Poster evaluating representation in trials of AAV and GCA
Results mirror those observed in other fields; need to keep advocating for trials in all populations!

#ACR25 Abstr#776 2-Year SELECT-GCA RCT showed that #GCA patients receiving continuous UPA15 to 2-yr maintained their remission (69%) vs those who switched to PBO after in remission for ≥24 weeks (29%). Lower serious infection but higher herpes zoster in UPA15. One VTE @RheumNow https://t.co/FCTNqCVxiZ

Fascinating: tDR-1, a microbial sRNA, appears protective for RA in at risk ACPA+ pts:
- tDR-1 higher = less develop RA
- can predict seropos RA development
- in vitro type 1 IFN mapping checks out
Useful in itself, but importantly: why does it happen?

No seasonal pattern in GCA!
We have also looked at this in our data and similarly found no trends
It sure feels like GCA comes in waves, but data does not bear this out

Novelli et al. Upadacitinib in male vs female PsA. Data from SELECT-PsA studies. Appears equivalent in males and females, contrasting with TNFi/IL17i data. @RheumNow #ACR25 Abstr#557 https://t.co/fMKsbCkju0

In a novel Geri-Rheum clinic, cognitive screening revealed 35% impairment among adults >55 yrs.
Common deficits: visuospatial, attention & recall.
Early geriatric screening = earlier intervention.
A model for age-friendly rheum care in action.

Ogdie et al. Week 24 results of SOLSTICE study. Guselkumab in TNF-IR in PsA. Good efficacy on skin and joint disease. No difference seen in Q4 vs Q8 weekly doses. @RheumNow #ACR25 Abstr#563 https://t.co/ztK0O9iKb8

Observational study of fibrinogen for diagnosis of GCA
At a cutoff of 4.7, roughly similar diagnostic performance as compared to ESR/CRP
Kind of neat, but does not appear to have additive benefit

ILD found in 30% of Sjögren’s pts w/ HRCT.
A new nomogram-based tool (AUC 0.8) predicts ILD risk using age, ESR, C3, hypergammaglobulinemia & anti-La/SSB.
Goal: guide HRCT referrals & catch ILD earlier.

2-Year data from SELECT-GCA Phase 3 UPA in GCA
Re-randomization & 52 weeks extension UPA 15mg vs. PBO
-Risk of flare 90% lower
-Complete remission 70% vs 20%
-Cumulative GC 1g difference
-No new safety signal
The quick relapse after stopping UPA indicates we are really looking https://t.co/c1khywnPNv

Immune-Mediated Necrotizing Myopathy @EleniTiniakou #ACR25
*Younger pts tend to have a more aggressive disease
*IVIG and RTX can be considered first-line rx for anti-HMGCR and anti-SRP+, respectively
*CYC and plasmapheresis may be options in cases of aggressive disease https://t.co/zWDX79gqlf
Is there ‘bang for the buck’ using big data to help predict who will develop RA in at-risk populations and similarly to predict response to csDMARDs, TNFi and JAKi in RA?

Abstract 0806
Compared to belimumab, Anifrolumab associated with:
↑ infection risk b (HR 1.40, 95% CI 1.05–1.88)
↑ herpes zoster (HR 3.94) & COVID-19 (HR 1.66)
No diff in mortality or hospital use
📈 3-yr infection: 38.3% vs 21.3%
