      ACQUIVAS: RTX-treated AAV patients had poor response to #pneumococcal vaccine PCV-13 (8% vs 45% in non-RTX). Boosting w/ PPV-23 helped a few but 48% failed to mount robust response. Time to rethink vaccine strategies in RTX-treated patients? @RheumNow #EULAR2025 #OP0173 https://t.co/soU5qfwRib

      #MITIGATE subgroup analysis: Inebilizumab reduced flares & boosted remission across all #IgG4-RD subgroups. HR for flare vs PBO: 0.12-0.16 across sex/race. Similar results for all subgroups in achieving flare-free, treatment-free complete remission. @RheumNow #EULAR2025 #OP0189

      Two recent studies suggest there is no significant benefit of early biologics over standard step-up care with methotrexate2,3, but these did not select for poor prognosis.
