      The last day in London was exciting as both the Late-Breaking abstracts and new EULAR guidelines were presented. Guidelines presented addressed several significant unmet need areas including PMR, GCA, Takayasu’s arteritis, Vaccinations in Rheumatic patients, Imaging in spondyloarthritis and classification criteria for the Anti-Synthetase Syndrome. Here are but a few of my favorites from a list of many quality sessions.

      Updated SLR on D2T #RA (131 studies): JAKi maintain ACR20 even after 2-3 prior bDMARDs, with UPA outperforming ABA in head-to-head. But evidence on non-pharmacologic strategies in D2T RA remains nearly absent. Clear gap for future trials. @RheumNow #EULAR2026 POS1246

      Patient-initiated telemedicine follow-up cut rheumatology visits by 25% in stable #SpA, but not equally for everyone. Reductions were greatest in men, axSpA, bDMARD users, and the oldest patients (64+, 34% fewer visits). Patient-centered care delivery @RheumNow #EULAR2026 POS1345

      T2T works in elderly-onset #RA. tREACH trial (n=425): EORA (mean age 73) achieve LDA similar to young-onset RA; often with lower treatment intensity when seronegative. Drug tolerability comparable in EORA vs YORA despite more comorbidities. @RheumNow #EULAR2026 POS1326 https://t.co/tKRki2KLzP
      B-cell targeting has moved to the centre of IgG4-related disease treatment, with inebilizumab, a CD19 depleter, as the recent benchmark. At EULAR 2026, INDIGO tested whether the disease can be controlled by switching B cells off rather than depleting them.

      TMP-SMX prophylaxis cuts PJP risk by 69% (RR 0.31) & mortality by 59% (RR 0.41) in immunosuppressed rheum dz pts —but ADRs are 26x more common. NNT=323, NNH=5. Risk-adapted approach recommended. #EULAR2026 POS1190 https://t.co/4yjD9CmySM

      Abstr LB0004 CC312 is a CD19/CD3/CD28 tri-specific T cell engager and sustains SRI-4 responses beyond one year with rapid, deep B-cell depletion in autoimmune diseases. Not CAR-T. Not a conventional biologic. A T cell engager that redirects your own immune cells to deplete B https://t.co/rTs3Rg7BPe
