Tapering in RA?
In SORAIRO (n=149), pts in remission on ozoralizumab+MTX:
🧪 49% became MTX-free
⏱ 80% spaced OZR to q8w
CDAI ≤10 maintained in >90% if baseline remission + albumin >3.8

#EULAR2025 Abstr#POS1293 Our cohort study support non-medical switch from Rituximab originator to Biosimilar(RTX-B) or btw RTX-Bs in connective tissue disease. No difference in response/B-cell depletion pre- & post-switch.Only 10% stopped RTX at 5-year.Better than in RA @RheumNow https://t.co/ERPgwQ3gZB

Leaky pipeline in rheumatology:
In a 23-country survey, women left hospital practice earlier—26% at trainee level vs 7% of men.
Top reasons?
🚫 Unfair promotion
🚫 Poor communication
🚫 No career path
Workplace equity still lags.

RepurpSS-II RCT (n=46): LEF + HCQ significantly improved systemic disease activity (ESSDAI -4.13) vs PBO in primary #Sjögrens.
⭐️🌱STAR/CRESS response rates also favoured active treatment.
Safe, accessible, affordable option for active disease.

Nerandomilast: the new & improved nintedanib.
Does it work for our rheum pts?
Autoimmune subgroup of FIBRONEER-ILD (NEJM last month)
- mortality benefit vs placebo (this is new)
- well tolerated (minimal increase in diarrhoea vs placebo)
One to watch

#EULAR2025 Abstr#LB0003 Post-hoc analyses of Phase 3 RCT: Nerandomilast (with or without Nintadenib combo) in sub-group patients with autoimmune #ILD reported similar lung efficacy and safety over PBO, in line with overall trial population. Diarrhoea was common AE @RheumNow https://t.co/fxRdflCi9W

Guselkumab in APEX study (PsA, n=1020, biologic-naïve):
🦴 Less joint damage: 0.55 vs 1.35 (placebo)
💪 More responders: 67–68% hit ACR20 on GUS
🛡 Safety: similar to placebo
GUS - selective IL-23i - delivers joint protection and symptom relief

Recommendations for RA management at #EULAR2025
- MTX [or other csDMARDs] and steroids still remain the first line- nothing beats that!
- ofcourse minimize steroids!
- rather than stopping meds at remission, reducing doses may be a better solution.
Not much changed.

Proud to present the 1st #ARCH_ArLAR prospective interventional study #EULAR2025
Large awareness campaign ➡️
🔺️Proportion new referred CIRDs pts ⬆️ from 31 to 37%
🔺️Time 2 see a rheuma ⬇️ 14 to 10 mo
🔺️Time 2 diagnosis ⬇️ 18 to 12 mo

In RCT of RA pts in remission/low disease activity, spacing ozoralizumab (next gen TNFi) or reducing MTX led to more flares vs continued tx; but most pts in remission at baseline maintained LDAS.
Remission matters for subsequent Tx reduction.

Suppression of inflammation fire 🔥 in #axSpA
may prevent subclinical atherosclerosis progression ❤️
🔺️90 patients
🔺️74% achieved LDA at 12 mo
🔺️Carotid plaque progression was higher in non-LDA group
