Do you increase spacing of TNF-i administration in your patients with axSpA with sustained low disease activity for one year? OP0138 results showed similar relapse rates in those with increased spacing intervals and those on standard dosing regimen. #EULAR2021 @RheumNowNews

Does Guselkumab (IL23-i) modulate gene expression in #PsA? Dr Siebert analysed samples from DISCOVER RCTs & reported normalisation of⬆️regulated genes (e.g. Neutrophil,monocyte) and ⬇️regulated (B-,T- and NK cells) signatures by GUS post-therapy #EULAR2021 #POS0195 @RheumNow https://t.co/2qtpxrrwkF

AVN in SLE is ⬇️ing over time! risks are same: younger, male, glucocorticoids & also found hyperlipidemia. ?due to older age of onset & less steroids over time & better immune suppressants POS0730 @RheumNow #EULAR2021 @eular_org https://t.co/IG3NVrZl4D

Once approved, what type of patients with #SLE would you treat with #anifrolumab? #EULAR2021 #OP0131 @RheumNow

Sjogren’s QoL reported dryness correlates with objective salivary flow ⭐️lower perceived dryness associated with higher immunologic activity Abs#POS0102 #EULAR2021 @RheumNow

#EULAR2021 OP0138 - Radiographic AxSpA in LDA, SPACING anti-TNF vs continue care. 83% were able to ⬆️ dosing interval at month 12, drug efficacy recovered in pts with relapsed disease. Worth trying in stable patient who wants to wean down meds. @RheumNow

Do patients with #SpA have a different phenotype if they have "root joint disease"? Find out at the #EULAR2021 Poster Tour #POS0239 or at https://t.co/30JdHxTKus https://t.co/ocEefm8II9

@AurelieRheumo @RheumNow Looks like modern art and not a prediction model. Lots of scatter in data by my untrained eyes! @RheumNow #EULAR2021

@MeralElRamahiMD @RheumNow True that axSpA is diff from pts with peripheral SpA predominantly but isn’t it circular reasoning to say axial has more HLAB27+ as that is group in whom criteria were developed including HLAB27?

Poorer outcomes with #JAKi in pts who get #SARSCoV2 but ? related to line of therapy - worse off if 2nd line advanced Rx in RA vs 1st line? JAKi has short half life so it washes out? And..#baricitinib added to #remdesivir improves outcomes NEJM @RheumNow #EULAR2021 #OP0006 Dunno! https://t.co/583z6Mlw3y

Do we need to monitor #ECG in patients on #HCQ and #polypharmacy? Dr Antivalle reported ⬆️QTc interval in HCQ vs controls. Only 3/132 was above ULN in HCQ group though. Importantly,⬆️QTc was noted more in HCQ + co-meds (e.g. PPI) #EULAR2021 #POS0090 @RheumNow https://t.co/1Ui4MghqIk

Don’t forget to use imaging that you already have! CT Abd/Pelvis (ordered for nonMSK) of 301 IBD pts shows underlying sacroilitis ⭐️60/301 had sacroilitis on CT ⭐️11/60 had AxSpA ⭐️3/60 previously undiagnosed axSpA Abs#POS0035 #EULAR2021 @RheumNow

➡️ASTERA = PIII trial that showed superior efficacy of Netakimab (IL-17Ai) vs PBO in pts w/ active r-axSpA. Excluded pts prev tx w/ 2 or more TNFi ➡️OP0142 = sub-analysis showing Netak ⬇️ dz activity in AS pts irrespective of sacroillitis on MRI at b/l #EULAR2021 @Rheumnow https://t.co/faT3M0xQiR

I haven’t used it but… Netakimab (IL-17i) approved for treatment of PsO, AS, and PsA in Russia and Belarus ⭐️⬇️AS activity w/ or w/o MRI sacroilitis Abs#OP0142 #EULAR2021 @RheumNow

Bingo. It always had been rather odd to me that you would call someone nr-SpA when they had MR evidence of disease; xrays are not sensitive to pick up changes. While we're at it, can we just use the term "imaging" instead of "radiographs" with the availability of better tech? https://t.co/I6reoHyywf
