#EULAR2023 #OP0139 Should we aim for dual blockade in #lupus? A Phase 2 RCT showed more patients on ABBV-599 HD (elsubrutinib (BTK-i) + Upadacitinib (JAK-i)) and UPA monotherapy met primary & secondary endpoints vs Placebo at 48Wks. No major malignancy or VTE concerns @RheumNow https://t.co/HEUbkzZwyl

JAKi are NOT associated w worse safety vs bDMARDs when adjusting for confounding. Did regulators get it wrong? #EULAR2023 @RheumNow #OP0116 https://t.co/ZNk0NI7Ky5

#JAKi May decrease #cancers - age, male, #diabetes had more #cancer but NOT associated w drug prescribed AND LESS #malignancy & LESS #CVE in JAKi vs csDMARDs in huge admin database. Diff from other results OP0140 @RheumNow #EULAR2023 EFFECTIVE Rx of RA LOWERS CVE & cancer w JAKi! https://t.co/oQ3QeUZz3E

Metanalysis of 62 RCTs, 16 LTEs, 82 366 Pt-Yrs JAK exposure. JAKi malignancy incid rate = 1.15/100 PYs in RCTs (1.26/100PYs overall). Network meta-analyses show no diff betw JAK & PBO or MTX in NMSC, but signif increased malignancy risk (IRR 1.50) https://t.co/kk12pa17Nn https://t.co/qEcRatKRSf

#EULAR2023 #OP0053 Baricitinib in non-renal #lupus were inconclusive. How about Renal #SLE?An RCT showed primary endpoint (=>50% reduction in proteinuria) was met more in Bari vs Cyclo at Wks12 & 24. Intriguing but need longer-term, composite endpoint and larger size! @RheumNow https://t.co/z3YJog6gTy
