Anti-Rheumatic Rx

      Despite the advances in the treatment of PsA with biologic (bDMARD) and targeted synthetic (tsDMARD), less than half of patients with this condition achieved remission or low disease activity. Combination DMARD treatment is often used in order to achieve remission or minimal disease activity. The standard practice is to use a conventional synthetic (csDMARD) with a bDMARD. The use of the combination of bDMARD with a tsDMARD such as a JAKi or

      Can RA be intercepted? In the ALTO follow-up of the APIPPRA RCT (Cope et al), 1 year of abatacept delayed RA onset by up to 3 years in ACPA+/RF+ individuals. Effect strongest in those with mature autoantibody profiles. Abstract#OP0004 @RheumNow #EULAR2025 https://t.co/N7YwtYod8w

      If you successfully taper off DMARDs in RA patients in remission, do you risk bringing new joints in the mix? Leiden post-hoc trial: these patients don’t do worse than those who never get off drug. Drug-free remission tricky but new joints not a worry. #EULAR2025 @RheumNow https://t.co/QDxNRPN9f1

      Early PsA? Treat fast, treat hard. The STAMP RCT showed that early secukinumab + MTX led to faster ACR50 and PASI90 responses vs standard care in a T2T strategy. By 12 months, outcomes were similar, but early SEC needed fewer escalations. Abstract#OP0092 @RheumNow #EULAR2025 https://t.co/cAZTc9eN16
