#EULAR2026 OP002 More encouraging news in #Sjogren. A Phase II RCT in N=30 patients with ESSDAI=>5 and/or ESSPRI=>5: Anifrolumab (IFN-IR mAb) improved CRESS response vs PBO (80% vs 30%). Impressive effect size for other endpoints too. Need definitive Phase III RCT @RheumNow https://t.co/W3GbA3gKIs

Does ASA protect against JAKi-associated VTE in #RA? Swedish data (n=26,116): No. JAKi VTE risk remained elevated vs TNFi regardless of concomitant ASA or DOAC use. NSAIDs showed a non-significant trend toward protection. @RheumNow #EULAR2026 POS0068

COMPARE Trial: CAR-T Cell Rx in 6 refractory active CCP+ RA pts (failed 4-7 prior b/tsDMARDs). After lymphodepletion w/ CTX + fludarabine, B cells depleted w/ neutropenia. Significant drops in CCP, RF, and DAS28, but at wk 12 only 50% ACR 20 response. Encouraging data but not https://t.co/txm32NkOKW

#EULAR2026 OP0125 It’s a case of “teamwork makes the dream work!” Instead of an index to capture heterogeneity in #Sjogren activity, the NECESSITY validated using data from 16 RCTs that a new composite tool, STAR has high sensitivity & specificity. Vital for use in RCTs @RheumNow https://t.co/ftx1uBP11A
