EULAR 2024 kicked off with a fantastic debate between Janet Pope and David Liew - ‘JAK inhibitor special warnings: Can observational data debunk an RCT?’
A thought-provoking discussion summarising all aspects of the ongoing conversation on JAKi use in high-risk patients! https://t.co/MzW3jSSCfr

More data from Jak-pot, the real-world multinational RA study, this time looking at infection in 14 national registries
JAKi (vs TNFi) had no signal for general/serious infection (excluding HZ)
Somewhat reassuring post-ORAL Surveillance infection data

Effect of #RTX in preclinical #RheumatoidArthritis
RA-risk pts given 1 dose PBO or 1000mg RTX
RTX in RA-risk pts delayed onset of RA by 1yr; no benefit on QoL
Pts developing RA: RTX didn't alter PROs or disease severity when developing RA

Shingrix in upadacitinib + MTX RA, in SELECT-COMPARE RCT:
data now out to 60w
good humoral and cellular response in most, even without MTX withheld
(& good safety too)
Important for our JAKi-treated patients to get the protection they need #EULAR2024 OP0020 @RheumNow https://t.co/FqVCCwUJOg

@Janetbirdope @RheumNow #EULAR2024 JAK-i Debate
@drdavidliew (NOT in support of regulation)
- is the signal real? Query about replicability & data came from N. America. Not reflected on real-world data of enriched cohorts
- is the warning justified?
- are there unintended consequences?

Asking the quintessential Australian question at #EULAR24 by @drdavidliew - does the ORAL surveillance study for JAKi *truly* pass the pub test?

#EULAR2024 JAK-i Debate.
@Janetbirdope [Pro Regulatory Safety Measures]
- to do no harm esp since there are other alternatives
- supported by RCT
- although JAK-i have different structures, data from individual RCT + LTE showed similar rates of malignancy & MACE @RheumNow https://t.co/jQKQmHE9Fg
On the first day of EULAR 2024, I am debating Janet Pope. To make it more challenging, it’s about JAK inhibitor safety, and I have been allocated to argue against the regulatory safety warning…
Dr. Jack Cush reviews FDA approval, news and journal articles -- and it’s the week before EULAR 2024 in Vienna!!FDA has approved upadacitinib (Rinvoq), for use in pediatric patients (age >2 years…
