Background/Purpose: SPI-62 is a potent 11b-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (HSD-1) inhibitor entering Phase 2 development as adjunctive therapy to prednisolone in polymyalgia rheumatica, as well…Abstract Number: 1584 • ACR Convergence 2022
Colchicine or Prednisone for the Treatment of Acute Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition Arthritis: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
Background/Purpose: Treatment of acute CPP arthritis mainly relies on expert opinion, as there are no trials that assessed the efficacy of anti-inflammatory drugs, despite the…Abstract Number: 1795 • ACR Convergence 2022
Therapeutic Strategies for Patients with Chronic Manifestations of Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition Disease
Background/Purpose: Calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) disease lacks recommendations on treatment strategies. This study reports on treatment modalities used in European tertiary hospitals for the management…Abstract Number: 1837 • ACR Convergence 2022
Eales Disease and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Syndrome: Not Everything Is Anterior Uveitis in Rheumatology
Background/Purpose: Ocular inflammatory involvement for being closely related to systemic autoimmune diseases is monitored and treated in our rheumatology visits. The most frequently studied by…Abstract Number: 1843 • ACR Convergence 2022
Trends in the Cumulative Exposure to Corticosteroids in Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) Patients: A Single Academic Center Experience
Background/Purpose: Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) treatment is predominantly based on long-term corticosteroids, which results in significant corticosteroid-related toxicities. Studies1,2 have shown patients with PMR are exposed…Abstract Number: 1909 • ACR Convergence 2022
Corticosteroids with or Without Hyaluronic Acid Injections in the Treatment of Trapeziometacarpal (TMC) Osteoarthritis : The Randomised Multicentre RHIZ’ART Trial Study Protocol
