🚨 New SLE treatment update! 🚨 Dapirolizumab pegol (DZP), novel CD40L inhibitor, for moderate-to-severe lupus. Phase 3 trial, DZP reduced disease activity, helped taper steroids, and achieved a higher BICLA Safe and generally well tolerated! #ACR24 #L16 @rheumnow https://t.co/lFrKjz4CZ1

In this study by Dr CArriens et al, there was no difference between the vaccine response to Influenza by either HAI or Ab levels in Anifrolumab-treated pts.
AEs - mild, moderate
No serious aEs
💉#vaccinate your pts on anifrolumab with influenza

Mortality Risk After Stopping Glucocorticosteroids (GC) in RA.
In a study of 28,078 RA patients:
Mortality risk from CVD ↑ 7.5%/year of GC use; ↓ 1.3%/year after stopping.
Mortality risk from infections ↑ 6.8%/year of GC use; ↓ 4.9%/year after stopping.
Risks normalize 1.5–10… https://t.co/i6cKet1EEV https://t.co/ClMjIly20E

Did you know? 🤔
Capillaroscopy is performed on the nailfold because it is the area where the capillaries are fully visualized compared to the skin where capillary tips are only seen.
This capillaroscopy session with Dr. Cutolo is so high yield I'd say! 🤓

VACIMRA Study showed timing matters for Methotrexate and Pneumococcal Vaccine in RA.
RA patients vaccinated with PCV13 1 month before MTX initiation had higher responder rates at 1 month:
88% (ELISA) vs. 75%
96% (OPA) vs. 88%
At 12 months, responses remained stronger in… https://t.co/bSbIazsRtG

Hydralazine - known culprit of drug-induced AAV
How does hydral (H) AAV differ from primary (1) AAV?
💥 High dual positivity MPO/PR3
💥 DAH / pleuritis more common in H-AAV
💥 ENT, constitutional, nervous, ILD in 1-AAV
💥 More 6mo remission in H-AAV
