Who with #SSc-ILD will progress?
progression is non linear - can stabilize and worsen
Search for Predictive biomarker
For clinical care & enriching RCTs
Maybe #KL6 🤷♀️
Maybe IP-10, MIG
No strong #biomarker
Depends on what is used

After At-risk RA, time to discuss At-risk PsA patients
ARP-PsA
Prospective cohort 1400+ pts
8.4% met ARP-PsA criteria (arthralgia + Fam Hx +Pso, not referred via Dermatology)
Risk factors:
Pso >15 years
Pso + Family Hx
US synovitis/enthesitis
At 1 yr follow-up 30% progressed https://t.co/ZY2ezh8nZN

Prednisone remains both lifeline and liability.
New PRED-SAFE SDM tool helps patients and clinicians navigate that tension—visualizing benefits and harms to guide tapering. In pilot testing, 93% had no residual decisional conflict.

Picture this 👉radiographic joint damage tied to worse physical function in #PsA:
🔹 ↑ mSS → ↑ HAQ (β=0.003 [0.002–0.004])
🔹 ↑ mSS → ↓ SF-36 PF (β=−0.10 [−0.15 to −0.05])
🔹 ↑ # of damaged joints → worse physical function

Abstrat 1414 Compared to #PsO, early #PsA showed:
🔹 ↑ Dactylitis (66%), Enthesitis (78%), CRP/ESR
🔹 Longer morning stiffness & ↑TJC/SJC
🔹 MRI/US: frequent tenosynovitis & bone changes
🔹 Predictive model combining these features showed Sens 89%, Spec 84%

Abstract 0878: In PsA pts w/ lateral epicondyle enthesitis on secukinumab (n=11):
🔹 Improved DAPSA & SPARCC scores
🔹 entheseal tissue biopsy showing shift toward pro-resolving fibroblasts (↑DKK3/CD200⁺)
🔹 ↓ osteoblast-related pathways

Kuzkina et al. Efficacy of IL-6i with olokizumab on depression in RA. There appear to be some benefit but anti-depressants still needed. Group 1 is olokizumab alone, other 2 groups have anti-depressants also. @RheumNow #ACR25 Abstr#1323 https://t.co/h2ExYQgKTL

Mayer et al. NSAIDs in IBD. Retrospective cohort study. 250000 individuals. Non-inferiority study. No increased IBD-related hospitalisation in UC, but an increase in all-cause hospitalisation. @RheumNow #ACR25 Abstr#1434 https://t.co/he2Xmcqslk

Post Hoc analysis from SELECT-GCA
Increased rate of herpes zoster for 26wk steroid-UPA 15mg (7.3% vs 4.2% 52wk steroid-plbo) but lower rate of SERIOUS infections (7.9% vs 12.7% 52wk steroid-plbo)
Zoster risk is real; steroids are the bigger problem

@RheumNow on virtual learning:
It’s integrated in clinical care, research and #MedEd
How to manage info overload?
- schedule, make use of tools
- use AI to curate, analyze & focus

X-sectional study by Dr Toledano et al showed that 20% (46/230) PsA pts had restless leg syndrome (RDS).
Pts w/ RDS:
- Polyarthritis
⬆️ Swollen jts
⬆️ Fatigue, anxiety, depression
⬆️ Dse activity
Poor sleep quality
Polyarthritis & Pso: assocd w/ RDS

Concerns using dupilumab in EGPA due to secondary eosinophilia
What about when combined with IL-5 therapy?
16 pt on dupi + IL5 agent
- if dupi alone caused eosinophilia -> quelled by IL-5
- no eosinophilia when dupi added to IL-5
- effective but slow

Case series of 5 patients with binutuzumab (CD20) in AAV
Short story short; it worked. Of course it worked. Obviously it worked. Everyone knew it would work.
Why aren't we doing more TRIALS with new/better B cell inhibitors in AAV?
