Herpes Zoster vaccination in RA patients treated with Upadacitinib and MTX showed a satisfactory response,
slight reduction in response compared to general population in both antibody and cell mediated responses Winthrop K, Abst#OP0225 #EULAR2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/wxwbOYsn5K

So what kind of changes do we see in ACPA+ arthralgia patients, in the 6 months prior to them developing inflamm arthritis?
- ACPA titre up, RF pos
- EMS, pain up
- ESR up
Good things to keep an eye on in pre-RA

‘Where have all the rheumatoid nodules gone?’
(Fantastic poster title @MayoClinic)
Don’t get to see them much in clinic anymore. Almost surprised when I do
Smoking is down
Therapies are better
RA is changing
(a fact worth remembering!)

#EULAR2023 #POS1069 SLR & meta-analysis to inform EULAR Points to Consider which included 15 studies showed that targeted therapies were not associated with increased risk of cancer recurrence in patients with inflammatory arthritis AND a historyof cancer (85% had RA) @RheumNow https://t.co/uK2XHLjpj8

‘Clinically suspect arthralgias: fact or myth’ - a great debate topic #EULAR2023
First, the argument for. And we start with a reminder as to what we really mean by CSA

To treat or not? Clinically suspect arthralgia does affect QoL including function. Both premises of treating with a DMARD are valid. OverRx v missing the very early window of opportunity @RheumNow #EULAR2023 @eular_org https://t.co/86CVZ2IjEf

Should we use #immunesuppression EARLY in #scleroderma to prevent #ILD? Answer from a study comparing Y vs N immune suppression- there was no difference in FVC decline. Maybe not a long enough study, ? Chanelling bias scleroderma #lung #disease OP0239 @RheumNow #EULAR2023

A single arm Phase 2a study showed Zetomipozomib, selective immunoproteosome-i + MMF showed about 2/3 pts met =>50% reduction in uPCR at WK24.

50% reduction of RF levels
& Complete seroconversion at M3 predicts LDA and Remission at M6 to M24 period after treatment initiation.
RF responders reach LDA/Rem faster.
Exciting data but... SDAI remains the stronger predictor of response at M3

We worried that JAKi + MTX might impair Shingrix efficacy, esp given JAKi HZ risk
Shingrix nested in upa RCT:
Response (seroconversion rate, titres, cellular response) less than gen pop, but still very good
+ only 2/95 had RA flares
Vaccinate away!
