After failure of a first TNFi in axSpA, #OP0235 from ROC-SpA trial found no superiority of switching to an IL-17A inhibitor over cycling to second TNFi. ASAS40 responses at Week 24 similar with both strategies, supporting individualised treatment decisions. #EULAR2026 @RheumNow

Catching up with the “Optimising care in SpA” at #EULAR2026 #OP0234 Phase 3 OLINGUITO trial showed filgotinib significantly improved ASAS40 responses vs PBO in both radiographic and non-radiographic axSpA by Week 16, with responses maintained through Week 52. @RheumNow #EULARBest https://t.co/axn6Zv52RA

What to use in #RA #IL6i v #abatacept post #TNFi-IR?
H2H #TCZ v #Abatacept
Same on primary outcome
#CDAI change wk26
BUT
If #monoRx TCZ better
Better retention #TCZ
So you decide which is better! Equal v some advantages w #tocilizumab

TCZ vs ABA head-to-head in #RA after 1-2 prior b/tsDMARDs: SUNSTAR RCT (n=224) didn't hit its primary endpoint (CDAI change at wk 26, p=0.11). But composite response (treatment persistence + LDA + steroid-sparing) favored TCZ: 50.5% vs 35% (p=0.034). @RheumNow #EULAR2026 OP0205
