Following the results of the FAST trial, would you have any concerns about prescribing febuxostat if clinically indicated?

Also note, the hypogammaglob gap has widened a little (then 25 v 21, now 36 v 26).
Now we have the extended follow-up data, where no additional benefit was noted, do we still feel that excited? #ACR20 @RheumNow

RITZAREM
(RTX vs AZA maintenance post RTX induction relapsing AAV)
what happened post-study?
After #ACR19, hope RTX confers ongoing benefit
Answer: no. Same decline
Is 1g q4m dosing not justified?
Does that mean RTX needs to be continued, and in whom?
