Looking forward to this Plenary - upadacitinib vs plbo in GCA
Similar to GiACTA, 26wk taper w/UPA better than 52wk taper w/PLBO. Too small for safety, but no new rsks
Strong argument for DMARDs upfront in GCA... but doesn't help with which 😉

Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) affects young patients with symptom onset occurring in early adulthood. Apart from pain and quality of life, reproductive issues also arise because patients who are diagnosed with the disease are also in their reproductive age. Two interesting abstracts about reproductive issues in axSpA will be presented during the poster sessions on Saturday, November 16, 2024.
