      Treat-to-target in inflammatory arthritis recommended by every guideline. Followed in only 40% of SpA visits. The main reason was activity simply wasn’t documented using a validated index. You can’t target what you don’t measure. Abstr 0351 @ RheumNow #EULAR2026 #axSpA #PsA https://t.co/VAcoZfCXsR
      At EULAR 2026, two large phase 3 studies highlight that the JAK story in axSpA is still evolving rapidly, with different selectivity profiles and expanding global development programs continuing to push the field forward.

      CyTOF reveals significant sexual dimorphism in monocyte populations in active #axSpA Women show reduced classical and non-classical monocytes vs healthy controls. Men do not show the same pattern. Sex is not just a demographic variable in AxSpA it is also an immunological one.
