#SLE treatments #ACR24: Compared efficacy & safety of belimumab vs. telitacicept (targets B-lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) and proliferation-inducing ligand(APRIL)) Both improved disease activity with no difference in efficacy Belimumab had lower infection rates @RheumNow abst1544

More data from PAISLEY, deucravacitinib in SLE Small but significant benefit w/respect to joints, a little disappointing tbh Would like to see this for all manifestations ie pericarditis, pleuritis, etc Anyone have an infographic or useful chart? #ACR20 @RheumNow Abstr#1552 https://t.co/tXUoUtssxo
