#EULAR2026 OP0166 In a phase III RCT in dermatomyositis, brepocitinib, first in class selective SyK-i and JAK1-i showed rapid meaningful improvement in cutaneous DM as early as Week 4 vs PBO. Exciting option and is under FDA Priority Review for approval @RheumNow #EULARBest https://t.co/9b0WurgBkN

Mean disease duration in the tofacitinib arm was just 0.57 years since diagnosis. This is genuinely early #axSpA and JAK1 inhibition achieves near-remission rates above placebo. An oral option for early axSpA Abstr#0241 @RheumNow #EUlAR2026

Tofacitinib achieved ASDAS inactive disease in 26.4% of patients with early #axSpA (back pain ≤2 years) vs 7.4% placebo at 16 weeks (p=0.006). First RCT of advanced therapy in very early axSpA Abstr#0241 @RheumNow #EULAR2026
People with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMD) are at risk of a number of comorbidities, from cardiovascular diseases to cognitive impairment and fractures. The 2026 EULAR Congress showcased new data and ideas around various comorbidities and drug safety issues in people with an RMD – highlighting the need for integrated care. Here are five abstracts to consider.

What if we let RA patients choose ttmt?
BACH RCT choice between Filgo / scTNFi vs. standard randomisation
55% JAKi vs 45% TNFi
Higher ttmt satisfaction 46 vs 33 p=0.012
Less ttmt switches 6 vs 15 p=0.026
Less AE reported
Better drug survival
Shared decision making is key! https://t.co/1YS0y6YUEH

Does ASA protect against JAKi-associated VTE in #RA? Swedish data (n=26,116): No. JAKi VTE risk remained elevated vs TNFi regardless of concomitant ASA or DOAC use. NSAIDs showed a non-significant trend toward protection. @RheumNow #EULAR2026 POS0068

📈 Do SIJ lesions progress in #axSpA?
DESIR cohort (n=649, 10yrs):
Yes, slowly, but bDMARDs reduce erosion progression

Few topics in rheumatology have reshaped prescribing behaviour as dramatically as the safety concerns surrounding JAK inhibitors following ORAL Surveillance and the subsequent FDA and EMA warnings.

Cancer risk with JAK inhibitors remains a major focus at #EULAR2026. In #OP086, analysis from 14 international RA registries and >60000 treatment courses found no statistically significant increase in overall or subtype-specific malignancy risk with JAKi versus TNFi. @RheumNow https://t.co/JeOmTufYwo

#OP085 from Sweden adds more real-world data to the JAKi safety discussion at #EULAR2026. In >26000 RA treatment initiations, JAKis were associated with higher VTE risk vs TNFi (HR 1.89), with similar findings persisting in 2021-2024 data. @RheumNow https://t.co/YRjPNZ8mmo

What is new in PsA?
Dennis McGonagle's take at #EULAR2026
-a strong year for discovery in mechanisms of transition from PSO to PsA
-publication of the first single cell atlas Enthesis
-Better understanding of VTE mechanisms in JAKi in PsA
-clinical aspects of Axial involvement https://t.co/v9cfn1y4fH
