#ACR21 #AbstrL21 Phase III RCT which stratified pts using FFS showed no superiority of Rituximab vs SOC for remission induction of EGPA #vasculitis at Day 180 (63.5% vs 60.4%). No difference in secondary endpoints, safety or subgroup analyses @RheumNow https://t.co/AbdAvlU0Bg https://t.co/yta1CM7hrs

Cycling bDMARDs in #PsA. Law of diminishing returns. The more you fail, the more you cycle BUT can we break cycle by ⬆️adherence & health literacy, d/c smoking, use drug levels, biomarkers. Oh that in in future #ACR meetings! #ACR21 abst#1830 @RheumNow https://t.co/GyhgUGHWe8

Canadian study found no significant differences in effectiveness or tx survival among different TNFi, or in nr-axSpA or AS. Failure of 1st TNFi didn't diminish effectiveness or drug survival of additional TNFi. Abs 0938 #ACR21 #RheumNow @RheumNow https://t.co/u1efnfv2zA https://t.co/qsJw3nA9qn

Similar effects in those with CKD stage 3, with also high proportion of achieving serum urate target <6mg/dL (overall 99% of study sample achieved target during trial) https://t.co/gKvDJKoWuw

Important #gout study (I'm biased): allopurinol is non-inferior to febuxostat with regards to gout flare when used in a T2T approach, with no differences in AEs, including CV risk. 99% achieved serum urate target over course of trial. Key slides following. #ACR21 https://t.co/tWeGvZ4rKY

IL17 IS Impt in giant cell arthritis. Who would’ve thought that #secukinumab would treat #GCA? More options for pts. Only 52 pts but maybe another Rx for GCA? #ACR21 abst#L19 https://t.co/dwbPmGswQ9

It's an understandable source of concern for those taking the medication
