"AMPLIFIED study:
abatacept vs adalimumab in RF+ACPA+ early RA
Not a single blink of difference.
Maybe for high CCP titre but the inverse for low CCP.
Sadly, theoretical mechanistic benefit doesn’t always wash out. We’ll keep on looking for predictors #EULAR2024 OP0007

Shingrix in upadacitinib + MTX RA, in SELECT-COMPARE RCT:
data now out to 60w
good humoral and cellular response in most, even without MTX withheld
(& good safety too)
Important for our JAKi-treated patients to get the protection they need #EULAR2024 OP0020
