Abatacept Significantly Reduces Subclinical Inflammation During Treatment (6 Months), This Persists After Discontinuation (12 Months), Resulting in a Delay in the Clinical Development of RA in Patients at Risk of RA (The ARIAA Study)
Background/Purpose: Development of the clinical phase of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is preceded by an autoimmune phase, characterized by the presence of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA),…Abstract Number: 0766 • ACR Convergence 2022
CCP+ Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Arthritis Patients Have Less ACPA Epitope Expansion Than CCP+ Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
Background/Purpose: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have markedly improved the treatment of many advanced cancers; however, they can result in immune-related adverse events (irAE) including ICI-inflammatory…Abstract Number: 0910 • ACR Convergence 2022
Rheumatoid Arthritis Associated Interstitial Lung Disease: The Role of Non-Criteria Autoantibodies
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic joint inflammation. RA-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD) is the most frequent and severe extra-articular…Abstract Number: 0938 • ACR Convergence 2022
Baseline Predictors of Disease Flare upon csDMARD Withdrawal in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis in Sustained Remission After DAS-driven Therapy: Role of the Systemic Autoimmune Status and Peripheral Joint Ultrasound Across a 5-year Follow-up
Background/Purpose: Early diagnosis and treat-to-target strategies with synthetic conventional DMARDs in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have allowed the achievement of remission in a significant percentage of…Abstract Number: 1230 • ACR Convergence 2021
Impact of Serologic Status on Clinical Responses to Upadacitinib or Abatacept in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Prior Inadequate Response to Biologic DMARDs: Sub-Group Analysis from the Phase 3 SELECT-CHOICE Study
Background/Purpose: In patients with RA who had a prior inadequate response or intolerance to biologic DMARDs, the oral Janus kinase inhibitor, upadacitinib (UPA), demonstrated superiority…Abstract Number: 0766 • ACR Convergence 2020
ACPA and Cholesterol Titers as Predictors of Good Clinical Response at One Year in an Argentine Cohort
Background/Purpose: Autoantibody positivity, erosions, activity level, and functional capacity were classically defined as poor prognosis. Paradoxically, many of them also predict a good response to…Abstract Number: 0771 • ACR Convergence 2020
Factors Associated to Clinical and Radiographic Disease Progression in Patients with Early RA and First-degree Relatives: A 1-year Follow-up
Background/Purpose: In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), autoimmunity towards citrullinated peptides driven the hypothesis, in which periodontal disease (PD) is strongly related to the pathogenesis. Given the…Abstract Number: 0772 • ACR Convergence 2020
Modification of THP-1 Cells with Malondialdehyde-Acetaldehyde Increases Cellular Calcium Load Rendering Cells Susceptible to Citrullination of Self-Proteins
Background/Purpose: The post translational modification of self-proteins with malondialdehyde-acetaldehyde (MAA) has been shown to alter protein function and antibodies to MAA are increased in both…Abstract Number: 1453 • ACR Convergence 2020
A First in Class Therapeutic Nanoparticle for Specific Targeting of Anti-citrullinated Protein Antibody Ameliorates Serum Transfer and Collagen Induced Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an immune mediated inflammatory disease with autoimmune features, including antibodies to citrullinated proteins and peptides (ACPAs). Several in vitro studies…Abstract Number: 1753 • ACR Convergence 2020
Substantial Work Limitations in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis Despite Optimal Treat-to-Target (T2T) Drug Therapy Intervention
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with restrictions on occupational participation caused by periods of sick leave (absenteeism), reduced productivity at work due to disease…Abstract Number: 2006 • ACR Convergence 2020
Identification of a Rule to Predict Response to Sarilumab in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis Using Machine Learning and Clinical Trial Data
Background/Purpose: Despite the existence of guidelines for DMARD treatment of RA, a more individualized approach to treatment is needed to maximize efficacy while minimizing risk…
