Sjogrens

Have you heard of nipocalimab? It prevents IgG-FcRn by binding to the FcRn IgG binding site. This is one to watch in our diseases (RA, Sjogren’s, SLE, myopathies.) Dr. Postolova #RWCS23 ⁦@RheumNow⁩ ⁦@RWCSmtg⁩ https://t.co/qMGA6IdtUE

Low Dose IL-2 Therapy in Sjögren’s

Nov 29, 2022

There is a large, unmet need in treating Sjögren’s syndrome, yet a new randomized clinical trial has shown that low-dose interleukin 2 (LD-IL-2) was effective effective and well tolerated in patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS), with evidence of restored immune balance.

Potential new treatment for Sjogren's

Nov 13, 2022

Is there finally something new on the horizon in Sjogren’s syndrome? 



At the second plenary session, Dr. Thomas Dorner presented abstract 1113 on a medication that may at long last be a disease modifying agent. Remibrutinib (LOU064) is a highly specific inhibitor of Bruton’s tyrosine

Sjogren’s is tough to study, isn’t it? LOUiSSe (remibrutinib proof-of-concept SjS) - benefit with: - ESSDAI (primary, obj dx activity) ✅ - auto-Ab ✅ - all patient outcomes ❎ Has already exceeded many attempts Even then, still some limitations ABST1113 #ACR22 @RheumNow https://t.co/NlBaFVuuPa

Sjogren's in a Plenary! Remibrutinib (BTKi) in SjS Improved ESSDAI at wk 24, but NONE on ESSPRI (more patient-centric ie fatigue, dryness, joint pain) Definitely helps w/lab abnormalities, but worried benefit for outcomes that matter may be limited #ACR22 @RheumNow abstr#1113 https://t.co/GutY8KndbR

Sjogrens - Dx tips, myths & mistakes: • SS not rare; affects 1 in 400 • 95% female, but SS is more severe in men • African Americans have a severe systemic phenotype • Asians report dryness Sxs • Smoking & alcohol intake often avoided by SS pts https://t.co/B2hR7z8H5Z https://t.co/g0FKhcmoXa
Multicentre matched control study looked at primary Sjogrens that developed lymphoma or NOT. Parotid swelling (PSW) is an early major predictor of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in pSS; esp if present before or dx, & w/ a longer duration of PSW https://t.co/QokXF6klEv https://t.co/YqFgAqt4ku

Mitochondria as Master Regulators of Inflammation

Jul 25, 2022

Mitochondrial constituents and metabolic products may give rise to immune activation; this is especially true for mitochondrial DNA, which can function as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) leading to inflammasome activation.



DAMPs and pathogen-associated molecular patterns
