#2661 In >5000 veterans with RA-ILD, 8 distinct FVC trajectories were identified. >1/2showed a progressive decline (≥0.7%/yr). These progressive patterns predicted higher mortality & respiratory hospitalisations, underscoring major disease heterogeneity. @RheumNow #ACR25

TAC+MMF + GC vs TAC +GC in lupus nephritis (target trial emulation): 🔹Higher total renal response w/ TAC + MMF + GC at 12 mo (59.7% vs 33.3%) consistent in ITT & per-protocol 🔹similar adverse events reported (14.6% vs 16.4%) @RheumNow #ACR25 https://t.co/Yuql3O9C8X

#2702 @ClevelandClinic Vascular ultrasound (VUS) for suspected GCA showed excellent specificity (100%) but low sensitivity (21%) compared with 6m confirmed diagnosis. Fair agreement with TAB (κ=0.64). Findings highlight need for standardised VUS protocols in US. @RheumNow #ACR25 https://t.co/LRFpFBnWWz

In a 5-year EHR-based cohort, PsO patients initiating IL-17i had significantly lower incidence of PsA/IA vs IL-23i, IL-12/23i, or TNFi. IL-17i reduced time with PsA/IA by 45% vs IL-23i, 61% vs IL-12/23i, and 74% vs TNFi. Further research need investigate if IL-17i may delay https://t.co/0PTbXZpLbu

#ACR25 Abstr#2695 Inguinal lymph node biopsies pre- and post-OBI, RTX, BLIN & CD19 CAR-T showed complete tissue depletion with CAR-T. B-cells reduced but often incomplete with protein-based depleters; OBI being the best. Still don’t agree with “immune reset” @RheumNow #ACRBest https://t.co/Sq7m9sXlLP
