Overview of Rheumatoid Arthritis-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease and Its Treatment
Semin Respir Crit Care Med DOI: 10.1055/s-0044-1782218Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common pulmonary complication of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), causing significant morbidity and mortality. Optimal treatment for RA-ILD is not yet well defined. Reliable prognostic indicators are largely byproducts of prior ILD progression, including low or decreasing forced vital capacity and extensive or worsening fibrosis on imaging. In the absence of validated tools to predict treatment response, decisions about whether to initiate or augment treatment are instead based on clinical judgment. In general, treatment should be initiate...

Long Term Follow-Up Of Abatacept, Post-Transplantation Cyclophosphamide and Sirolimus (AbaCyS) based Haploidentical Transplantation in Younger Patients with Nonmalignant Diseases
Haploidentical (Haplo) HCT for nonmalignant diseases (NMD) faces inherent challenges of both alloreactivity and graft failure. Building upon promising results from pilot studies, where abatacept was combined with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) and sirolimus (AbaCyS) in younger NMD patients undergoing haplo-HCT, we present the long-term outcomes of this protocol.

Long-Term Follow-Up of Abatacept, Post-Transplantation Cyclophosphamide, and Sirolimus-Based Haploidentical Transplantation in Younger Patients with Nonmalignant Diseases
Haploidentical (haplo) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for nonmalignant disease (NMD) carries inherent challenges of both alloreactivity and graft failure. Building on promising results from pilot studies in which abatacept was combined with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) and sirolimus (AbaCyS) in younger NMD patients undergoing haplo-HCT, we present the long-term outcomes of this protocol. On the back of uniform disease-specific conditioning regimens containing antithymocyte globulin 4.5 mg/kg from day -9 to day -7, GVHD prophylaxis with AbaCyS consisted of abatacept administered on days 0, +5, +20,...

Two-year treatment persistence with subcutaneous abatacept in rheumatoid arthritis: results from the French cohort of the ASCORE study
CONCLUSIONS: In current practice in France, the rate of subcutaneous abatacept persistence at 2 years was comparable with that of the intravenous form. Treatment persistence was higher when abatacept was used as first-line versus later-line biologic therapy.PMID:38436358 | DOI:10.55563/clinexprheumatol/ddx0fz (Source: Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology)

Abatacept Could Prevent Progression to Rheumatoid Arthritis
Abatacept, a biologic used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA), staved off the disease in people who were at high risk for the condition, according to results from a randomized clinical trial that involved 213 participants from the Netherlands and the UK.

Analyzing the risk of osteoporosis and fracture in rheumatoid arthritis patients who have been treated with various biologics
ConclusionThe treatment option has emerged as a critical determinant in the context of future osteoporosis and osteoporotic fracture risks among RA. These findings offer a valuable resource for clinicians, empowering them to tailor bespoke treatment strategies for RA patients, thereby mitigating the potential for future osteoporosis and fractures.

Comparative effectiveness of biologics in patients with rheumatoid arthritis stratified by body mass index: a cohort study in a Swiss registry
Conclusions No differences in DAS28-remission were found between the study drugs and adalimumab as first biologic in patients with RA, independently of the BMI cohort. We did not find evidence that treatment with abatacept increased the likelihood of remission compared with adalimumab among obese patients with RA. (Source: BMJ Open)
