Over 70% of patients with PsA struggle with excess weight, amplifying synovio-entheseal inflammation and blunting biologic response. The rapid uptake of GLP-1RAs in rheumatology has raised an urgent mechanistic question: are clinical gains in PsA driven purely by weight reduction, or do these agents carry intrinsic anti-inflammatory properties? EULAR 2026 offered six abstracts that together illuminate, without fully resolving, this question.

#EULAR2026 OP028 In 16 patients with AID (SSc,IIM, RA, IgG4,SjD, Grave’s), CD3xBCMA BiTE, Teclistamab was effective in 15/16. Duration of GC & DMARD-free was 11 mths. 2/16 need retreatment. All had low IgG and needed IVIG. Need long-term safety data & comparative study @RheumNow https://t.co/97MUPnXRua

The first two days of EULAR 2026 have delivered a flood of new data, late-breaking science, and clinical insights. Don't spend hours sorting through hundreds of abstracts; RheumNow will do it for you.

Interesting pilot study using line-field confocal OCT for CLE
The “virtual biopsy” identified distinct layer-specific patterns across diff CLE subtypes including distinctions

#OP0114 at #EULAR2026: Spanish study finds marked regional disparities in premature mortality from systemic connective tissue diseases. Higher socioeconomic deprivation and longer waits for specialist care were both linked to worse outcomes. @RheumNow https://t.co/04we2H0wdb

TOGETHER-PsA :ACR50 was already significantly higher with IXE+TZP as early as Week 4 (11.1% vs 3.9%, p=0.029). The metabolic and anti-inflammatory effects of GLP-1/GIP agonism may act synergistically Abstr#069 @RheumNow #EULAR2026 https://t.co/NBQ6CccuCn

You CAN identify #ILD in #rheumatic #diseases
🔜early
With a brief #questionnaire
Ask re
➡️dry cough
➡️dyspnea
➡️smoking
Not sensitive but high #specificity
Is it too late?
Maybe chest #auscultation at the #bases would be better?
🤷
