What does avacopan mean for sustained remission in AAV? New post-hoc from ADVOCATE - keeping in mind the avacopan was instead of steroids. Impressive numbers, so increasingly the questions will be about strategy and cost? #EULAR2022 @RheumNow https://t.co/B4y8jZiHf5

🚨 Study on MTX and male fertility Analysis of semen parameters in 🙋🏼‍♂️HC 🙋🏼‍♂️RA, PsA and PsO MTX naive 🙋🏼‍♂️Post MTX Reassuring data as NO significant effect of MTX was observed on several semen parameters. #EULAR2022 @RheumNow OP0131 https://t.co/Fq32lzAMAx

#COVIDvaccine is effective in active and inactive #SLE disease. Noted reduced response for MMF, MTX, GC>10 mg/day. Threshold of B cells is 9+ cell/uL to have a vaccine response. Prof T Dorner #EULAR2022 @rheumnow https://t.co/qyNUZxMccD

RABBIT registry data on CV events with JAKi. Incidence rate low 0.41/100PY. No increase compared to TNFi RR 0.94 (0.39-2.38). No increase in high-risk group RR 0.90 (0.37-2.17). Reassuring with wide CI's. @RheumNow #EULAR2022 OP0135 https://t.co/vBSsnfeBoR https://t.co/iYDZsNwMye

Hamroun S et al for the GR2 Cohort showed that age HR 1.22 and use of NSAIDs HR 3.01 in the pre-conception period was associated with a longer time to conception in women with SpA. Research is needed on continuous NSAID use in the preconception period #EULAR2022 @RheumNow OP0153 https://t.co/hl6jUlK5PN

#SLE responses with #anifrolimumab separate vs standard of care+placebo& LLDAS at 12 weeks-predictor was high Type I IFN (younger, ⬆️disease activity) but diff sig for response w #belimumab. At bedside diff to tell pts with various signatures apart. #EULAR2022 @RheumNow Dorner https://t.co/98Sb3MIEps

#OP0143 #EULAR2022 We need to screen/monitor our patients with #lupus for infection. Amsterdam cohort (>200 pts) reported association of infection and flare. 50% were on steroid. Infection type did not influence flare @RheumNow https://t.co/Pxpx5hXLv9

How many and quickly does nr-AxSpA progress to r-AxSpA? Poddubnyy et al for the PROOF study showed that 16% of nr-AxSpA pts progressed to r-AxSpA within 5 years, mean time to radiographic progression was 2.4 years #EULAR2022 @RheumNow OP0149 https://t.co/KTC8Xkt4ey

Good morning from Copenhagen. Starting the day with looking at imaging in SpA, review of posters, vaccination, lupus nephritis and auto inflammatory disease #EULAR2022 @RheumNow https://t.co/aPEkLjDaK7

Another promising drug for #SLE! Monoclonal Ab to BDCA2 ; phase II study noted improvement in joint manifestation but not impressive in cutaneous dz. - Prof T Dorner #EULAR2022 @rheumnow https://t.co/eKwQyomJUD

#ClinicalPearl 2/3 of pts with #SLE have Type 1 interferon signature. So, 1/3 of #lupus is NOT driven by this pathway. Importance may be what is targeted in each pt but doesn’t necessarily predict response to #anifrolimumab #EULAR2022 @eular_org @RheumNow T Dorner SLE session https://t.co/vMOC8yGJ2V
