2020 #ACR20 RA guidelines were against steroid usage in RA. ESPOIR French cohort: 10 years of very low dose GC show increase events (death/CVD/fracture/severe ifn) even on low doses. HR increases every year. Cum GC dose-effect esp ifn, CVD. @RheumNow #ACRBest https://t.co/7b7chCPRxm

Another great late-breaking asbtract: #HerpesZoster in patients w/ #rheumatoidarthritis taking #upadacitinib #JAKinhibitor
-HZ events more common in patients taking 30mg vs 15mg
-HZ more common in UPA vs those taking ADA+MTX & MTX

Mavrilimumab (anti-GM-CSF) in GCA, phase 2
GM-CSF upstream to both Th1 & Th17 pathways; potential for dx-modifying??
PNL induction then enrol+PNL taper
GCA flare (ESR/CRP+Sx/imaging): mavrilimumab RRR 62%
Enormous potential, worth exploring!

Late breaking: in older #rheumatoidarthritis patients, those taking MTX have 2x risk of #VTE compared to those on HCQ. Important to consider #thromboembolic risk factors when starting new RA treatment.

How do we square up bone loss and new bone formation in AS? Are these coupled? Study from the ASSERT trial showed no relationship between baseline BMD and new syndesmophyte formation in the same vertebra @RheumNow #ACR20 Abstr#1896

Can you give TCZ for GCA with minimal steroids?
Everyone hates steroids, right?
GUSTO trial: IVMP 500mg x3d +TCZ sc q1w
14/18 achieved clinical remission at 24w (but mean 11w)
13/18 relapse-free
1/18 permanent visual loss
Is that tradeoff worth it?
