New Insights into the Management of Giant Cell Arteritis

Lara C. Pullen, PhD  |  January 28, 2020

A systematic literature review identified novel evidence on the treatment and management of GCA that was incorporated into the most recent EULAR recommendations on the management of large vessel vasculitis. Investigators confirmed the efficacy of prompt initiation of glucocorticoids and found fast-track approaches to diagnosis lowered the risk of ischemic complications…

Race May Not Be a Risk Factor for Giant Cell Arteritis

Lara C. Pullen, PhD  |  October 21, 2019

Past research has identified being of Northern European descent as a risk factor, among others such as age, sex and HLA DRB1, for developing giant cell arteritis (GCA). But new research casts doubts on this idea, finding that rates of biopsy proven GCA may not differ by race…

Lessons Learned from Two Scleroderma Lung Studies (Plus a Third That’s Recruiting Sites)

Elizabeth R. Volkmann, MD, MS, Michael D. Roth, MD, Donald P. Tashkin, MD, Cathie Spino, ScD, & Dinesh Khanna, MD, MS  |  August 16, 2019

Historically, the early approach for treating interstitial lung disease (ILD) due to systemic sclerosis (SSc) involved immunosuppressant therapy, primarily with cytotoxic agents.1 Glucocorticoids in combination with another immunosuppressant agent, such as oral azathioprine or cyclophosphamide, were often used to treat patients with severe, progressive SSc-ILD.2 However, direct evidence to support this thera­peutic approach was lacking…

Rheumatology Drugs at a Glance, Part 3: Rheumatoid Arthritis

Mary Choy, PharmD, BCGP, FASHP  |  August 16, 2019

Over the past few years, bio­similars and other new drugs have been introduced to treat rheumatic illnesses. Some of the conditions we treat have numerous drug options, others have few or only off-label options. This series, “Rheumatology Drugs at a Glance,” provides streamlined information on the administration of biologic, biosimilar and small molecule inhibitor drugs…

Upadacitinib Monotherapy Effective in Refractory Rheumatoid Arthritis

Will Boggs MD  |  May 30, 2019

NEW YORK (Reuters Health)—Monotherapy with the JAK1-selective inhibitor upadacitinib is effective in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who have an inadequate response to methotrexate, according to results from the SELECT-MONOTHERAPY phase 3 trial. As many as two-thirds of patients with rheumatoid arthritis receiving methotrexate monotherapy fail to achieve satisfactory disease control. Oral therapy with upadacitinib…
