#EULAR2026 POS0079 Phase I study of “Off-the-Shelf” CD19 CAR-T FT819 in N=13 #SLE pts with/-out LN reported favourable efficacy and safety particularly with Bendamustine conditioning. Advantages: scalable and requires minimal or no conditioning. Will move on to Phase II @RheumNow https://t.co/2rt646Qf0T

ClearMEMory: Ph2 RCT evaluating memantine for tx of cognitive impairment in SLE using RBANS as outcome measure
MEM grp had sig. higher change in RBANS TIScore upto wk 12 vs. PBO, esp. immediate memory index score
Potential adjunct tx for NPSLE?

@RheumNow WIN Nutrition session at #EULAR2026 (3)
6.🍟 High UPF intake → increased RA risk (HR 1.06/SD), partly mediated by CRP. Not all NOVA-4 foods are equal
7.💊 Vit D supplementation significantly reduces SLE disease activity — MA of 10 RCTs, SMD −0.54 (p<0.00001).

🐟 n-3 PUFAs reduce RA risk by 9–10% per SD increase — especially in genetically high-risk individuals.
🫒 Mediterranean diet reduces RA risk by 25% (HR 0.75) & SLE risk by 39% (HR 0.61) in UK Biobank studies.

EULAR works with the network of national organisations of People with Arthritis/Rheumatism in Europe (PARE) to ensure the voices of people with RMD are heard and have influence – creating powerful alliances that make a real difference. Artificial intelligence is another potential ally in that fight. At the EULAR 2026 Congress in London, work was presented from three PARE initiatives that showcase how digital tools can be used in treatment

Smoking is a challenge in D2T skin #lupus due to data showing that smoking reduces efficacy of antimalarials & worsens dse act & damage.
