I typically do not use mepolizumab for "vasculitic" EGPA --> recent ACR/VF guidelines agreed
Interesting study @TerrierBen suggests benefit regardless of ANCA, BVAS, VDI
Have others been using in this context or seen similar?

#ACR22 Abstr#1654 Press Release #lupus. A cohort study using case-crossover design showed that HCQ dose =<5mg/kg actual body weight OR <400mg/day were associated with increased risk of severe #SLE flare requiring hospitalisation.

Targeting MRI remission in RA, specifically targeting osteitis, did not confer benefit over clinical T2T over 2 years. Maybe our clinical examination is not so bad afterall @steverheum_hall

Meng MA of risk of tapering MTX from combo with bDMARD/tsDMARD in RA in remission. RR 0.90 (95% CI 0.84, 0.97) for maintaining remission over maximum 18 months. Authors conclude little risk to stopping - I disagree 10% is >0. @RheumNow #ACR22 Abstr#0916 https://t.co/9lJXdeVmpg https://t.co/CEV29Mc8uW

> 50% of SLE pts showed activation of all 3 complement pathways. The most frequent patterns were normal CL, low AL, normal MBL; low CL & AL, normal MBL. Dz activity, not damage, assoc'd only w/low CL and AL, and normal MBL. Abs 0317 #ACR22 @RheumNow https://t.co/nXtuZCfKDI

Package insert for avacopan has a lot of monitoring requirements, including liver risk, but that seems to be relatively small (2 events per 100 pt-yrs vs pred). Other risks actually favorable as compared to pred
How are others monitoring LFTs?
