#EULAR2023 #POS0115 Can we minimise placebo response in #lupus trials? Post-hoc analysis of Phase 2 RCT Dapirolizumab (CD40-CD40L-i) showed greater response in acute flare with Normal Complement levels in the PBO group. Could Low Complement be used for trial entry? @RheumNow https://t.co/8aRq5tWi97

“You don’t need MTX with TCZ for RA” Err, well: - just like TNFi, you def can get ADAb to TCZ - they definitely lead to lower response rates - MTX co-admin reduces ADAb Seems like a good idea to me, but your call 🤷‍♂️ Bitoun, Mariette et al POS0630 #EULAR2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/2jOAqA6YZ3

The risk of demyelination with TNFi is low but real. Slight increase of risk was found in male RA patients. The small number of events is reassuring. Careful consideration is recommended in individuals at highest risk of demyelinating diseases Abst#OP0135 #EULAR2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/YT6ZrJTjU0

In polyrefractory RA patients, half did not have any PDUS change on ultrasound and/or had normal CRP levels, showing that in the other half, new mechanisms of action for treatment is required by David P, Abst#OP0134 ##EULAR2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/TaY7uGU0bg

#EULAR2023 #OP0142 From #Lupus to #Sjogren. A phase 2 RCT in China showed more patients on Telitacicept (BAFF/APRIL-i) achieved significant reduction in ESSDAI at Wk24 vs PBO. Trend to improvement in glandular function. Intriguing option & will await Phase 3 global RCT @RheumNow https://t.co/BCiohuAfP3

No relationship between MTX-PG levels in terms of efficacy by SDAI remission but higher MTX-PG levels related to adverse events by Tamai H, Abstr #OP0128 #EULAR2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/TiO5eeYlnS

JAKi have superior effectiveness at 6 months compared to TNFi and the efficacy was similar in those with and and without safety risk (increased age, CV risk, smoker) by Hannah Bower, Abst#0133 #EULAR2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/Pt6EoN6323

#EULAR2023 #OP0143 Promising therapy. A Phase 2 RCT of Dazodalidep (CD40L-i) in #Sjogren showed significantly more patients on DAZ group met reduction in ESSDAI vs placebo. Interesting to see higher hurdle ESSDAI favoured DAZ Group. Phase 3 RCTs are underway @RheumNow https://t.co/I9uHxvRlnr

We’re getting better at understanding different types of refractory RA (D2T RA) We see differences with refractory RA subtypes: PIRRA (persistently inflamm on USS), and NIRRA (non-inflamm) hopefully moving to data-driven Rx approaches for D2T RA? OP0134 #EULAR2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/vX5IK5O9Wm

Difficult to treat #rheumatoid #arthritis is a grab bag of multi drug failures or intolerant with high or LOW disease activity 3 groups and diff reasons for failure and diff risk factors. ? Sunset the D2T Pts? OP0117 #EULAR2023 @RheumNow @eular_org https://t.co/1qPMq32kVz

The overall risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease were decreased in RA treated with JAKi but there was no comparison with TNFi, Sung Soo Ahn, Abst#00132 #EULAR2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/9Bi6t6uuig
