SELECT-Axis 2 trial and Withdrawal of Upadacitinib - Of 734 pts, 194 were in remission at wk104--> UPA w/d & 22% maintained drug-free remission for >48wks. Rest flared, median time to flare: 3.1 mos (89% regained LDA by wk24 w/ restart) #EULAR2026 #axSpA POS1350 https://t.co/7A7CAHxLxX

Risk of Parkinsons? RA patients have 28% lower Parkinson's risk vs general population (HR 0.72); axSpA had HIGHER risk (HR 1.29). Non-TNF biologics in RA reduced PD risk further (HR 0.74). No effect seen in PsA/axSpA. #EULAR2026 Abstr #POS1116 https://t.co/1vZoZGEu5Z

What happens after withdrawal of upadacitinib in patients with axSpA who achieved remission?
Data from 194 patients from the SELECT-AXIS2 RCT:
▶️ Remission maintained in 1/4 at48 weeks

#EULAR2026 LB0009 It’s like opening Pandora’s box! 2 Open Label RCTs Baricitinib vs TNF-i in RA & =>1 VTE risk:
-VTE:Non-inferiority of BARI wasn’t met (in line with JAK profile)
-No increase in MACE/Cancer (opposed to Oral-Surveillance: TOFA & =>1 MACE risk) @RheumNow #EULARBest https://t.co/nNwtJ3LbkD

#EULAR2026 LB0005 More promising news in #PMR. Phase 3 RCT of Baricitinib + GC Taper in N=46:
Part 1: BARI vs PBO 65% vs 17% GC-Free Remission at WK16
2: PBO-BARI improved response 17% to 65% at WK28
3: Lower remission rate in those stopped BARI vs continued at WK44 @RheumNow https://t.co/D77aHcACJE

Baricitinib did not demonstrate non-inferiority w/ TNFi for first VTE in the RA-BRIDGE and RA-BRANCH trials.
Identifying high-risk pts and individualizing tx is paramount.

JAK-SPARE: Ph3 RCT on baricitinib for rem induxn in early PMR.
BARI was effective vs. PBO in inducing & maintaining GC free rem.
No new safety signals.
New tx option for PMR (esp early). Decreases GC dependence & side effects.

#OP0204 #EULAR2026 Shared decision-making in practice! BACH study tested “treat by choice” in RA. Patients preferred oral JAKi over SC TNFi (55% vs 45%)
Importantly, own choice led to higher treatment satisfaction, better drug survival & fewer adverse events. @RheumNow #EULARBest https://t.co/iI1n2OGzqY
