So who with inflamm arthralgias might benefit from abatacept, in terms of delaying RA onset? ALTO study (APIPPRA continuation) 1y abatacept then follow If autoAb x5 (RF, ACPA IgG, IgA, anti-CarP, AAPA): sustained delay of RA If not: benefit only on Rx #ACR25 ABST1678 @RheumNow https://t.co/3Pc5ZLzVf6

#ACR25 Abstr#1401 Sjogren’s #SjD is definitely not a benign disease! Real world study using US database showed high disease burden within 12 mths of diagnosis (i.e. healthcare resource use). GC use was high (~50%). Better therapy is needed to improve outcomes @RheumNow https://t.co/MI3vQ5LByr

TNFi induction first year in RA leads to: - less D2T RA at 5y - more sustained remission from 10y onward - less DMARD utilization - less healthcare utilization in these real-world matched cohorts given biosimilar prices, this might be worth considering #ACR25 ABST1677 @RheumNow https://t.co/uL9nHtLkXZ

Early TNFi treatment leads to -Less D2T at 5 yrs -More sustained remission at 10yrs -Less bDMARD escalation at 5yrs -More DMARD free remission at 5yrs and 10 yrs -20% reduction annual healths costs -11 mo delay in ttmt escalation Safety data were not presented #ACR25 https://t.co/jPMGUGPtqP

SELECT-COMPARE RA UPA vs. ADA What do we learn from 7 years data? Not much Patients who did well on the first drug, keep doing well Patients who required switching for primary failure don't do as well, w/ 26% pts reaching DAS remission in UPA + MTX vs. 16% in ADA + MTX gp No https://t.co/JLUTRZuZOm

In case you missed it in @ACR_Journals: HCQ for 1y does not prevent RA development in people with CCP3 >2x ULN, either: - during 1y of treatment - in 2y follow-up https://t.co/gtzNiSmutb but StopRA will give us plenty of insights - data is never wasted #ACR25 ABST1674 @RheumNow https://t.co/DDZib5VGtX

SELECT-COMPARE (upadacitinib vs adallimumab in mod-severe RA, no CV enrichment) 7y data: safety profiles very similar, except for: - zoster - CK rise - lymphopenia - hepatic disorder In the general RA population, no new JAKi safety signals #ACR25 ABST1676 @RheumNow https://t.co/BA2JxONGfa
