Objectives Current psoriatic arthritis (PsA) therapies, from conventional agents (e.g. methotrexate) to targeted biologics (e.g. TNF and IL-17 inhibitors), demonstrate distinct therapeutic profiles. Vunakizumab (SHR-1314) is a novel humanized monoclonal antibody targeting IL-17A. The phase 2 trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of vunakizumab in patients with active PsA. Methods Patients aged 18–75 years with a confirmed diagnosis of active PsA were randomized (1:1:1) to receive either subcutaneous vunakizumab 120 mg (n = 38), vunakizumab 240 mg (n = 37), or placebo (n = 37) at weeks 0, 2, 4, and 8. At week 12, patients on placebo were switched to vunakizumab (1:1 re-randomized to 120 mg or 240 mg through week 20), while vunakizumab groups continued treatment. The primary end point was American College of Rheumatology 20% improvement (ACR20) response rate at week 12. Results At week 12, ACR20 response rates were higher in the vunakizumab 120 mg (47.4%) or 240 mg (59.5%) groups vs placebo group (21.6%; p = 0.02 and p = 0.001, respectively). Also, improvements were sustained through 24 weeks and were noted in patients who switched from placebo after week 12. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) incidence exhibited analogous frequencies between vunakizumab (73.7% [120 mg], 64.9% [240 mg]) and placebo (70.3%) during the 12-week core treatment period, and no severe TEAEs occurred. Conclusions Vunakizumab demonstrated superior efficacy to placebo and was well tolerated with an acceptable safety profile in patients with active PsA. The findings support proceeding to a phase 3 study. Trial registration number www. clinicaltrials.gov; NCT05055934
目前的银屑病关节炎(PsA)治疗,从传统药物(如甲氨蝶呤)到靶向生物制剂(如TNF和IL-17抑制剂),显示出不同的治疗效果。Vunakizumab (shrr -1314)是一种新的靶向IL-17A的人源化单克隆抗体。该2期试验评估了vunakizumab治疗活动性PsA患者的有效性和安全性。方法年龄在18-75岁、确诊为活动性PsA的患者随机(1:1:1)接受皮下vunakizumab 120mg (n = 38)、vunakizumab 240mg (n = 37)或安慰剂(n = 37)治疗,时间分别为0、2、4和8周。在第12周,服用安慰剂的患者切换到vunakizumab(在第20周1:1重新随机分配到120 mg或240 mg),而vunakizumab组继续治疗。主要终点是第12周美国风湿病学会20%改善(ACR20)缓解率。在第12周,vunakizumab 120 mg(47.4%)或240 mg(59.5%)组的ACR20应答率高于安慰剂组(21.6%;p = 0.02和p = 0.001)。此外,改善持续了24周,并且在第12周后从安慰剂切换到安慰剂的患者中也有注意到。在12周的核心治疗期间,vunakizumab (73.7% [120 mg], 64.9% [240 mg])和安慰剂(70.3%)的治疗不良事件(teae)发生率相似,未发生严重的teae。结论:Vunakizumab表现出优于安慰剂的疗效,并且在活动性PsA患者中具有良好的耐受性和可接受的安全性。这些发现支持进行3期研究。试验注册号www。clinicaltrials.gov;NCT05055934

Objectives To describe and compare the clinical features, imaging findings, and outcomes of lupus myocarditis (LM) patients with those of active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) without myocarditis (SLE-non-LM) and acute myocarditis non-autoimmune (AM-non-AI) patients. Methods Design: retrospective cohort study including 32 LM patients diagnosed between 2005-2022, matched 1:1 by age and sex with active SLE-non-LM and AM-non-AI groups. SLE patients (EULAR/ACR 2019), with clinically suspected myocarditis by European Society of Cardiology and confirmed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging (Updated Lake Louise criteria). Clinical, laboratory, electrocardiographic, echocardiographic, and CMR findings, as well as outcomes, were compared across groups with a 2-year follow-up. Results LM patients presented with higher rates of fever and cardiogenic shock compared with AM-non-AI. Echocardiography revealed significantly more wall motion abnormalities (71.9% vs 25.0%, p< 0.001), reduced LVEF (56.3% vs 18.8%, p= 0.002), pulmonary hypertension (37.5% vs 3.1%, p= 0.001), and valvular abnormalities (65.5% vs 3.1%, p< 0.001). On CMR, LM patients had a higher prevalence of late gadolinium enhancement (65.6% vs 37.5%, p= 0.024) and higher rates of pericardial involvement and valvular regurgitation. Pancarditis was identified exclusively in LM patients (65.6% vs 0%, p< 0.001). Outcomes were worse in LM, with increased ICU admission (28.1% vs 6.3%, p= 0.043) and invasive mechanical ventilation (25.0% vs 3.1%, p= 0.027). However, 2-year mortality was comparable between LM and AM-non-AI groups. Conclusion LM is a distinct and severe phenotype of SLE, characterized by pancarditis and unique imaging features. Echocardiography and CMR are pivotal in early recognition, with prognostic implications.
目的描述并比较狼疮性心肌炎(LM)患者与活动性系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)无心肌炎(SLE-non-LM)和急性非自身免疫性心肌炎(AM-non-AI)患者的临床特征、影像学表现和预后。方法设计:回顾性队列研究,纳入2005-2022年间诊断的32例LM患者,按年龄和性别1:1匹配活跃的sle -非LM组和am -非ai组。SLE患者(EULAR/ACR 2019),经欧洲心脏病学会临床怀疑为心肌炎,并经心脏磁共振(CMR)成像证实(更新的Lake Louise标准)。临床、实验室、心电图、超声心动图和CMR的结果以及结果,在2年的随访中进行了组间比较。结果LM患者发热和心源性休克发生率高于am -非ai患者。超声心动图显示明显更多的壁运动异常(71.9% vs 25.0%, p amp;lt; 0.001), LVEF降低(56.3% vs 18.8%, p= 0.002),肺动脉高压(37.5% vs 3.1%, p= 0.001)和瓣膜异常(65.5% vs 3.1%, p amp;lt; 0.001)。在CMR上,LM患者晚期钆增强的患病率更高(65.6% vs 37.5%, p= 0.024),心包受累和瓣膜反流的发生率更高。胰脏炎仅在LM患者中发现(65.6% vs 0%, p< 0.001)。LM患者的预后更差,ICU住院人数增加(28.1% vs 6.3%, p= 0.043),有创机械通气(25.0% vs 3.1%, p= 0.027)。然而,LM组和am -非ai组的2年死亡率具有可比性。结论LM是一种明显且严重的SLE表型,以胰脏炎和独特的影像学特征为特征。超声心动图和CMR是早期识别的关键,具有预后意义。

Objective To explore how appropriate different intervals between monitoring blood tests are considered in relation to the risk of clinically significant adverse drug reactions in adults prescribed csDMARDs for ≥1 year for systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARD). Method A RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method consensus study was undertaken. Members of the BSR csDMARD guideline working group who manage adults with SARD participated. Experts rated the extent to which intervals between blood tests were appropriate using Likert-type scales with responses from 1 (totally inappropriate) to 9 (totally appropriate) for 9 scenarios with 5-year predicted risk of discontinuing treatment due to abnormal monitoring blood tests from 5% to 25%. Median score and the number that voted 1–3 (inappropriate), 4–6 (unsure), and 7–9 (appropriate) were calculated for every interval in each scenario. Scenarios for which agreement could not be reached in the first round were recirculated, enclosing individual round one response and the panel median score. Consensus that an interval was appropriate for a scenario was reached where the median panel score was ≥7 and up to 6 experts rated &lt;7. The results were discussed with PPI members and experts. Results Twenty-one of the 27 invitees participated. They comprised 11 consultants/GPs, five specialist nurses, three pharmacists, and two rheumatology specialty trainees. Consensus was reached for all scenarios. Six- and three-monthly blood tests were agreed as appropriate when the predicted risk was ≤10% and &gt;10% over 5-years respectively. Conclusion A threshold to aid risk-stratified monitoring during established csDMARD treatment was agreed for adults with SARD.
目的探讨在治疗系统性自身免疫性风湿病(SARD)且服用csDMARDs≥1年的成人患者中,如何考虑不同的监测血检间隔与临床显著药物不良反应风险的关系。方法采用兰德/加州大学洛杉矶分校的适宜性方法共识研究。BSR cssdmard指南工作组的成员参与了SARD成人患者的管理。专家使用李克特量表对9种情况进行了适当的血液检查间隔程度评分,反应从1(完全不合适)到9(完全合适),5年预测因监测血液检查异常而停止治疗的风险从5%到25%。中位数得分和投票1-3(不合适),4-6(不确定)和7-9(合适)的数字在每个场景的每个间隔计算。在第一轮中无法达成协议的情景被重新分发,并附上个别第一轮回答和小组的中位数得分。在小组得分中位数≥7且多达6位专家评分为&;lt;7的情况下,达成了一个合适的区间的共识。结果与PPI成员和专家进行了讨论。结果27名被邀请者中有21人参加。他们包括11名顾问/全科医生、5名专科护士、3名药剂师和2名风湿病专科实习生。各方就所有方案达成了共识。当预测风险≤10%和&;gt;5年以上分别为10%。结论:对于成人SARD患者,在已建立的csDMARD治疗过程中,一个有助于风险分层监测的阈值是一致的。

Objectives To quantify the number and cumulative radiation dose of pelvic and lumbar radiographs obtained before sacroiliac computed tomography (CT) confirmed diagnosis of radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA), and to assess potential dose reduction if CT had been used instead of repeated radiographs. Methods Pelvic and lumbar radiographs performed prior to CT were identified from institutional and national databases. Literature-derived effective dose estimates were applied to calculate minimum- and maximum-bound cumulative radiographic doses per patient. Hypothetical scenarios assumed diagnosis via a single low-dose CT (0.5 mSv) or conventional CT (4–10 mSv). Paired Wilcoxon signed-rank tests compared cumulative X-ray doses with CT benchmarks. Results A total of 235 radiographs were performed before CT (mean 2.47 per patient, range 0–8). Most patients (77.9%) had ≥2 combined radiographs, often clustered into multiple imaging sessions. Minimum-bound cumulative X-ray dose ranged from 0.00–1.60 mSv (median 0.40 mSv), and maximum dose from 0.20–11.20 mSv (median 2.80 mSv). Under minimum assumptions, radiographic exposure was similar to low-dose CT (p= 0.307), with 10.5% ≥0.5 mSv. Under maximum assumptions, exposure was markedly higher (median +2.30 mSv, p&lt; 0.001; 82.1% ≥0.5 mSv). Compared with a fixed 4.0 mSv conventional CT benchmark, no patients in the minimum scenario and 7 (7.4%) in the maximum scenario exceeded threshold. Conclusions In CT-confirmed r-axSpA, multiple radiographs are frequently obtained before definitive imaging, adding substantial radiation without improving diagnostic yield, whereas a single appropriately indicated low-dose CT could achieve structural assessment with less redundant exposure.
目的量化骶髂计算机断层扫描(CT)确诊轴性脊柱性关节炎(r-axSpA)前骨盆和腰椎x线片的数量和累积辐射剂量,并评估如果使用CT代替重复x线片可能减少的剂量。方法从机构和国家数据库中确定CT前进行的骨盆和腰椎x线片。采用文献推导的有效剂量估计值来计算每位患者的最小和最大累积放射学剂量。假设通过单次低剂量CT (0.5 mSv)或常规CT (4-10 mSv)进行诊断。配对Wilcoxon符号秩试验比较了累积x射线剂量与CT基准。结果CT前共行x线片235张(平均2.47张/例,范围0 ~ 8)。大多数患者(77.9%)有≥2张联合x线片,通常聚集在多个成像阶段。最小界限累积x射线剂量范围为0.00-1.60毫西弗(中位数0.40毫西弗),最大剂量范围为0.20-11.20毫西弗(中位数2.80毫西弗)。在最低假设条件下,放射照相暴露与低剂量CT相似(p= 0.307), 10.5%≥0.5 mSv。在最大假设下,暴露明显更高(中位数+2.30 mSv, p< 0.001; 82.1%≥0.5 mSv)。与固定4.0 mSv常规CT基准相比,最小场景中没有患者超过阈值,最大场景中有7例(7.4%)患者超过阈值。结论对于CT确诊的r-axSpA,在确定成像前经常需要多张x线片,这增加了大量的辐射,但却不能提高诊断率,而单次适当指示的低剂量CT可以在减少冗余暴露的情况下进行结构评估。

Conclusions In CT-confirmed r-axSpA, multiple radiographs are frequently obtained before definitive imaging, adding substantial radiation without improving diagnostic yield, whereas a single appropriately indicated low-dose CT could achieve structural assessment with less redundant exposure.","PeriodicalId":21255,"journal":{"name":"Rheumatology","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146110017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
