Extensive Modeling-Based Bone Formation After 2 Months of Romosozumab Treatment: Results from the FRAME Clinical Trial
Background/Purpose: The bone-forming agent romosozumab (Romo) is a monoclonal antibody that binds to/inhibits sclerostin, leading to increased bone formation and decreased bone resorption. The highest…Abstract Number: 1875 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Subject Characteristics and Changes in Bone Mineral Density After Transitioning from Denosumab to Alendronate in the Denosumab Adherence Preference Satisfaction (DAPS) Study
Background/Purpose: There are limited data on patients transitioning from denosumab (DMAb) to bisphosphonates (BPs). The Denosumab Adherence Preference Satisfaction (DAPS) study (NCT00518531) reported that alendronate…Abstract Number: 1876 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Effect of Discontinuation of Denosumab in Subjects with Rheumatoid Arthritis Treated with Glucocorticoids
Background/Purpose: Denosumab, a monoclonal antibody against RANKL, is approved for the treatment of glucocorticoid (GC) induced osteoporosis (GiOP). In postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, denosumab discontinuation…Abstract Number: 1877 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Romosozumab Improves Lumbar Spine Bone Mineral Density and Bone Strength Greater Than Alendronate as Assessed by Quantitative Computed Tomography and Finite Element Analysis in the ARCH Trial
Background/Purpose: Recent evidence suggests BMD achieved during treatment is a reliable surrogate for fracture risk reduction (Bouxsein JBMR 2019). Romosozumab (Romo) is a bone-forming agent…Abstract Number: 1878 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Quantifying the Placebo Effect After Intra-Articular Injections: Implications for Trials and Practice
Background/Purpose: In recent years, diverse compounds for intra-articular (IA) administration were brought into the market with a subsequent significant and heterogeneous literature production. Understanding the efficacy…Abstract Number: 1879 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
The Relation of Pain Sensitization and Conditioned Pain Modulation to Pain Patterns in Knee Osteoarthritis: The Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study
Background/Purpose: Intermittent pain progresses to constant pain in some, but not all, individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Differing pain mechanisms may underlie these transitions. Later…Abstract Number: 1880 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Baricitinib 4 Mg and 2 Mg Once Daily Reduced Pain in Both Patients Who Were Opioid Users and Non-users in Active Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Post-hoc Analysis of Phase 3 Trials
Background/Purpose: Opioid use in RA patients has increased over the past 2 decades in the US. Little is known about the combined effects of opioids…Abstract Number: 1881 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Association of Pain Centralization with DMARD Response in Active RA
Background/Purpose: Despite the availability of potent disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), a significant percentage of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients do not achieve low disease activity…Abstract Number: 1882 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Anti-CCP Antibody and Pain Sensitization in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Many patients with RA report persistent pain in the absence of clinically appreciable inflammation. In a mouse model of inflammatory arthritis, mice injected with…Abstract Number: 1883 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Elucidating Pain Mechanisms in Polyarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Patients
Background/Purpose: Despite a broad range of available therapeutics, pain remains poorly treated in many juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients1-2. For some patients, the level of pain…Abstract Number: 1884 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Autoantibodies to Malondialdehyde-acetaldehyde Preceding the Diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Previous work has demonstrated that malondialdehyde-acetalehyde (MAA) adducts, resulting from oxidative stress, are formed in synovial and lung tissues of patients with rheumatoid arthritis…Abstract Number: 1885 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
A Search to the Target Tissue in Which RA-specific Inflammation Starts: A Detailed MRI Study to Improve Identification of RA-specific Features in the Phase of Clinically Suspect Arthralgia
Background/Purpose: Based on a unique cohort of clinically suspect arthralgia (CSA) patients, we analysed which combinations of MRI-features at onset were predictive for Rheumatoid Arthritis…Abstract Number: 1886 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Antibody Systems Targeting Citrullinated, Carbamylated, and Peptidyl Arginine Deaminase Autoantigens Distinguish Rheumatoid Arthritis in Combination with Rheumatoid Factors
Background/Purpose: Novel antibody systems including anti-carbamylated protein antibody (anti-CarP IgG) and anti-peptidyl arginine deiminase antibody (anti-PAD4 IgG) are emerging as independent diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers…Abstract Number: 1887 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Anti-Mitochondrial Antibodies Predict Severe Erosive Disease in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Mitochondria are key regulators of metabolism, inflammation and cell death, with mitochondrial dysfunction being associated with several diseases. Though mainly found intracellularly, we recently…
