Ph 2 RCT CPL'116 dual inhibition JAK/ROCK
106 MTX IR pts
wk12 primary endpoint met (DAS28-CRP decrease) in 240mg arm vs. PBO
75% >= AEs, SAE 2: 1 MI, 1 bladder cancer
Authors suggest absence of lipids/LFTs disruption compared to other JAKs
Ph3 is awaited!!

Combination of LEF and MTX in RA: Yay or Nay?

OP0195: MTX+LEF isn’t commonly used—but could it be a viable option after all?
In >1,100 RA pts, no link to liver fibrosis (FIB-4/APRI), modest ALT ↑, and fewer hospitalizations.
real-world safety data worth a second look.

OP0179: In a psoriasis cohort, 68% of PsA onset sites showed prior subclinical inflammation (26% tender, 32% US+, 42% both).
Should we redefine when PsA truly begins?

ACQUIVAS: RTX-treated AAV patients had poor response to #pneumococcal vaccine PCV-13 (8% vs 45% in non-RTX). Boosting w/ PPV-23 helped a few but 48% failed to mount robust response. Time to rethink vaccine strategies in RTX-treated patients?

Premature death in RA still exists, and varies according to race/ethnicity demographic groups
Nationwide US CDC's MCoD database analysis
-Mortality rates
11x higher American Indians
3x higher Black or African American people
-Median age at death with RA
9-10 years younger https://t.co/FTRWPk7Wz0

#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.

RA-related premature mortality highest in American Indians--> 3.6x odds of death in <65 vs White peers, w/ no improvement over 22 yrs. COVID widened the gap. Need to address structural & social drivers of early death in RA, & wider health disparities.

Yes, it is relevant to ask patients about physical joint strain in RA and propose strain specific interventions
In ACPA+ RA pts for each 10% increase in strain, 7% increase in SJC44 and 5% MRI inflammation

We should address patients anxiety at RA diagnosis:
cohort 250+ newly diagnosed RA pts
-49% reported anxiety
-41% by 3 months
Anxiety asso w/ CDAI, PROs and 3-5 fold increase in prescription of bio/tsDMARDs
Analysis reasonably adjusted

BioDMARDs reduce polyimmunity in RA
Danish Registry based cohort study 5 yrs follow up
25000+ pts
Polyimmunity in csDMARDs treated group 2.2% vs. 1.7% in bioDMARDs group
HR 0.74
Most frequent autoimmune thyroid disease

In D2T-PsA (10%), 57% had persistent inflammation (PIPsA), 43% non-inflammatory (NIPsA). Ultrasound distinguished phenotypes: median US activity score 3.22 vs 0.88.,swollen joints 2.5 vs 0, tender points higher in NIPsA.

Nordic registries (n=13,872): D2T-PsA varied 37% (≥2 b/tsDMARDs failed) to 0.6% (strictest). Female predominance increased with therapy failures (≥4 failures: 67% female). Median time to failure: 5–7 years.

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.
