Many drugs in the pipeline for #Systemic_Sclerosis
In particular, stay tuned for:
🔺Nerandomilast (PDE4i) in ILD
🔺CAR T cells (obviously): big RCT trials planned
🔺Bispecific T cell engagers: Teclistamab

103 patients with ICI-induced inflammatory arthritis. 37.9% died during follow-up.
Maximum prednisone dose above 20mg to treat rheumatologic immune-related adverse events was associated with significantly worse overall survival HR 2.35 (95% CI 1.18–4.69, p=0.015). Cumulative https://t.co/vAmIAH7B64

#OP0349 Higher pericoronary fat attenuation (PCATa) in RA vs controls, with PCATa assoc with coronary plaque burden only in RA. Suggests coronary inflammation may precede overt plaque changes; supports PCATa as potential CV inflammation biomarker in RA. #EULAR2026 @RheumNow

#OP0348 CT-based analysis in RA showed increased subcutaneous and intermuscular fat plus reduced muscle quality versus non-RA comparators, despite similar BMI-adjusted muscle area and visceral fat. Highlights “hidden” adverse body composition changes in RA. #EULAR2026 @RheumNow

Optical spectral transmission (OST) a non-invasive light-based scan of hand joints monitored inflammatory arthritis activity over time in 60 patients, 1,312 joints.
OST correlated with DAS28-CRP (r=0.500, p<0.001), swollen joint count (r=0.535, p<0.001), and AUC 0.781 for https://t.co/AHrybe1Rrn

#OP0347 In CCP-positive at-risk individuals with MSK symptoms, MRI-detected hand tenosynovitis independently predicted progression to IA (HR 1.21), alongside US positivity (HR 2.77). MRI added little predictive value in patients with negative US findings. #EULAR2026 @RheumNow

#OP0346 In clinically suspect arthralgia, US missed ~3/4 cases of tenosynovitis detected by modified Dixon MRI. Compared to mDixon MRI, US sensitivity was 23%; specificity remained 100%.

The RADIAL study integrates point-of-care ultrasound into the diagnostic work-up for suspected inflammatory arthritis. 601 patients, 6 diagnoses, 1 algorithm.
Result: NPV above 90% for most diagnoses. The Double Contour sign for gout: OR 52.66. PPV for RA: 0.85.
