The last day in London was exciting as both the Late-Breaking abstracts and new EULAR guidelines were presented. Guidelines presented addressed several significant unmet need areas including PMR, GCA, Takayasu’s arteritis, Vaccinations in Rheumatic patients, Imaging in spondyloarthritis and classification criteria for the Anti-Synthetase Syndrome. Here are but a few of my favorites from a list of many quality sessions.

#OP0156 #EULAR2026 FT839, CART therapy targeting CD19 & CD38, showed potent depletion of pathogenic B cells, plasmablasts/plasma cells & activated T cells, w/o conditioning chemotherapy. Data suggest potentially more accessible CART approach across autoimmune diseases. @RheumNow https://t.co/9COyXbghkl

Updated SLR on D2T #RA (131 studies): JAKi maintain ACR20 even after 2-3 prior bDMARDs, with UPA outperforming ABA in head-to-head. But evidence on non-pharmacologic strategies in D2T RA remains nearly absent. Clear gap for future trials. @RheumNow #EULAR2026 POS1246

Does #RA accelerate age-related functional decline in older adults? STAR study (n=421, age 55-85): RA with worse HAQ, grip strength, but aging's effect on function similar in RA vs controls. Geriatric syndromes like sarcopenia may matter more than RA @RheumNow #EULAR2026 POS0360
