Dr. Jack Cush reviews the news, journal reports and best ways to review EULAR 2026.
Much of the meeting came for the next CAR T readout. AB-101 drew attention for a different reason. It depletes B cells by a completely different route.

Abstr LB0003
Off-the-shelf allogeneic NK cell therapy + rituximab in refractory RA, Sjögren disease, and systemic sclerosis. 31 patients. Outpatient administered.
RA at 6 months: 71% ACR50, mean CDAI change −36.8. SSc: 100% rCRISS25 response. SjD: 86% ClinESSDAI responders. https://t.co/60046jgYia

Interesting data on the effect of AB-101 + RTX on refractory RA, SSc and SjD.
Curious about long term results and potential position in tx strategies

CAR-T without the CAR-T risks?
AB-101, an off-the-shelf NK cell therapy + RTX, delivered in refractory RA, Sjögren, and SSc (n=31): RA ACR50 71%, SSc mRSS -9.5, SjD ClinESS DAI -8.6 at 6 mo. Outpatient delivery without CAR-T associated AEs? @RheumNow #EULAR2026 LB0003 https://t.co/xi6ZdLwHcN

#EULAR2026 LB0003 CAR-T is not scalable. In a Phase 2a of off-the-shelf AB-101 allogenic NK + low dose conditioning (Cyclo & Flud) + Rituximab: preliminary efficacy & safety profile in severe-refractory RA (N=15), SjD (11), SSc (5). Longer FU & Comparator is needed @RheumNow https://t.co/gQniufREQC

OMRF study: Anti-Ro neg Sjögren’s patients share similar molecular profiling as anti-Ro positive pts: innate immune signaling, immune cell activation, inflammation, autophagy, apoptosis, and metabolic dysregulation pathways #EULAR2026 @RheumNow https://t.co/zJm6EbpyIB
