<div><h3>Background</h3><div>Data from head-to-head trials of immunomodulatory therapies for Behçet's disease are scarce. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of ciclosporin, interferon alfa-2a, and adalimumab, each combined with corticosteroids, in preventing uveitis relapse in patients with severe Behçet's disease.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>We did a randomised, open-label, assessor-masked, head-to-head trial at a large, specialised uveitis centre in Chongqing, China. Patients aged 18 years or older with severe Behçet's disease uveitis on corticosteroids and naive to anti-TNF therapy were eligible. Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to ciclosporin (2–5 mg/kg per day orally), interferon alfa-2a (3 million IU per day subcutaneously), or adalimumab (40 mg every 2 weeks subcutaneously), each combined with a tapering dose of corticosteroids with subsequent dose adjustments. The primary outcome was the annualised relapse rate of uveitis, assessed in the full analysis set (all randomly assigned patients with at least one post-baseline assessment). The non-inferiority margin of difference between the interferon alfa-2a and adalimumab groups was set to 1·0 for the primary outcome. Safety was assessed in all patients who received at least one dose of trial drugs. Individuals with lived experience of Behçet's disease uveitis were involved in the trial design and implementation. This study is registered with Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR2000031637. The trial is ongoing, but is closed to new participants.</div></div><div><h3>Findings</h3><div>Between May 12, 2020, and Feb 22, 2022, a total of 270 patients (mean age 38·1 years [SD 9·8]; 213 [79%] men, 57 [21%] women; 270 [100%] east Asian ethnicity) were randomly assigned to ciclosporin, interferon alfa-2a, or adalimumab (n=90 in each group); 261 patients were included in the full analysis set. For the primary outcome, the least-squares mean was 1·84 (95% CI 1·40 to 2·44) with ciclosporin, 1·44 (1·10 to 1·89) with interferon alfa-2a, and 0·95 (0·64 to 1·40) with adalimumab. The annualised relapse rate was significantly higher in patients receiving ciclosporin than in those receiving adalimumab (least-squares mean difference 0·90 [95% CI 0·27 to 1·53]; p=0·0054 for superiority). The least-squares mean difference between interferon alfa-2a and adalimumab was 0·50 (–0·04 to 1·04), which did not meet non-inferiority criteria (p=0·034 for non-inferiority). The primary outcome did not differ substantially between interferon alfa-2a and ciclosporin (least-squares mean difference –0·40 [–1·05 to 0·25]; p=0·23 for superiority). Serious adverse events were reported in 12 (13%) of 90 patients on ciclosporin plus corticosteroids, eight (9%) of 90 patients on interferon alfa-2a plus corticosteroids, and seven (8%) of 90 patients on adalimumab plus corticosteroids.

Background
Raynaud's phenomenon is the earliest and most common systemic sclerosis manifestation. Episodes can be triggered by cold exposure and ambient temperature changes. Small studies have found that Raynaud's phenomenon outcomes were associated with season. We aimed to map the degree that differences in ambient temperature are associated with Raynaud's phenomenon outcomes across the temperature spectrum.
Methods
People with Raynaud's phenomenon secondary to systemic sclerosis in the Scleroderma Patient-centered Intervention Network Cohort completed past-week Raynaud's phenomenon severity assessments (0–10 numerical rating scale) at enrolment and longitudinally at 3-month intervals. Mean daily temperature and feels like temperature, which incorporates wind chill and humidity, for the week before each assessment were extracted for each participant from a weather site close to the participant's recruiting centre via the Iowa Environmental Mesonet. We used linear mixed models with basis splines to flexibly model non-linear changes in Raynaud's phenomenon severity across the temperature spectrum. People with lived experience of systemic sclerosis contributed to the study design and interpretation.
Findings
Between April 15, 2014 and Aug 1, 2023, we included data on 20 233 Raynaud's phenomenon severity assessments from 2243 participants. 1964 (88%) of 2243 participants were women, 279 (12%) were men, and 1813 (82%) were White. Mean age was 54·8 (SD 12·7) years. The maximum predicted Raynaud's phenomenon severity score was 6·8 points (95% CI 5·6–8·1), which occurred at –25°C. Severity scores decreased minimally from –15°C to 5°C (0·05–0·21 points per 5°C difference), then decreased in larger steps between 5°C and 25°C (0·37–0·54 points per 5°C difference). The minimum predicted score was at 25°C (2·6 points [95% CI 2·5–2·7]). Scores increased at temperatures above 25°C to 3·5 points (3·0–4·1) at 35°C and 5·6 points (4·5–6·8) at 40°C. Results were similar for feels like temperature.
Interpretation
Raynaud's phenomenon severity is worst at very cold temperatures but also increases with very warm temperatures, presumably due to air conditioning. Clinical management and Raynaud's phenomenon intervention trial designs should consider temperature patterns.

<div><h3>Background</h3><div>Disease remission or low disease activity are key treatment targets for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Pivotal trials of belimumab were conducted before the introduction of these targets. In this study, we aimed to pool data across trials to assess attainment of remission and low disease activity in a large, racially and culturally diverse patient population with SLE.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>In this integrated post-hoc analysis, we pooled data from five phase 3 trials of belimumab (BLISS-76 [<span><span>NCT00410384</span><svg><path></path></svg></span>], BLISS-52 [<span><span>NCT00424476</span><svg><path></path></svg></span>], BLISS-NEA [<span><span>NCT01345253</span><svg><path></path></svg></span>], BLISS-SC [<span><span>NCT01484496</span><svg><path></path></svg></span>], and EMBRACE [<span><span>NCT01632241</span><svg><path></path></svg></span>]), in patients with active, autoantibody-positive SLE. Patients were randomly assigned to receive belimumab (10 mg/kg per month intravenously or 200 mg per week subcutaneously) or placebo, plus standard therapy. The proportion of patients with Definitions of Remission in SLE (DORIS) remission and lupus low disease activity state (LLDAS) were analysed every 4 weeks from week 4 to week 52 for belimumab versus placebo, using modified Poisson regression adjusted for trial variance, in all patients and in subgroups per baseline SLE Disease Activity Index-2000 score (<10 or ≥10); anti-double stranded DNA positivity (yes or no); low complement 3 (C3) or C4 levels (yes or no); anti-dsDNA positivity or low C3 or C4 levels (yes and no); prednisone-equivalent dose (≤7·5 mg per day or >7·5 mg per day); antimalarial use (yes or no); and by race (Black African ancestry or African American, Asian, Indigenous American, or White).</div></div><div><h3>Findings</h3><div>Data for 3086 patients (1869 in the belimumab group and 1217 in the placebo group) were analysed. 2913 (94%) of 3086 patients were women and 173 (6%) were men, and the median age was 36 years (IQR 28–45). The proportion of patients with DORIS remission was significantly higher in the belimumab group than the placebo group at weeks 28, 48, and 52 (week 52: 148 [8%] of 1869 participants <em>vs</em> 68 [6%] of 1217 participants; risk ratio 1·51 [95% CI 1·15–1·99]; p=0·0055).

In this study, we aimed to pool data across trials to assess attainment of remission and low disease activity in a large, racially and culturally diverse patient population with SLE.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>In this integrated post-hoc analysis, we pooled data from five phase 3 trials of belimumab (BLISS-76 [<span><span>NCT00410384</span><svg><path></path></svg></span>], BLISS-52 [<span><span>NCT00424476</span><svg><path></path></svg></span>], BLISS-NEA [<span><span>NCT01345253</span><svg><path></path></svg></span>], BLISS-SC [<span><span>NCT01484496</span><svg><path></path></svg></span>], and EMBRACE [<span><span>NCT01632241</span><svg><path></path></svg></span>]), in patients with active, autoantibody-positive SLE. Patients were randomly assigned to receive belimumab (10 mg/kg per month intravenously or 200 mg per week subcutaneously) or placebo, plus standard therapy. The proportion of patients with Definitions of Remission in SLE (DORIS) remission and lupus low disease activity state (LLDAS) were analysed every 4 weeks from week 4 to week 52 for belimumab versus placebo, using modified Poisson regression adjusted for trial variance, in all patients and in subgroups per baseline SLE Disease Activity Index-2000 score (<10 or ≥10); anti-double stranded DNA positivity (yes or no); low complement 3 (C3) or C4 levels (yes or no); anti-dsDNA positivity or low C3 or C4 levels (yes and no); prednisone-equivalent dose (≤7·5 mg per day or >7·5 mg per day); antimalarial use (yes or no); and by race (Black African ancestry or African American, Asian, Indigenous American, or White).</div></div><div><h3>Findings</h3><div>Data for 3086 patients (1869 in the belimumab group and 1217 in the placebo group) were analysed. 2913 (94%) of 3086 patients were women and 173 (6%) were men, and the median age was 36 years (IQR 28–45). The proportion of patients with DORIS remission was significantly higher in the belimumab group than the placebo group at weeks 28, 48, and 52 (week 52: 148 [8%] of 1869 participants <em>vs</em> 68 [6%] of 1217 participants; risk ratio 1·51 [95% CI 1·15–1·99]; p=0·0055). The proportion of patients who attained LLDAS was higher in the belimumab group than the placebo group at weeks 8, 24, 32–52 (week 52: 322 [17%] of 1869 participants <em>vs</em> 125 [10%] of 1217 participants; 1·74 [1·44–2·12]; p<0·0001). A higher proportion of patients had DORIS remission at week 52 in the belimumab group than the placebo group among all baseline subgroups denoting high disease activity, with the exception of those on a prednisone-equivalent dose higher than 7·5 mg per day in whom there was no difference for DORIS remission with belimumab versus placebo.
