New insights into Pre-RA: It ranges from asymptomatic individuals with ACPA positivity to those with symptomatic pre-clinical synovitis. Predicting who will develop RA is difficult, and there is a need for reliable biologic tools. Focusing on high-risk patients could https://t.co/SPOP7f0t7y

When every option fails, bold moves remain. In 5 multi-resistant RA pts, TNFi + JAKi combo brought remission in most without major AEs. Not standard, not risk-free, but in young, low-infection-risk pts, it may offer a path forward. @RheumNow #ACR25 Abstract#2272

#ACR25 Abstr#LB01 After several smaller studies, a Multicentre, Phase 2b RCT of 152 #SLE pts in China. SRI-4 was met in IL-2 as s/c every other day for 12 wks, followed by weekly for another 12 wks vs PBO. Efficacy & T-regs expansion were dose dependent. On to Phase 3 @RheumNow https://t.co/L0rYr5D1R1

Post hoc eval of relapses from MANDARA, MEPO vs BEN in EGPA 30% of pts had relapse, 81% of which were asthma +/- sinonasal disease Remainder were mostly muscle involved, only a few mononeuritis Mostly as expected; useful epi data for clinic #ACR25 @RheumNow Abstr#1769 https://t.co/IKKolMZJlF
