The IMID Forum

Join Professor Iain McInnes for the latest episode of Discussing RA on The Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Disease Forum. In this episode, he will review a paper a paper on the malignancy risk in patients with RA initiating b/tsDMARDS, and the evolution of JAKi prescriptions since 2015 in an international collaboration of rheumatoid arthritis registers.

Join Dr Sofia Ramiro and Dr Atul Dheodhar as they discuss the top publications in the world of axSpA. This month, the conversation covered the impact of shorter versus longer symptom duration on the efficacy of bimekizumab and the factors associated with therapeutic switching in SpA.

Join Professor Peter Nash from the Griffith University in Brisbane, and Doctor Carlo Tur, from the department of Medicine 3-Rheumatology and Immunology, Friedrich-Alexander-University, Erlangen-Nurnberg., as they discuss his recent paper ‘Effects of different B-cell-depleting strategies on the lymphatic tissue’.

Join Professor Peter Nash from the Griffith University in Brisbane, and Professor Andrew Cope from the Centre for Rheumatic Diseases, King’s College London, London, UK, as they discuss his recent paper ‘Long-term outcomes of abatacept in individuals at risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis (ALTO): a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial’.

Join Professor Iain McInnes for the latest episode of Discussing RA on The Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Disease Forum. In this episode, he will review a paper by Taylor et al. where authors report the effects of UPA and ADA on pain in patients with active RA or PsA stratified by inflammatory status, and a paper by Sonomoto et al. which shows the effectiveness of TOF, BAR, UPA and FIL in patients with RA.

Join Professor Laura Coates and Phillip Mease as they discuss the top publications in the world of PsA. This month, the conversation covered the ‘classification of patients into distinct PsA phenotypes based on baseline demographics and clinical characteristics using a machine learning approach, and consensus-derived GRAPPA terminology, to support shared clinical decision making, and enable more effective patient stratification in both observational studies and clinical trials.

Join Professor Peter Nash from the Griffith University in Brisbane, and Professor Matthew Brown, the Chief Scientific Officer at Genomics England, as they discuss his recent paper ‘Low uveitis rates in patients with axial spondyloarthritis treated with bimekizumab: Pooled results from Phase 2b/3 trials’.

Join Professor Iain McInnes for the latest episode of Discussing RA on The Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Disease Forum. In this episode, he will review a paper by Strand et al. that evaluated TOF efficacy, safety, and persistence by sex, and explored whether age-related factors contribute to differences in treatment response between males and females, and by Alten et al. that explored the long‑term effectiveness of baricitinib and other b/tsDMARDs in patients with RA with early low disease activity or remission.

Join Professor Iain McInnes for the latest episode of Discussing RA on The Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Disease Forum. In this episode, he and Doctor Reike Alten will be reviewing two papers. The first paper by Kameda et al. assessed long-term safety and efficacy of UPA over 5 years in Japanese patients with moderate-to- severe active RA and an inadequate response to stable doses of csDMARDs-IR. The second paper by Salvato et al. assessed the impact of chronic oral low-dose GCs on the efficacy and retention rates of JAK inhibitors compared to other mechanisms of action therapies in a cohort of RA patients with inadequate response to TNFi.

Join Dr Sofia Ramiro and Professor Xenofon Baraliakos as they discuss the top publications in the world of axSpA. This month, the conversation covered a retrospective, multinational, cross-sectional survey of real-world outcomes for patients with axial spondyloarthritis receiving subcutaneous infliximab
