (N=18) showed Anti-IFN Beta mAb improved clinical, PROs, extra-muscular activity and reduced CK levels vs Placebo. No cases of HZV. One to watch out in the next few years @RheumNow https://t.co/Oh8sZlMzUt

For our rheum patients who have had cancer previously - the default can’t be to not have DMARDs.
@eular_org points to consider SLR:
no clear risk, across b/tsDMARDs
For too long these patients were unnecessarily asked to ride it out. No more please

Retro French database study shows reassuring data.
Overall mortality after IRAEs =similar between pts receiving b/tsDMARDs vs. those who don't
70000+ pts treated w/ ICI, 7800+ IRAEs (most frequent colitis) & 330 treated w/ b/tsDMARDs, 10% Rheum IRAE

#EULAR2023 #POS1075 Which biologics have the lowest retention rate in Elderly patients (=>65 yrs) in Rheumatoid Arthritis? Data from Italian registry showed 1/3 discontinued biologics at 2 yrs. IL6-i: lowest persistence; Abatacept: highest @RheumNow https://t.co/28n4qzR3aM

Day 2 at the international EULAR Congress meeting is always bigger and busier. There were sessions on JIA therapies, crystal arthritis, novel drugs for SLE and Sjogren's, early RA and preclinical RA interventions, IgG4 disease, osteoporosis and the growth and application of artificial intelligence in medicine and rheumatology.
