Phase 2 RCT of MK2 inhibitor did not show clinical efficacy at week 12 in active AS pts compared to PBO.
There are still unmet needs for additional therapeutics in pts with AS that not respond to current therapies.

Comparison of infection risk across b/tsDMARDs in IA in real-world study
Treatment with
➡️Rituximab
➡️JAKi
➡️Anti-IL6
assoc with ⬆️⬆️ risk of severe infection compared to TNFi
A reminder to consider comorbidities & infection risk in selecting b/tsDMARDs

RCTs are the gold standard in drug research, but rising placebo (PBO) response rates with global recruitment could distort treatment effects. Limited access to care in less affluent countries may be a factor.

SURPASS trial of bio naïve axSpA at risk of radiographic progression:
1. Presence of syndesmophytes
2. Higher CRP levels
3. Higher ASDAS
4. Higher spinal MRI BME scores
Were predictors of spinal progression independent of ttnt

How does #race & #ethnicity impact mortality in RA?
Study in CDC national mortality database
➡️RA mortality differed by race & ethnicity
➡️Highest premature mortality in Native Americans
Findings may be used to inform resource allocation & management

In this systematic review & metaanalyis by Dr. RFarhat et al, tacrolimus whole blood levels decrease in the 1st & 2nd trimesters then increase back to pre-pregnancy levels postpartum.
Needs further studies to guide dose adjustment.

Dr. BDinneen et al reported predictors that can help screen axSpA pts w/o traditional CV RFs for carotid doppler utz:
- shorter dse duration
- no family hx of IHD
- HLAB27+
- ⬆️ dBP, WHratio, ferritin, TC, LDL and TC:HDL ratio
Small size, more data reqd

Fracture incidence in RA - RISE registry
Incidence rate of MOF, hip Fx by disease activity
50% did not have CDAI available
IR 12 per 1000py hip, 43 for MOF
High activity worst, low/mod similar, remission is best
Supports remission is better than LDA

Interesting comparative effectivness study, TOFA vs calcineurin inhibitors in MDA5-dermato
Expansion of prior publication @NEJM that used historical controls: https://t.co/AzA8ybCqYH
Encouraging data for JAKs in this disease; need proper trials
