RCT of #upadacitinib in #GCA
It works to steroid spare
15 mg > 7.5 mg in outcomes
Both >>placebo
Ethically PBO had slower #prednisone taper
Similar to #TCZ data
What to choose in GCA
IL6i?
IL17i?
JAKi?

The final day of EULAR 2024 was rich in posters, Late-breaking oral presentations and EULAR updates and recommendations. Below is a synopsis of the half-day's action.
A clinical trial in early axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) demonstrated sustained inactive disease status in over 60% of patients. In axSpA patients with less than 1 year of disease symptoms, male sex, abstinence from smoking and lower BASDAI score at baseline were associated with higher chances of remission. Despite stable inactive disease state successfully induced by medication, drug-free remission in axSpA remains challenging.
There are a number of diseases where new biologic and targeted synthetic therapeutic options are coming online, and the temptation will be to consider them all equally. GCA is one of those diseases.

THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN DEPRESSION AND BIOLOGIC PRESCRIBING IN AXIAL SPONDYLOARTHRITIS (axSpA): LESSONS FROM AN IRISH axSpA COHORT more likely to have peripheral arthritis enthesitis psoriasis - shoukd we be formally assessing eg Beck’s DI @RheumNow #EULAR2024
