TCZ vs ABA head-to-head in #RA after 1-2 prior b/tsDMARDs: SUNSTAR RCT (n=224) didn't hit its primary endpoint (CDAI change at wk 26, p=0.11). But composite response (treatment persistence + LDA + steroid-sparing) favored TCZ: 50.5% vs 35% (p=0.034). @RheumNow #EULAR2026 OP0205

MTX PO split dose MTX (15mg AM + 10mg PM) vs SC in early seropositive #RA in SCOOT RCT (n=252): SC MTX had better EULAR response at 16 wks (OR 0.55, p=0.049) and ↑ transaminitis with oral split. SC MTX remains the preferred route above 15mg/wk. @RheumNow #EULAR2026 OP0206
