Monogenic inborn errors of immunity in autoimmune disorders
In conclusion, 50% of children with AID have underlying PIRD.LRBA deficiency andSTAT1 GOF were the most common PIRD. Age at presentation, number of autoimmunity, routine immunological tests, and JMF criteria are not predictive of underlying PIRD. Early diagnosis with exome sequencing alters the prognosis and opens new therapeutic avenue. (Source: Immunologic Research)

Certolizumab pegol, abatacept, tocilizumab or active conventional treatment in early rheumatoid arthritis: 48-week clinical and radiographic results of the investigator-initiated randomised controlled NORD-STAR trial
Conclusions Compared with active conventional therapy, clinical remission rates were superior for abatacept and certolizumab pegol, but not for tocilizumab. Radiographic progression was low and similar between treatments. Trial registration number NCT01491815. (Source: Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases)

Hepatic safety and efficacy of immunomodulatory drugs used in patients with autoimmune hepatitis
CONCLUSION: Among 25 AIH patients who were treated with immunomodulatory drugs for different reasons, the majority had a fovorable course, relapse was frequent in difficult-to-treat patients who received belimumab, and four with concomitant IBD had insufficient response.PMID:37716078 | DOI:10.1016/j.jaut.2023.103113 (Source: Journal of Autoimmunity)

Abatacept in usual and in non-specific interstitial pneumonia associated with rheumatoid arthritis
CONCLUSION: ABA seems equally effective in stabilizing dyspnoea, lung function and radiological impairment in both UIP and NSIP patterns of RA-ILD. Early administration of ABA may prevent RA-ILD progression, regardless of the radiological pattern.PMID:37673775 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejim.2023.08.025 (Source: European Journal of Internal Medicine)

Biologics in steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome in childhood: review and new hypothesis-driven treatment
Nephrotic syndrome affects about 2–7 per 100,000 children yearly and accounts for less than 15% of end stage kidney disease. Steroids still represent the cornerstone of therapy achieving remission in 75–90% of the cases The remaining part result as steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome, characterized by the elevated risk of developing end stage kidney disease and frequently presenting disease recurrence in case of kidney transplant. The pathogenesis of nephrotic syndrome is still far to be elucidated, however, efficacy of immune treatments provided the basis to suggest the involvement of the immune system in the pathoge...

Humoral and T-cell response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
CONCLUSION: In this RA cohort vaccinated with homologous and heterologous regimens against COVID-19, two out of ten patients did not develop IgG anti-SARS-CoV-2, 70% presented neutralizing activity and 65% specific T-cell response. The use of BBIBP-CorV was associated with deficient humoral and cellular response, while treatment with ABA and RTX resulted in an impaired IgG anti-SARS-CoV-2 formation and neutralizing activity.
