TOLERA trial in RA
RTX/ABA sequence versus RTX alone
10pts each group
Primary outcome was ambitious: ACPA seroconversion
No difference between ttmts (and also no seroconversion)
No diff in disease activity
No diff in ACPA change wt wk52

AMPLIFIED RCT, 300+ pts
ABA NOT (!) superior to ADA
in dual seropositive SE+ MTX IR RA pts
ACR50 rate high in both gps ABA 59% vs ADA 64%
No new safety signal
Defeating the encouraging data from smaller trials

Reminder of relevance of #Rheumatoid factor
⬆️RF also predicts
cardiovascular events ⚠️

Novel B cell depleters! Bispecific T cell engagers (BiTEs) being studied for #SLE & #RA as a way to get CAR-T cell like responses but more accessible w/less risk for CK release syndrome. #EULAR24

Nordic country analysis of mortality in RA (n 1145), RA-ILD (239), population ILD (378) & nl controls (1890) shows most mortality in pop ILD (HR 8.3), but less in RA-ILD (HR 3.6). Why is death less in latter; could it be RA therapies? Abstr #POS0022 # EULAR2025 https://t.co/wFZq49rIiW

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
