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

🏠 Take Home Messages from the early #axSpA session
🔺 Earlier diagnosis is possible and better
🔺 Early axSpA is not synonymous to mild
🔺 Longitudinally, early axSpA is heterogeneous
🔺 MRI has transformed the field
❗️Beware of pitfalls

#EULAR2026 LB0002 More great news for dual IL17A and -F blockade. An open label Phase II study of Sonelokimab, a novel IL-17A- and IL-17F-inhibiting Nanobody'-3 in #axSpA: clinical efficacy, improvement in PROM and imaging inflammation. Looking forward to the RCT phase @RheumNow https://t.co/Xtxa8fALzN

LB0002: Sonelokimab (IL-17A/F Nanobody, ~40 kDa) in #axSpA Phase 2: 81% ASAS40 and 54% ASAS partial remission at 12 weeks. Mean ASDAS improvement of −2.0 from baseline. @RheumNow #EULAR2026 https://t.co/TjvtnFPCdj
ASAS and the SPARTAN have updated their key classification criteria for axial SpA (axSpA). EULAR has also recently revised their recommendations on the role of imaging in the diagnosis and clinical management of spondyloarthritis (SpA). Both were presented at the EULAR 2026 annual Congress in London.

Even with tight T2T, ARCTIC 10yr follow-up (n=170) show 9% had RA-ILD on HRCT, plus another 19% with non-specific interstitial findings. Male sex and older age were risk factors. Seropositivity was not. Vigilance remains essential. @RheumNow #EULAR2026 POS1270
The approach to the treatment of peripheral SpA has been the same for a long time. The guidelines recommend starting with NSAIDs, escalate to conventional synthetic DMARDs, typically sulfasalazine or methotrexate and reserve biologics for patients who fail those. According to a new phase 3 trial presented at EULAR 2026, there may be a different way to approach this.
