Humira Clobbers Biosimilars in Battle for Part D Coverage
Researchers found nearly all Medicare Part D plans cover original adalimumab (Humira), but only about half cover approved biosimilars.

Treatment intensification is associated with a higher ASDAS cut-off value than the recommended one (≥2.1). Rheumatologists may feel this is too stringent and use a higher ASDAS value for treatment intensification #EULAR2024 Abstract 0060 @RheumNow https://t.co/54vZUz7IEz

Nice idea from Erlangen: B cell then T cell suppression for ACPA+ RA. A tolergenic reset of sorts. Sounds interesting…
small study, but sadly no difference over ritux only. Does seem broadly safe though - maybe will be a strategy for another disease!

In patients with bio-naïve r-axSpA, Ixekizumab treatment for 16 weeks decreased erosion scores and increased backfill scores, particularly in the IXE Q2W group, consistent with rapid tissue repair #EULAR2024 Abst OP0046 @RheumNow https://t.co/wMasGSZj2o

Effect of #RTX in preclinical #RheumatoidArthritis
RA-risk pts given 1 dose PBO or 1000mg RTX
RTX in RA-risk pts delayed onset of RA by 1yr; no benefit on QoL
Pts developing RA: RTX didn't alter PROs or disease severity when developing RA

Shingrix in upadacitinib + MTX RA, in SELECT-COMPARE RCT:
data now out to 60w
good humoral and cellular response in most, even without MTX withheld
(& good safety too)
Important for our JAKi-treated patients to get the protection they need #EULAR2024 OP0020 @RheumNow https://t.co/FqVCCwUJOg

A potentially notable association between TNFi in PsA and an increased risk of ischemic heart diseases and heart failure compared to IL-17i treatment. Limitations of the study noted. This may be due to patient selection and channeling of patients to the TNFi group and more… https://t.co/Q2LotHZwjQ https://t.co/uwl6vBIMsb

AMPLIFIED study:
abatacept vs adalimumab in RF+ACPA+ early RA
Not a single blink of difference.
Maybe for high CCP titre but the inverse for low CCP.
Sadly, theoretical mechanistic benefit doesn’t always wash out. We’ll keep on looking for predictors #EULAR2024 OP0007 @RheumNow https://t.co/IswCub9lLn

Digital technologies and health in #SLE can be integrated at several stages, but still a needs a bridge between #AI and #humanintellegence #EULAR2024 @Lupusreference @RheumNow https://t.co/1aN8QPgVWn

Treat to target in #lupus - difficult for many reasons.
Also may be too much of a restrictive strategy.
@Lupusreference talks about DORIS definition of remission- however mentions may be difficult to do in daily practice #EULAR2024 @rheumnow https://t.co/XqiubfOz2n

Many drugs in the horizon for #lupus @Lupusreference lecture #EULAR2024
Loved the timeline of all major drug -phase 2 and 3 drugs.
Need for new strategies in Lupus – outcomes and survival is plateauing!
