Key messages in the tx of ax/p-SpA:
>csDMARDs only effective in pSpA
>consider individualized treatment for bDMARDs and JAKis
>Cycling TNFi equally effective to switching

What is the @Official_ASAS recommended instrument for evaluating peripheral disease activity in axial and peripheral spondyloarthritis?
👉 DAPSA44
✔️Good construct validity
✔️ High discriminatory capacity

Not just ticking boxes!
Prof. Rudwaleit on the revised 2025 ASAS/SPARTAN criteria for axSpA
What’s new?
Providing a stem so criteria will be applied only if w/SpA dx, not just imaging
MRI:active inflamm + structural lesions
Some SpA features omitted

Large French nationwide cohort (n=56,591 SpA patients) showed that >6 months/year of targeted therapy exposure was associated with reduced overall cancer risk (wHR 0.86), especially for haematological malignancies (wHR 0.65). Reassuring long-term safety signal. Abstr OP0238

The axSpA classification has been revised with the 2025 ASAS SPARTAN criteria. 5 abstracts at #EULAR2026 Abstr OP0236, OP0100, OP0239, POS0190 and POS1341.
The single most important change in the 2025 criteria: MRI is now the highest-weighted variable and what counts as a https://t.co/xg4R4xRH2D

SPARTAN-SSR: New quantitative criteria: BME in ≥3 consecutive slices OR any two of (BME, Erosion, Fat lesion each in ≥3 SIJ quadrants) or ankylosis in ≥3 halves achieves 88-96% sensitivity and 90-98% specificity across 3 cohorts. Precision #axSpA imaging. Abstr OP0100

Gecacitinib (pan-JAK inhibitor) vs placebo in radiographic #axSpA ASAS40 51.9% vs 12.9% (p<0.0001) at 16 weeks. ASAS20 69.2% vs 21.2% (p<0.0001). Pan-JAK inhibition showed efficacy in TNFi-experienced patients. Abstr OP0240 @RheumNow #EULAR2026

Does sequential therapy infliximab —> tofacitinib outperform tofa alone in axSpA?
Yes: faster remission at week 4 (84.6% vs 15%)
But: equal at week 24

Long-term or recurrent antibiotic use in childhood associated w doubled risk of axSpA in HLA-B27+ individuals

Recall bias? Yes but self-reported exposure validated with primary care data

In this posthoc analysis of pooled data from BE MOBILE 1&2, BKZ showed ⬆️clinical imprvements vs. PBO at 1 yr regardless of age, BMI, HLAB27 status & CRP.
At wk 52, ASAS40/ASDAS <2.1 was higher in pts w/BKZ who were ≤35y, BMI ≥25–<30 or HLA-B27+

Double targeted therapy in refractory SpA/PsA.
76 patients, 17 Spanish centres, up to 6 years follow-up. Median 4 prior biologics.
Remission achieved in 55.6% during follow-up. 28.6% in remission at final visit.
ASDAS improved significantly from 3 months, sustained to 5 https://t.co/g1IPstYYuX
