Join Professor Peter Nash from the Griffith University in Brisbane, and Dr Jürgen Rech, a Senior Physician at the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, as they discuss his recent paper ‘Abatacept Inhibits Inflammation and Onset of Rheumatoid Arthritis in Individuals at High Risk (ARIAA): A Randomised, International, Multicentre, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial.’

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. Dr Sunmboye discusses his recent paper 'Cardiovascular safety of Janus Kinase inhibitor therapy in a multi-ethnic population' with Professor Nash in this exclusive interview.

Join Professor Peter Nash from the Griffith University in Brisbane, and Professor Andrea Rubbert-Roth, a doctor of rheumatology and internal medicine at the Kantonsspital St Gallen in Switzerland, as they discuss her recent paper 'Malignancy in the Upadacitinib Clinical Trials for Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, and Non-radiographic Axial Spondyloarthritis'.

Join Professor Iain McInnes in this month's CSF Podcast, where he discusses the latest information and data in rheumatology.

In this episode, he discusses two papers that compare the efficacy and safety of JAK inhibitors as RA therapies. In our first paper, Shinya Hayashi and his colleagues carried out a retrospective study to compare the efficacy of JAK inhibitors in treating RA. For our second paper, Christina Charles-Schoeman and her colleagues compared the incidence of MACE and VTE in RA and PsA patients treated with upadacitinib, adalimumab and MTX.

Join Philip Mease, Professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine and Director of Rheumatology Research at the Swedish Medical Centre in Seattle, USA, and Laura Coates, an Associate Professor, NIHR clinician scientist and senior clinical research fellow at the Oxford Psoriatic Arthritis Centre, as they discuss two important topics from the world of contemporary PsA treatment.

The first of the publications they will be reviewing sought to compare patient characteristics and efficacy and safety of advanced therapies between male and female patients with PsA participating in RCTs. They then go on to discuss a second publication describing malignancies in patients with a variety of rheumatic conditions treated with upadacitinib or active comparators.

Join Doctor Sofia Ramiro as she is joined by Professors Atul Deodhar and Xenofon Baraliakos to discuss the latest top clinical research in the world of axSpA. In the first paper discussed, the authors evaluated the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib in bDMARD-naïve and TNF-IR AS patients. The second paper presents the results of two parallel clinical trials that investigated the safety and efficacy of bimekizumab.

Join Peter Nash, Professor at the School of Medicine, Griffith University, and Director of the Rheumatology Research Unit on the Sunshine Coast, Australia, Philip Mease, Professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine, and Director of Rheumatology Research at the Swedish Medical Centre in Seattle, USA, as well as Laura Coates, an Associate Professor, NIHR clinician scientist and senior clinical research fellow at the Oxford Psoriatic Arthritis Centre as they discuss two intriguing aspects of the contemporary PsA treatment landscape. The first of the publications relates to the effects of gender on disease characteristics, treatment impact and treatment persistence. The second publication explores the long-term safety profile of guselkumab in the treatment of PsO and PsA.
