Dear #EULARJC participants! Thank you for your curiosity, interest, and this very productive
#EULARJC. Due to restricted time, we will have to finish the conversation.
@EULAR_JC@jeffsparks Pleasure being w/ you all. 1) RTX and JAKi pts at high risk & should continue shielding. Many are studying how to improve vaccine response & passive immunity.
2) We need add'l studies to confirm JAKi findings so interpret cautiously
3) ABA & IL6i have sim outcomes to TNFi
@zach_wallace_md@jeffsparks Could the better outcomes in patients treated with anti-TNFs be driven by a possible efficacy of anti-TNFs in cytokine storm syndrome due to #COVID19, as presumed previously by some papers?
@EULAR_JC@zach_wallace_md Certainly this is a reason to encourage RA pts (and gen population) to get vaccinated!
The pronounced risk for RTX patients and other data showing poor response to vaccine mean pts need to be counseled about shielding strategies. They need monoclonal Abs if infected #EULARJC
Another wonderful question from @rhaumpatient to @zach_wallace_md@jeffsparks. What JAK inhibitors were included in the analysis? Are they all the same? #EULARJC
