      #MITIGATE subgroup analysis: Inebilizumab reduced flares & boosted remission across all #IgG4-RD subgroups. HR for flare vs PBO: 0.12-0.16 across sex/race. Similar results for all subgroups in achieving flare-free, treatment-free complete remission. @RheumNow #EULAR2025 #OP0189

      Two recent studies suggest there is no significant benefit of early biologics over standard step-up care with methotrexate2,3, but these did not select for poor prognosis.

      2-year #MANDARA data: Benralizumab shows durable remission, eosinophil suppression & OGC-sparing in EGPA. ~62-68% in remission at wk104. Low relapse rate, no loss of asthma control or decline of lung function. No new safety signals. @RheumNow #EULAR2025 #OP0166 https://t.co/kXh2q2ilJF

      #EULAR2025 Abstr#OP0006. There is no standardised definition for complete renal response in #lupus nephritis. Post-hoc analysis of REGENCY showed Obinutuzumab + SOC was superior to PBO + SOC if endpoints for voclosporin and belimumab RCTs were used. Effect size ~13-16% @RheumNow https://t.co/q8MNAV8XF3

      In vitro, balinatunfib (TNFR1-selective inhibitor) preserved Treg expansion in CD4+ T cells co-cultured with IL-2 and memTNF (Treg 8.99 percent, p<0.0001), unlike adalimumab and etanercept which reduced Tregs by 27.5 to 41 percent.

      Phase 3 of POETYK-PsA-2: -Deucravacitinib (oral TyK2i) met the primary endpoint of ACR20 at week 16 and was superior to placebo in multiple PsA domains. -Clinical efficacy maintained until week 52. -No major safety signals reported. -Notably high placebo response rates. Abstract

      POS0627: RA patients aged ≥90 yrs can benefit from biologics/JAKi! In 3,600 pts, 84% of those ≥90 achieved low disease activity, 71% were on JAKi. But serious infections occurred in 21%—mostly pneumonia. Use w/caution in the oldest-old. #EULAR2025 @rheumnow
