ICYMI: Introducing Polyrefractory RA: A New Frontier in Difficult-to-Treat RA
At a EULAR 2025 session titled “What makes ‘Difficult-to-treat RA’ so difficult to treat? And what can we do?”, Drs. Paula David and Dennis McGonagle introduced the emerging concept of polyrefractory rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a term now being used to describe a subset of patients who have failed to respond to five or more biologic or targeted synthetic DMARDs. This new classification, derived from recent multinational registry data, represents a significant step in refining our understanding and management of the most treatment-resistant forms of RA.

#Probiotics +#methotrexate giving far more #remission in #rheumatoid #arthritis than #MTX alone?
Seems fishy….
oops - #fish #oil #omega3 #fatty #acids do work!
not sure re the huge benefit of ‘immunebiotics’

Data from a German cohort evaluated the frequency of D2M-axSpA using the new D2M definition and showed:
> Female pts
> Peripheral SpA symptoms
< HLAB27 positive
< Education level
< Objective signs: MRI-inflammation in the spine or elevated CRP levels.
also PROs were worse in
This year at EULAR, health inequalities have taken centre stage as fundamental drivers of outcomes in rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases. Across multiple sessions and studies, delegates are presenting compelling evidence and ground-breaking research demonstrating that who you are, where you live, and what resources you can access truly do shape the trajectory of chronic illness just as much as biological factors.
The concept of Difficult-to-Manage (D2M) axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a recent development, with the first expert consensus definition published by the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS) earlier this year. This unified definition has stimulated a wave of new research globally, with multiple studies analysing D2M axSpA in diverse clinical cohorts.

In propensity-matched RA cohort (n=2,449 each) on JAK inhibitors, adding a GLP-1 agonist reduced risk of: • Acute coronary syndromes (RR 0.65, p=0.0009) • DVT (RR 0.69, p=0.007) Overall CV events ↓ by 33% (RR 0.67, p=0.0007)

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.

Repurposing drugs to #osteoarthritis
No jewel in the rough!
Most drugs - MTX, colchicine, TNFi, IL1i, etc are NEGATIVE or yield mixed results from diff #RCTs
Not sure this is the way forward for #OA drug discovery 💡
