ICYMI: Clinical and Therapeutic Challenges in Connective Tissue Disease and ILD

Connective tissue diseases (CTDs) and interstitial lung disease (ILD) represent a challenging intersection of systemic autoimmunity and progressive respiratory impairment. Research presented at EULAR 2025 continues to highlight the importance of CTD-ILD and the evolving landscape of therapeutic options for patients with autoimmune ILDs.
ICYMI: Channeling Bias and Cancer Risk with Biologic or Targeted Synthetic DMARDs
A retrospective US administrative claims cohort study of RA patients on tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFis), non-TNFi biologics, or Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis) found a statistically significantly higher risk of incident cancer in patients receiving rituximab, abatacept, or JAKis (compared with TNFis).
ICYMI: ACP: Best Practice Advice on Cannabis or Cannabinoids Use for Chronic Noncancer Pain
The American College of Physicians published a best practice advisory on cannabis or cannabinoids in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

In >228k CTD patients across France, ILD increased mortality risk across all CTDs. Proportion of incident CTD with ILD highest in IIM (37%). Up to 34% of CTD-ILD pts had progressive pulm fibrosis. Supports earlier ILD screening & vigilance in CTDs. @RheumNow #EULAR2025 #OP0033 https://t.co/nEiTWQEqsP

If you successfully taper off DMARDs in RA patients in remission, do you risk bringing new joints in the mix? Leiden post-hoc trial: these patients don’t do worse than those who never get off drug. Drug-free remission tricky but new joints not a worry. #EULAR2025 @RheumNow https://t.co/bwXgrB875k

ICYMI: Introducing Polyrefractory RA: A New Frontier in Difficult-to-Treat RA At a EULAR 2025 session titled “What makes ‘Difficult-to-treat RA’ so difficult to treat? And what can we do?”, Drs. Paula David and Dennis McGonagle introduced the emerging concept of polyrefractory https://t.co/Qy9fy3GWKm
