Really interesting study this week comparing the IL17 inhibitor ixekizumab WITH the GLP1 inhibitor tirzepatide to ixekizumab alone. Raises some interesting questions about what worked here and whether or not it matters how it worked. Paper: https://acrjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/art.70134 Newsletter: http://autoimmunedevreport.com/
Great trial this week looking at brepocitinib in dermatomyositis. Looks like a winner, expect it will be approved. Where it fits in our approach to IIM is an open question, but nice to have another option.

Good RCT this week, investigating the CD20 B cell inhibitor obinutuzumab for SLE. Sign up for my newsletter if you would like to have a read-along companion piece!

Quick podcast this week about a nifty head to head study that I had previously missed. Worth reading if - like me - you're still trying to figure out how the heck to manage osteoporosis. Paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28755782/
Today I cover the recent publication of the RESET-RA study, which evaluated vagal nerve stimulation to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Have a listen in full, but let me be clear upfront: I do not think this works and will not be referring any patients to receive it. This will forever be my pivotal example of the effect of unblinding, but would love to hear if you think different! Paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-025-04114-7 Supplement (see S4): https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-025-04114-7#Sec27
Surprisingly (unbelievably?) impressive RCT evaluating the Blys/APRIL inhibitor "telitacicept" for patients with SLE (mixed SLE and SLE-LN). Very curious to see where the FDA goes with this one. Paper: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2414719
Ever wonder how often you really need to check "monitoring" labs? If so then this is the podcast for you! Bryant England mentioned this during his excellent Year in Review session at ACR Convergence 2025. I've been meaning to cover it and finally got around to doing so. Have a listen and share with friends! Paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40854212/
Covering a very interesting study this week, which investiaged the PDE4B inhibitor nerandomilast for patients with progressive pulmonary fibrosis (specifically including 325 patients with autoimmune ILD). Would have been yet another ho hum trial if not for the big reveal... have a listen to find out! Article: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2503643
