We worried that JAKi + MTX might impair Shingrix efficacy, esp given JAKi HZ risk Shingrix nested in upa RCT: Response (seroconversion rate, titres, cellular response) less than gen pop, but still very good + only 2/95 had RA flares Vaccinate away!

Can’t escape ORAL Surveillance RCT talk Lots of real world data on CV risk & JAKi here (with all the selection, measurement bias) First up: multinational JAK-pot study (n=>50k) Even if you mirror the high-risk RCT cohort - not much there for MACE OP0219 #EULAR2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/FfNspdivri

#EULAR2023 #POS0112 Consistent with clinical response, Post-hoc analyses of Phase 2 RCT of Deucravacitinib (Tyk2-i) showed this therapy suppressed both IFN and B cell pathways - a broader mode of action in reducing #SLE pathophysiology.
