Dual pandemic in Africa.
Increasing lifestyle diseases and obesity, along with infections and malnutrition.
These may be reflected in rheumatic diseases too (if they could be studied in detail)

Targets for OA pain pharmacotherapies
some by the wayside:
- NGF
- TrkA
but some very much in play and exciting:
- neurotrophin-3
- TRPV1
- Nav1.7, 1.8

In the APEX Phase 3b RCT (N=1020), guselkumab (IL-23p19 inhibitor) significantly reduced radiographic progression (ΔvdH-S 0.55 & 0.54 vs 1.35 PBO; p≤0.002) and improved ACR20 (67–68% vs 47%) at W24 in biologic-naïve PsA. Safety consistent with prior data. Abstract LB0010 https://t.co/mFDsBsCg6m

RCT in axSpA (N=200): Digital therapeutic Axia added to stable treatment led to significant improvements in BASDAI (–1.66), BASFI (–1.12), ASQoL (–2.51), with ASAS20/40 responses of 51%/23% vs 9%/3% for usual care. Supports role of DTx in axSpA care. Abstract LB0002 @RheumNow https://t.co/oF6bjIwNIY

LEVI-04 (neutrophin-3 inhibitor presented as #ACR24 late-breaker in knee OA)
more good efficacy data, no rapidly progressive OA safety signal.
For us clinicians: impressive impact size, esp relative to alternatives.
Finally, something that works??

It’s a hot topic at #EULAR2025, but the messages on AI in medicine from patient-professional discussions is clear:
- potential upside massive in many domains, but
- patients still want their clinicians by their side

Great talk by @Lupusreference on Relapsing Polychondritis and a highlight of #EULAR2025. Do not forget about the articular presentations of relapsing polychondritis @RheumNow https://t.co/1xZY7VkX1z
Gout flares are associated with cardiovascular events. Treating gout to target serum urate level prevents flares, but whether such treatment can also prevent cardiovascular events is unknown.
