The IMID Forum

Webinar Highlights Podcast: Join Professor Iain McInnes and Associate Professor Laura Coates on the Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Disease Forum in their discussion on the recent webinar “Evolving Therapeutic Strategies for Psoriatic Diseases: Not all IL-23s are Created Similar”. Watch them discuss key highlights from the webinar including the burden of PsA and PsO, the pathophysiology of IL-23 inhibitors compared with TNF and IL-17 inhibitor therapies, and the relationship between IL-23 inhibitor MOA variation and real-world patient data.

Join Professor Peter Nash from the Griffith University in Brisbane, and Dr Jake Weddell, an academic rheumatology trainee at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, as they discuss his recent paper ‘Real-world experience of IL-17Ai drug survival in a large cohort of axial spondyloarthritis and psoriatic arthritis.’

Join Professor Peter Nash from the Griffith University in Brisbane, and Professor Frank Verhoeven, an Assistant Professor in Rheumatology at the CHU Besancon in France, as they discuss his recent paper ‘Effects of disease‑modifying anti‑rheumatic drugs on sacroiliac MRI score in axial spondyloarthritis: A systematic review and meta‑analysis.’

Join Professor Iain McInnes for the latest episode on The Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Disease Forum, where he discusses the latest information and data in RA. In this episode, he discusses two papers related to the long-term safety of JAK inhibitors compared to TNF inhibitors. In our first paper, Christina Charles-Schoeman and colleagues assessed the risk of venous thromboembolism in patients with RA initiating tofacitinib or TNFi. Our second paper is from Roy Fleischmann and colleagues compare the long-term efficacy and safety data of upadacitinib switched from adalimumab and in adalimumab switched from upadacitinib.

Join Professor Peter Nash from the Griffith University in Brisbane, and Maria Antonietta D’Agostino, the Head of the Rheumatology Department at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Rome, as they discuss her recent paper 'Effects of Secukinumab on Synovitis and Enthesitis in Patients with Psoriatic Arthritis: 52-week Clinical and Ultrasound Results from the Randomised, Double-blind ULTIMATE Trial with Open Label Extension'.

Join Professor Peter Nash from the Griffith University in Brisbane, and Professor Dennis McGonagle, a Clinical Professor at the University of Leeds School of Medicine, as they discuss his recent paper ‘Association of the Clinical Components in the Distal Interphalangeal Joint Synovio-entheseal Complex and Subsequent Response to Ixekizumab or Adalimumab in Psoriatic Arthritis.’

Dr Jürgen Rech discusses inhibiting inflammation to prevent rheumatoid arthritis, early intervention strategies, efficacy of abatacept in delaying onset of RA, role of ACTPA antibodies, smoking as a risk factor, biomarkers, and treatment benefits lasting up to 24 months.

Join Professor Peter Nash from the Griffith University in Brisbane, and Dr Mahta Mortezavi, a Clinical Director for Drug Discovery and Early Development as part of the Anti-infectives Research Unit at Pfizer, as they discuss her recent paper ‘Rheumatoid arthritis disease activity and adverse events in patients receiving tofacitinib or tumour necrosis factor inhibitors: a post hoc analysis of ORAL Surveillance.’

Join Professor Peter Nash from the Griffith University in Brisbane, as well as Professors Andrew Cope, Professor of Rheumatology and Head of the Centre for Rheumatic Diseases at Kings College London, Professor Paul Emery, Clinical Professor and Director of the Leeds Biomedical Research Centre, and Professor John Isaacs, Professor of clinical immunology and Director of Newcastle Biomedicine Versus Arthritis Experimental Arthritis Treatment Centre. Together they discuss the recent paper ‘Abatacept in individuals at high risk of rheumatoid arthritis (APIPPRA): a randomised, double-blind, multicentre, parallel, placebo-controlled, phase 2b clinical trial’, published in The Lancet on 13th February 2024.

Join Professor Peter Nash from the Griffith University in Brisbane, and Dr Kehinde Sunmboye, a consultant rheumatologist at the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, in this episode of the Author Interview series.
