Title: RA – Diagnosis, Manifestations, & Outcomes Poster III: Comorbidities

Session Type: Poster Session (Tuesday)

Session Time: 9:00AM-11:00AM

Background/Purpose: Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) is a severe extraarticular manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) has a poor prognosis. Effectives treatments in RA such as anti-TNF have been implicated in the  exacerbation of  ILD. 
Our objective was see the efficacy of Abatacept in ILD associated with RA.

Methods: Retrospective multicenter study of RA patients with ILD treated with ABA atleast for 3 doses.  The ILD was diagnosed by HRCT. We have analyzed the following variables: a) 1-point change the Modified Medical Research Council (MMRC); b) FVC improvement or decline ≥10%; improvement or decrline ≥10% in DLCO c) radiological improvement in HRCT scan, d) changes in DAS28 score. e) prednisone dose.  Values were compared with baseline.

Results: We studied 263 patients (150 women /113 men) with ILD associated to RA. The patients were smokers or exsmoker in a 53%. APCC was positive in  88.6%. The follow-up mean was 22.66±19.66 months. The mean age was 64.64 ± 10 years. The median to progression of ILD was 12 [3-41.25] months. The mean DLCO at onset was 65,68±18.33 and the FVC at onset was 85.88±21.77  111 patients were treated in monotherapy.
The most frequent pattern was UIP 41,6% 32,7% NSIP 24,7% “others” thats include mixed patterns  BONO or BO.

The Figure1 expresses the evolution of the avalible data.
DAS28 also improved from 4.501±1.486 to 3.107±1.333 and we also appreciate a decrease in the dose of prednisone from the initial mean 7.5 [5-10] to the final mean 5mg [5-7.5]. The global mean of FVC at the end of follow up was 85.3±20.69 the global mean of DLCO at the end of follow up was 65.35±19.88 both similar to the onset mean.

Conclusion: Abatacept could be a relatively safe and effective treatment for patients with interstitial lung involvement associated with rheumatoid arthritis. However, should be verified in prospective and randomized studies.

All abstracts accepted to ACR Convergence are under media embargo once the ACR has notified presenters of their abstract’s acceptance. They may be presented at other meetings or published as manuscripts after this time but should not be discussed in non-scholarly venues or outlets. The following embargo policies are strictly enforced by the ACR.

Accepted abstracts are made available to the public online in advance of the meeting and are published in a special online supplement of our scientific journal, Arthritis & Rheumatology. Information contained in those abstracts may not be released until the abstracts appear online. In an exception to the media embargo, academic institutions, private organizations, and companies with products whose value may be influenced by information contained in an abstract may issue a press release to coincide with the availability of an ACR abstract on the ACR website. However, the ACR continues to require that information that goes beyond that contained in the abstract (e.g., discussion of the abstract done as part of editorial news coverage) is under media embargo until 10:00 AM ET on November 14, 2024. Journalists with access to embargoed information cannot release articles or editorial news coverage before this time. Editorial news coverage is considered original articles/videos developed by employed journalists to report facts, commentary, and subject matter expert quotes in a narrative form using a variety of sources (e.g., research, announcements, press releases, events, etc.).

Violation of this policy may result in the abstract being withdrawn from the meeting and other measures deemed appropriate. Authors are responsible for notifying colleagues, institutions, communications firms, and all other stakeholders related to the development or promotion of the abstract about this policy. If you have questions about the ACR abstract embargo policy, please contact ACR abstracts staff at [email protected].
