#ACR23 Late-Breaking Abstr#L20 Phase 3 RCT in China: Telitacicept (BAFF-APRIL-i) in MTX-IR #RA met ACR20 response vs PBO. +ve: less radiographic damage -ve: lower rate ACR50 (21%), homogenous population, no H2H active comparator Unclear its place in current Mx @RheumNow https://t.co/SAc4B1aRD1

Telitacicept (BlyS/APRIL inhibitor) ph3 in RA wholly in China, after SLE approval there (SLE trial now w global sites) Efficacy okay, no better than other b/tsDMARDs What's the hook here, in a crowded RA market incl biosimilars? Safety does look good though #ACR23 L20 @RheumNow https://t.co/UzQ0f18E2A

ICYMI Interesting study by Dr LWGarcia et al: 👉IFN-a serum levels predicted failure to respond to tx 2 years after a flare in pts w/ LN 👉Pts w/⬆️BL IFN-a levels had greater risk of having 2 or more subsequent flares #ACR23 ABST2297 @RheumNow @ZahiTouma https://t.co/WJZnNUPUbT

Interesting late breaker! Telitacicept - recombinant fusion protein targeting BLyS and APRIL for treatment of RA Phase 3 study - at wk 24, reached ACR20, ACR50, DAS28-ESR, no radiographic progression No difference in safety profile compared to placebo @RheumNow #ACR23 #ACRBest https://t.co/bxWPagGixt

Telitacicept (BlyS/APRIL inhibitor) in MTX-IR RA. Phase 3 RCT. 479 patients. ACR20 60.0% vs 26.9%. ACR50 21.4% vs. 5.9%. Radiographic benefit also. Safety looks ok. Abstr#L20 #ACR23 #ACRbest @RheumNow https://t.co/qcinGeRX2d https://t.co/SIKKW7xhwV

#ACR23 Abstr#2575 Do guidelines work? Data from UK cohort (N=290) re: utility of the International Guideline for IIM-assoc cancer screening detected 17 cases; most in high risk group & none in low risk.

Tommasi et al. MTX (vs SSZ) lowers BP in RA in RCT. At 6 months, significant reduction in SBP (mean difference -4.0±10.8 mmHg, p=0.038), MAP (mean difference -4.3±17.9 mmHg, p=0.023). Abstr#2151 #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/wAX3dCztxH https://t.co/mPG5TdeHTu
