Management and prognosis of RP by @Lupusreference
1. Pts with mild disease respond to GCs
2. NSAIDs/colchicine good alternatives
3. Most common biologics used: TNFi and IL6i
4. Consider CYP in life threatening dz/ICU pts
5. Dynamic CT assess tracheal collapse.
6. PET-CT can ≠ https://t.co/PNUecMZvkT

Results from open label
extension of BE-OPTIMAL:
-Bimekizumab in bDMARD naïve pts showed sustained efficacy after 1y until 3y.
-No significant major tolerability issues or major SE.

ICI-PMR irAEs are sometimes underestimated compared to inflamm arthritis, but why?
ICI-IA and ICI-PMR look different, but at @HSpecialSurgery, steroid needs and disease impact for both are basically the same. Let’s not devalue either

In 5 #SLE pts treated with CC312, a novel CD19/CD3/CD28 tri-specific ab in dose escalation showed rapid & B-cell depletion & all achieved SRI-4. No =>G2 CRS or ICANS.

LEVI-04 (neutrophin-3 inhibitor presented as #ACR24 late-breaker in knee OA)
more good efficacy data, no rapidly progressive OA safety signal.
For us clinicians: impressive impact size, esp relative to alternatives.
Finally, something that works??

Highlights from today included presentations on imaging in vasculitis, a debate on whether to treat high risk pre-clinical RA, and EULAR Recommendations on a) Treatment of interstitial lung disease (ILD); b) Physical Activity in people with arthritis; and c) EULAR disease activity score for antiphospholipid syndrome and d) the management of SLE nephritis. Below are a few others that caught my eye today.

In 631 axSpA pts (mean age 33y, 54% female) from DESIR cohort, high-dose NSAID use (ASAS NSAID index ≥50) not associated with incident hypertension (HR 1.01; 95% CI 0.98–1.02) over 72 months. NSAID anti-inflammatory effect may offset BP risk in axSpA. Abstract#POS0256 @RheumNow https://t.co/ELYWoJDyKJ

#Lupus pts on HCQ monoRx & low #SLEDAI were followed

HCQ cytokine sigs May vary over time

#TDM for #HCQ warns of #toxic #levels in #CRF
v low GFR <30, <60, <90, >90
400mg/d all in low GFR toxic
200mg/d 25% in low GFR toxic
6mg/kg/d – low GFR is too ⬆️
adjust HCQ dose for pts with CRF

Procalcitonin can be used in the monitoring of infection, but is also high in Stills disease. 89 AOSD pts showed pts w high PCT had more pleuritis, MAS,^LFTs, & correlated w/ Dz activity, CRP, LDH, hi ferritin & normalized w bDMARD Rx. #EULAR2025 abstr #POS1118 https://t.co/NpRA9optd3
