Objective: to compare the clinical efficacy of seniprutug (BCD-180) and adalimumab (ADA) in the treatment of adults with active radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA).Materials and methods. Based on the results of a previously conducted systematic review, an unanchored matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC) was performed, adjusting for confounding factors. The analysis was based on the results of randomized placebo-controlled clinical trials of seniprutug (BCD-180-2/ELEFTA, NCT05445076) and ADA (ATLAS, NCT00085644) that met the selection criteria. We chose ASAS40 and ASAS20 measurements at week 24 as efficacy outcomes. Initial BASDAI and BASFI indices, proportion of women in the study population, time from disease onset, and baseline C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were considered as confounders.Results and discussion. The MAIC showed a statistically significant advantage in the clinical efficacy of seniprutug (BCD-180) over ADA. When adjusted, the odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for seniprutug (BCD-180)/ADA were 1.86 (1.15; 3.02) and 2.21 (1.34; 3.72) for ASAS40 and ASAS20, respectively, at week 24.Conclusion. The MAIC demonstrated statistically significant superiority of seniprutug (BCD-180) over ADA on the key efficacy endpoints ASAS40 and ASAS20 at week 24 in adults with active r-axSpA. The inclusion of the innovative domestic drug seniprutug into treatment paradigm of active r-axSpA will potentially reduce the socio-economic burden of this disease by providing an affordable, effective and safe therapy while optimizing healthcare costs

Objective: to compare the course of “rheumatoid disease” in multimorbid patients with and without interstitial lung disease (ILD).Material and methods. Two groups were formed of 1034 patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who met the 2010 ACR/EULAR criteria: one group with ILD identified by high-resolution computed tomography of the lungs (n=82) and another – without ILD (n=900). In all patients, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was determined using the Cockroft–Gault formula. The presence and stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD) was assessed depending on the eGFR level: stage I CKD was diagnosed in eGFR <89 ml/min, stage II (subclinical) – 60

Objective: to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the type I interferon (IFN) receptor inhibitor anifrolumab (AFM, Safnelo®) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in real-life clinical practice over an observation period of 6 months.Material and methods. The prospective 6-month study included 21 patients with SLE fulfilling the 2012 SLICC criteria, predominantly women (n=17,81%), median age – 31 [27; 46] years, disease duration – 9 [6.0; 11.0] years. Standard laboratory values and immunological markers of SLE were examined in all patients. The SLEDAI-2K index was used to determine the activity of SLE, and the severity of the mucocutaneous syndrome was assessed using the Cutaneous Lupus Disease Area and Severity Index (CLASI) index. Organ damage was assessed using the SLICC/ACR Damage Index (DI). After 6 months, the achievement of low activity was assessed according to the Lupus Low Disease Activity State (LLDAS) indexResults and discussion. At the time of inclusion in the study, the mean SLEDAI-2K activity index for the group was 8 [6.0; 10.0] points, the median CLASI index – 8.6±8.2 points, 81% of patients had skin and mucosal lesions, 66% had non-erosive polyarthritis, and high immunological activity was observed in all cases. Various irreversible organ damage was observed in 86 of patients. The average DI was 2.2±1.5 points. At the start of AFM therapy, all patients received glucocorticoids (GCs) at a mean dose of 10.7±5.6 mg/day, 52% of patients received a dose above 10 mg/day, 76% of patients continued to take hydroxychloroquine, and 33% of patients took immunosuppressants. Significant positive dynamics were observed with AFM therapy. The average CLASI index for the group after 3 months of treatment was 1.2±4.1 points, after 6 months – 0.3±1.2 points (p<0.0001). The SLEDAI-2K index fell significantly in the group on average from 8 [6.0; 10.0] to 2 [2.0; 4.0] points from the 3rd month of treatment (p<0.0001) and remained at the same level after 6 months. At month 6 of treatment, 13 (62%) of 21 patients met the LLDAS criteria for low disease activity. After the 3rd month of treatment, a significant decrease in antibodies against dsDNA was observed, which persisted for 6 months after the start of treatment. In the group as a whole, there were no significant changes in complement fractions values during the observation period. There was no increase in irreversible organ damage (DI – mean 2.2±1.5 points). The mean daily dose of GCs was significantly reduced from 10.7±5.6 mg/day to 7.5±4.0 mg/day (p<0.01) by the 3rd month and to 5.2±2.1 (p<0.001) by the 6th month of treatment. No infusion reactions were observed in any case. Adverse events occurred in 9 (42%) out of 21 patients, mainly herpes infections of varying severity, mainly after the 1st to 3rd infusions. In one case, severe herpes zoster was observed, so the drug was discontinued.Conclusion. At a dose of 300 mg intravenously monthly AFM is a highly effective drug with a relat

The vitamin B1, B6 and B12 complex (VBC) is frequently used to treat acute and chronic low back pain.Objective: to investigate the effect of a combination of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and a VBC on the main manifestations of nociceptive system dysfunction in patients with combination of osteoarthritis (OA) and chronic non-specific low back pain (NSLBP).Material and methods. The study group consisted of 99 patients (82% women, mean age 63.6±17.2 years) with OA of various localization andNSLBP who had moderate to severe pain (≥4 on a numerical rating scale, NRS 0–10). All patients received etoricoxib 60 mg/day (up to 14 days) and a course of intramuscular (IM) injections of VBC (a drug for parenteral administration containing solutions of thiamine 100 mg, pyridoxine 100 mg, cyanocobalamin 1.0 mg and lidocaine 20 mg) 2.0 ml №10. Treatment outcome was assessed after 14 days.Results and discussion. During treatment, the vast majority of patients showed a significant improvement: the median severity of pain on movement (NRS) decreased from 6.3 [5.0; 8.0] to 3.7 [3.0; 5.0], p=0.0001; functional impairment – from 3.8 [2.0; 6.0] to 2.2 [1.0; 3.0], p=0.001; fatigue – from 5.6 [4.0; 8.0] to 3.5 [0.0; 2.0], p=0.0001. 71.6% of patients rated the treatment results as good or excellent. Six patients had adverse reactions: 2 – local pain at the site of the intramuscular injections, 1 – arterial hypertension, 3 – epigastric pain. No serious adverse events were recorded.Conclusion. The combined use of NSAIDs and VBC can provide significant improvement in patients with a combination of OA and NSLBP.

NiSpAR is a non-interventional, multicenter study whose aim was to describe a cohort of patients with non-radiological axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) and approaches to its diagnosis in the Russian Federation.Material and methods. The study involved 20 research centers in different regions of the Russian Federation. The work consisted of two phases: retrospective data collection 12 months before enrolment in the study and prospective observation of patients in whom the diagnosis of nr-axSpA was confirmed (104 weeks).The study included 272 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria (Full Analysis Set, FAS). The mean age of the FAS-population was 38.7±11.0 years. The diagnosis of nr-axSpA was confirmed in 159 (58.5 %) of the 272 patients. Of the remaining 113 (41.5%) participants, 57 (50.4%) did not have the information required to confirm the diagnosis, 34 (30.1%) did not have pelvic radiographs, and 22 (19.5%) did not fulfil the ASAS criteria for nr-axSpA.Results and discussion. The mean age of patients with nr-axSpA was 37.6±10.4 years, more than half of them (52.8%) were women. The median disease duration was 36 [12; 80] months. In half of the patients the disease duration was more than 2 years, in more than one third – less than 2 years. The median CRP and ESR values were 5.0 [2.0; 12.0] mg/l and 11.0 [5.0; 18.0] mm/h, respectively. The BASDAI averaged 3.5±2.0 and was >4 in more than half of the cases (64.2%). The mean ASDAS-CRP value reached 2.6±1.1. Only 1 in 5 participants (20.8%) had low axSpA activity, while in 61.1% it was high (44.7%) or very high (16.4%). An inactive state was found in a small number of patients (9.4%). Twenty two (13.8%) patients had treatment with biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) in anamnesis, and 21 (13.2%) patients were still taking them.Conclusion. The results of the retrospective phase of the study show that in real-life clinical practice in the Russian Federation there is a continued positive trend towards improving the diagnosis of nr-axSpA. The median duration of the disease at the time of enrolment in the study was 3 years. The frequency of use of magnetic resonance imaging has increased by more than 1.8 times. At the same time, practitioners still have difficulties in establishing the diagnosis of nr-axSpA and a shortage of bDMARDs for treatment of these patients.

Diet has traditionally been viewed as playing a leading role in both the pathogenesis and treatment of gout. And although this thesis is controversial today, adherence to certain dietary rules for patients with gout and hyperuricemia (HU) is an integral part of therapy. The review examines the modern theoretical basis of dietary therapy for gout and HU, in particular the mechanisms of increasing serum uric acid levels and the risk of developing arthritis when certain foods are consumed and, conversely, reducing uric acid levels and the risk of gout when a diet containing a range of vitamins and foods in the supplements is followed.

Takayasu arteritis (AT) is a chronic granulomatous systemic vasculitis that affects large vessels and requires a multidisciplinary approach as the clinical signs are non-specific and disease activity is difficult to assess. Early rational drug treatment of AT suppresses both vascular and systemic inflammation, with glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants being of paramount importance. Advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of AT have contributed to the development of new treatments that target key pro-inflammatory factors and involve the use of biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs.
高安动脉炎(AT)是一种影响大血管的慢性肉芽肿性系统性血管炎,由于临床症状无特异性,且疾病活动性难以评估,因此需要多学科联合治疗。AT 的早期合理药物治疗可抑制血管和全身炎症,其中糖皮质激素和免疫抑制剂至关重要。对 AT 病理生理学认识的进步促进了针对关键促炎因子的新疗法的开发,并涉及到生物改变病情抗风湿药物的使用。

Hip joint inflammation (coxitis) occurs in almost half of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and often leads to early disability. A therapy for this condition has not yet been developed, although it is one of the indications for the initiation of biologic therapy in national recommendations. The review presents data from recent clinical trials on the use of biologics, focusing on the Russian national multicenter study of GO-COX in patients with AS with coxitis.Tumour necrosis factor-α inhibitors have been shown to be effective against inflammatory affection of the hip joint in patients with AS, and their administration over a two-year period inhibits the progression of coxitis.

A patient with a subacute course of systemic sclerosis (SSc) and a three-phase Raynaud's phenomenon at the onset of the disease is described. The diagnosis was made in accordance with the ACR/EULAR 2013 criteria. Within 8 months of disease onset, the patient developed the classic picture of SSc with multiple organ involvement, and nailfold capillaroscopy showed signs of the active stage of scleroderma angiopathy. The factors for an unfavorable course of SSc were analyzed.

Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is one of the very rare systemic autoimmune diseases; it accounts for 0.1–0.6% of cases in pediatric rheumatologists' practices. MCTD is characterized by a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations and a high frequency of extremely unspecific symptoms at the onset, with the overall picture of the disease forming slowly and gradually. The diagnosis is often delayed and confirmed only at an advanced stage of organ dysfunction with the development of irreversible changes.Objective: to identify a group of patients fulfilling the criteria for MCTD in an open, single-center, continuous retrospective study among anti-ribonucleoprotein (anti-RNP) antibody-positive patients and to analyze their demographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics and therapy.Material and methods. All anti-RNP-positive patients admitted to the pediatric department of V.A. Nasonova Research Institute of Rheumatology from 2019 to 2023 and meeting at least one of the variants of the MCTD criteria (Kasukawa, Alarcуn-Segovia, Kahn and Sharp criteria) were included in the study.Results and discussion. 18 (56.25%, 17 girls and 1 boy) of 32 anti-RNP-positive patients fulfilled criteria for MCTD. Patients most frequently fulfilled a combination of criteria – Sharp and Kahn (n=8) or Alarcуn-Segovia and Kahn (n=8). The median age of onset of MCTD was 12.2 [9.7; 13.9] years. The most common clinical manifestations were arthritis (100%), various skin lesions (94.4 %), Raynaud's phenomenon (88.9%), lymphadenopathy (72.2%) and general constitutional disorders (50%). Sjögren's syndrome (SS) was diagnosed in 17 (94.4%) patients. All patients had antinuclear factor (ANF) 1/1280, and the anti-RNP level was >200 U/ml. There were also antibodies against double-stranded DNA (n=5), Ro- (n=4) and Sm- (n=5) antigens. An IgM rheumatoid factor was detected in 6 patients and hypergammaglobulinemia in 10 patients. Capillaroscopic changes in the nailfold with predominant scleroderma type were found in 77.8% of patients. The most common combination was of Raynaud's phenomenon, arthritis, SS, lymphadenopathy and hypergammaglobulinemia (50%). All patients received glucocorticoids, 9 – hydroxychloroquine, 8 – methotrexate, 3 – mycophenolate mofetil, 1 – cyclophosphamide, 1 – azathioprine. Biologic DMARDs (bDMARDs) were prescribed to 12 (66.7%) patients: 3 – rituximab, 8 – abatacept, 1 – belimumab, with an acceptable safety profile and initial efficacy.Conclusion. Most patients in the study met the Kahn criteria. Only 2 patients met all variants of the criteria, which indicates the need to use a combination of criteria when a MCTD is suspected. A combination of Raynaud's phenomenon, arthritis, SS, lymphadenopathy and hypergammaglobulinemia was observed in half of patients with MCTD. The presence of Raynaud's phenomenon and high ANF titer in children with rheumatic diseases, especially with a polymorphic clinical picture, requires the inclusion of MCTD in differential d
