      CAR-T Cell Therapies in Refractory RMD Current therapies for rheumatoid arthritis rely on sustained immunosuppression

      CAR-T Cell Therapies in Refractory RMD Current therapies for rheumatoid arthritis rely on sustained immunosuppression rather than restoration of immune tolerance, with off-drug remission remaining rare. Recent anecdotal reports suggest that CD19-directed CAR-T cell therapy may https://t.co/lXX5RjEw6a

      Treatment-refractory RA is more common than we sometimes admit. Roughly 11% of patients fail multiple b/tsDMARD classes, and for the ACPA-positive subset, rituximab has long been the fallback. It works, but it rarely produces durable disease-free intervals. CD19 CAR T-cell therapy was always going to be the question that followed the SLE data. Until EULAR 2026, that question had no prospective answer. The plenary session changed that.
