#EULAR2023 #OP0142 From #Lupus to #Sjogren. A phase 2 RCT in China showed more patients on Telitacicept (BAFF/APRIL-i) achieved significant reduction in ESSDAI at Wk24 vs PBO. Trend to improvement in glandular function. Intriguing option & will await Phase 3 global RCT @RheumNow https://t.co/BCiohuAfP3

JAKi have superior effectiveness at 6 months compared to TNFi and the efficacy was similar in those with and and without safety risk (increased age, CV risk, smoker) by Hannah Bower, Abst#0133 #EULAR2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/Pt6EoN6323

The overall risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease were decreased in RA treated with JAKi but there was no comparison with TNFi, Sung Soo Ahn, Abst#00132 #EULAR2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/9Bi6t6uuig

Biologic dose reduction based on disease activity resulted in 40% reduction in TNFi and did not seem to cause disease deterioration from the 10 year DRESS Study by N van Herwaarden, Abst#OP00131 #EULAR2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/ncGPF9ODcF

In insufficient responders, additional Etanercept for 24 weeks (bio-induction) did not show a higher response of DAS28-CRP compared to the standard COBRA-SLIM regime from the CARERA2020 study by Delphine Bertrand, Abstr#00129 #EULAR2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/BR1GusPGRP

Get Un ‘DRESSED’? Use of #etanercept or #adalimumab for #rheumatoidarthritis. #RCT of dose optimization-observational f/u over 10 yrs with attempts to lower and even d/c Rx in #RA You CAN lower dose in many Pts & even d/c Rx and recapture. X-rays OK @RheumNow #EULAR2023 #OP0131 https://t.co/PGK5SQJ1WU

How much MTX do we need with adalimumab in RA? Can blood concentrations help?
MTX RBC polygluts:
- don’t seem to match to efficacy
- do seem match to safety, a bit
(no ADAb data here)
*One day* we’ll get better at what MTX dose is needed with TNFi #EULAR2023 OP0128 @RheumNow https://t.co/OGM3hxr4fG

In the last 2 years, there has been more caution and vigilance with the use of JAK inhibitors in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis due to the risk of CV events, including MACE and VTE. The ORAL surveillance study, a post-approval safety study conducted in RA patients aged ≥50 years with ≥1 CV risk factor, has resulted in increased caution and greater emphasis on assessment of MACE and VTE risks in patients starting JAK inhibitors.

New benefit/risk outlook 👀 on ORAL surveillance
2 subgrps:
🟢RA w/ no previous Hx of atherosclerotic CV dis = TOFA at least as good as TNFi
AND risk of MACE is comparable 🛑RA w/ HxASCVD = efficacy TOFA = TNFi AND > risk of MACE
