For decades, glucocorticoids (GCs) have formed the backbone of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) management. Whilst previously there was a sense that a “low” GC dose with limited duration was used, we now appreciate just how heterogenous the disease course of PMR can be, with many patients experiencing frequent relapses and garnering a subsequent huge GC burden over a number of years.

Chevet et al. What happens when you withdraw tocilizumab after 6 months in PMR? Follow up of SEMAPHORE study. 80.8% relapsed! Median time to relapse 15 weeks. @RheumNow #ACR24 Abstr#1698 https://t.co/9pJ88C05V2

Choose Rheum!
Hart & Kumar interviewed trainees about picking rheumatology... major themes:
▶️ exposure prior to medical training
▶️ mentorship/sponsorship
▶️ long-term self-reflection
▶️ chance!
How can we optimize first 3 to build our workforce?

Is 6M TCZ treatment enough to induce lasting remission in PMR?
➡️cohort of pts in SEMAPHORE trial
➡️among pts in remission after 6M TCZ, 1/4 were relapse-free after TCZ discontinuation
⏩6M treatment not enough to withdraw TCZ

Is #IL1 inhibition for 4 months a winner in #GCA —NOPE
Anakinra daily 100mg sc 4/12
Underpowered but equal relapses and d/c #steroids not different
#relapses esp after d/c #anakinra

How do you manage skin in Sscl?
-RNA pol III + high risk for skin progression.
-Limited+ low risk + stable Sscl no need for immunesuppresors.
-Look for EF in pts with generalized morphea.
-Ttnt of skin depending on other organ involvements.
-If no Raynaud’s/hands spared think of… https://t.co/HBjO5eQfjT https://t.co/oS1ZmkanGA

Sarilumab is better than #MTX in #PMR
Reminder #RCT of #MTX in #PMR was a NEGATIVE #trial #1697
60 % #sarilumab in #RWE could d/c
#Prednisone after failure of initial #pred #Rx >1yr pred prior vs 40% MTX
