Do GLP-1 agonists achieve meaningful weight loss in patients with RMDs?
RISE registry
Retrospective
N=60,206
Tirzepatide: lost 8%
Semaglutide: list 6%
At 12 months
PsA had the highest usage

BARI vs TNFi in VTE-enriched #RA pts (RA-BRIDGE + RA-BRANCH, n=3,640, ~3.7 yrs follow-up): VTE non-inferiority not met (HR 1.61, CI 0.97–2.66).
But absolute rates low (2.5% vs 1.7%) and MACE was similar (HR 1.06). Serious infections ↑ with BARI. @RheumNow #EULAR2026 LB0009

What drives progression to difficult-to-treat RA?
20-year cohort 675pts
-18.8% developed D2T RA
-Younger age, higher HAQ & prior steroid exposure asso w/ D2T RA
-Earlier b/tsDMARD initiation protective
-No diff TNFi vs non-TNFi first-line strategy

JAK-SPARE: Ph3 RCT on baricitinib for rem induxn in early PMR.
BARI was effective vs. PBO in inducing & maintaining GC free rem.
No new safety signals.
New tx option for PMR (esp early). Decreases GC dependence & side effects.

#EULAR2026 Recommendations: Immunization (new since 2011)
- Vaccinate early regardless of dz acitiviry
- HBV booster/passive if poor response
- Yellow fever may be considered on individual basis
- Avoid live vaccines (mostly) in newborn exposed in utero to biologic

Balinatunfib, oral selective TNFR1 inhibitor designed to preserve TNFR2 signalling in RA. Phase 2b trial missed primary ACR20 endpoint, but 200mg QD arm showed signals for higher ACR50, ACR70 and DAS28 low disease activity & reduced IL-6. @RheumNow https://t.co/emxNQy0cPx

#OP0207 #EULAR2026: SUPERFIBRES trial suggests dietary fibre supplementation may enhance MTX response in RA. Inulin improved EULAR responses and Th17/Treg balance over 30 days, with strongest effects seen in MTX-treated patients. Fascinating microbiome-linked signal. @RheumNow https://t.co/nCvZlooamF
