Ex Vivo Comparative Immunogenicity Assessment (EVCIA) to Determine Relative Immunogenicity in Chronic Plaque Psoriasis in Participants Receiving Humira® or Undergoing Repeated Switches Between Humira and AVT02
Background/Purpose: A common reason for clinical development failure of biologic medicines is immunogenicity. Immunogenicity is traditionally measured by detecting neutralizing (NAb) anti-drug antibodies (ADA) in…Abstract Number: 0831 • ACR Convergence 2022
Management of Hepatic Sarcoidosis, a Retrospective Analysis of Patients at a University Hospital
Background/Purpose: Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease which can affect the GI system in about 5-10% of cases, out of which 11-80% can have hepatic…Abstract Number: 0897 • ACR Convergence 2022
Reasons for Multiple Biologic DMARD Switching and Characteristics of “Extreme Treatment Nonresponders” in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Despite the efficacy of modern biologic and small molecule medications, a significant proportion of RA patients have inadequate response to multiple therapies. These patients…Abstract Number: 0577 • ACR Convergence 2021
Comorbidity Burden as Scored Using the Rheumatic Disease Comorbidity Index (RDCI) Is Associated with Varying Treatment Patterns in Patients with Inflammatory Arthritis – a Study Using the EHR-Derived Rheumatic and Arthritis Disease Information Registry (RADIR)
Background/Purpose: Higher comorbidity burden (CB) has been associated with treatment choices in RA, but not assessed in populations including multiple forms of inflammatory arthritis (IA)…Abstract Number: 1251 • ACR Convergence 2021
Serum B Cell Activating Factor Reflects Good EULAR Response to TNF Inhibition in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: The latest breakthroughs in the pathophysiology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) highlighted the activation of B cells as a trigger of the joint flare initiation…Abstract Number: 2029 • ACR Convergence 2020
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Compared to Standard Treatment of Patients Starting Infliximab: Results from a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial of 400 Patients
Background/Purpose: A lack or loss of response to TNFα inhibitors (TNFi) has been associated with low serum drug levels and formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADAb).…Abstract Number: 0168 • ACR Convergence 2020
