Abstract
BackgroundRheumatologists recommend vaccination in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) patients, but there are few studies on the occurrence of adverse events (AEs), particularly worsening disease related activity and unrelated immune reactions in these groups.ObjectivesTo evaluate the uptake of COVID vaccination in RA and axSpA patients, compare the frequency of AEs, and identify risk factors associated with vaccine AEs in two prospective cohorts comprised of these patients.MethodsThe IMPACT study is a monthly survey of two prospective cohorts of established RA and axSpA patients in northern Alberta, Canada from November 2020-2021 who answered at least one or more Redcap surveys through de-identified email link surveying demographics, disease characteristics, COVID symptoms, treatment of RA and axSpA, health care utilization, vaccination status, vaccine AEs and use of cannabis. Univariate analyses evaluated independent variables associated with the dependent variables of (1) any AE, (2) any severe AE, (3) any arthritis flare, and (4) any severe arthritis flare, followed by multivariate analyses of these four dependant variables using all clinically relevant variables from the univariate analysis.Results773/2167 patients (RA 574, axSpA 197) responded to at least one survey. 32/663 (5%) were single vaccinated, 631 (95%) double vaccinated and 230 (54%) triple vaccinated with 80% receiving Pfizer, 24% Moderna, 28% AstraZeneca and 30% “other”. 456 (69%) reported at least one AE (Figure 1) with 21 (3%) patients seeing a physician for their AE. Increased age was associated with all AEs. RA patients had lower reported AEs versus axSpA patients for all AE definitions except for severe arthritis flares. Generally, males reported worse AEs (Table 1). “Any arthritis flare” was lower in patients reporting cannabis use.Table 1.Summary of Multivariate Level Mixed-Effect Logistic Regression Models Evaluating the IMPACT of RA and axSpA Disease Characteristics on Vaccine AEsVariableAny Adverse EventOR (95 % CI) p valueSevere Adverse Event* OR 95 % CI) p valueAny Arthritis Flare or Joint Ache Adverse Event OR (95 % CI) p valueAny Severe Arthritis Flare or Joint Ache* OR (95 % CI) p valueGenderMale1.47 (0.89 – 2.43)p=0.132.10 (1.30-3.41)p=0.0032.05 (1.20 – 3.50) p=0.013.97 (1.84 – 8.57)p=0.0004FemaleAge1.06 (1.04 – 1.08)p<0.011.05 (1.03 – 1.06)p<0.011.03 (1.01 – 1.04)p=0.0031.03 (1.01 – 1.06)p=0.004Rheumatic Disease TypeRA0.42 (0.23 – 0.76)p=0.050.55 (0.31 – 0.98)p=0.040.52 (0.28 – 0.98)p=0.040.78 (0.34 – 1.78)p=0.55axSpASteroidsYes0.85 (0.40 – 1.83) P=0.680.66 (0.32 – 1.35) p=0.250.84 (0.36 – 1.95) p=0.690.38 (0.15 – 0.97)p=0.04NoNSAIDSYes1.11 (0.81 – 1.52) p=0.511.03 (0.75 – 1.41)p=0.861.05 (0.74 – 1.48)p=0.801.17 (0.73 – 1.89)p=0.52NoCurrent Disease Activity0.95 (0.88 – 1.03) p=0.230.90 (0.83 – 0.97)p=0.190.92 (0.85 – 1.00)p=0.060.82 (0.74 – 0.92)p=0.001HAQ1.08 (0.73 – 1.61) p=0.700.77 (0.52 – 1.14)p=0.010.74 (0.48 – 1.13)p=0.170.65 (0.38 – 1.11)p=0.12Nicotine productsYes1.33 (0.75 – 2.37) p=0.341.42 (0.80 – 2.52)p=0.241.15 (0.60 – 2.01)p=0.760.97 (0.43 – 2.17)p=0.94NoCannabis productsYes0.78 (0.49 – 1.25) p=0.300.87 (0.55 – 1.38)p=0.550.51 (0.31 – 0.83)p=0.070.66 (0.35 – 1.26)p=0.21NoDMARDsYes1.98 (1.28 – 3.06)p=0.0021.52 (1.01 – 2.28)p=0.051.43 (0.91 – 2.23) p=0.121.86 (1.03 – 3.36)p=0.04NoBiologic DMARDYes0.72 (0.42 – 1.25) p=0.240.79 (0.45 – 1.41) p=0.431.20 (0.66 – 2.18 p=0.541.39 (0.63 – 3.08)p=0.42No*Severe = Any of the following: ranked moderate to severe and/or lasting more than 7 days and/or saw physicianConclusionRA and axSpA patients showed high uptake of COVID vaccination with largely minor AEs.

Abstract
BackgroundThroughout the pandemic, there has been ongoing concern that people with autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) will have more severe COVID-19 disease due to immune dysfunction associated with autoimmune diseases and their treatment.ObjectivesWe aimed to compare the severity of COVID-19 in patients with RA versus axSpA and characterize the predictors of COVID-19 severity during the pre-Omicron pandemic phases.MethodsThe IMPACT (IMPact of inflammatory Arthritis on COVID Outcomes STudy) study is a monthly survey of two established northern Alberta, Canada prospective cohorts of RA and axSpA patients from November 2020-2021 who answered Redcap surveys through de-identified email link surveying patient demographics, disease characteristics, COVID-19 symptoms, treatment of RA and axSpA, health care utilization, vaccination status and vaccine adverse events. Descriptive and univariate analyses (dependent variable = severe COVID-19) were performed followed by multivariate analyses of all significant and clinically relevant independent variables from the univariate analysis. Infection severity was defined as any patient with COVID-19 symptoms who visited a doctor, ER or required hospital admission.Results773 of 2167 (36%) patients (RA n=574, axSpA n=197) registered in both cohorts answered at least one baseline survey, 28 (4%) reporting positive COVID-19 tests (24 positive once). Of 442 reporting COVID-19 symptoms during the survey, 11 (3%) were admitted for a mean of 4 days, 2 requiring ICU or blood clot treatment and 1 requiring advanced therapy. 116 (26%) visited a physician for Covid symptoms. Univariate analysis showed that the use of steroids, NSAIDs and increased disease activity were associated with having less severe infection but these associations were not significant in the multivariate analysis (Table 1). There were no significant impacts of RA vs axSpA, age, gender, treatment, disease activity, or smoking.Table 1.Multivariate Level Mixed-Effect Logistic Regression Model: IMPACT of RA and axSpA Disease Characteristics on COVID Infection Severity Defined as Patients with COVID Symptoms Requiring Visit to Doctor, Emergency Room and/or Hospital Admission.VariableCoefficient (S.E)Odds Ratio (95 % Confidence Interval)P-valueGenderMale0.17 (0.34)1.18 (0.61 – 2.31)0.6193FemaleReferenceAge-0.01 (0.01)0.99 (0.97 – 1.01)0.2543Rheumatic Disease TypeRA0.18 (0.40)1.20 (0.58 – 2.48)0.6213SpAReferenceSteroidsYes-0.40 (0.56)0.67 (0.23 – 2.01)0.4757NoReferenceNSAIDSYes-0.20 (0.26)0.82 (0.49 – 1.37)0.4508NoReferenceCurrent Disease Activity-0.04 (0.06)0.96 (0.85 – 1.09)0.5275HAQ-0.03 (0.29)0.97 (0.55 – 1.70)0.9041Nicotine productsYes-0.67 (0.37)0.51 (0.25 – 1.06)0.0714NoReferenceCannabis productsYes-0.45 (0.31)0.64 (0.35 – 1.18)0.1510NoReferenceDMARDsYes0.26 (0.30)1.30 (0.72 – 2.35)0.3860NoReferenceBiologic DMARDYes-0.46 (0.43)0.63 (0.27 – 1.46)0.2813NoReferenceConclusionPossible disease related risk factors for increased COVID-19 severity in RA and axSpA patients preceding the onset of the Omicron variant including use of steroids or DMARDs were not associated with severe infection.

POS0111 MORE METICULOUSLY FOLLOWING TREAT-TO-TARGET IN RA DOES NOT LEAD TO LESS RADIOGRAPHIC PROGRESSION: A LONGITUDINAL ANALYSIS IN BIODAM. Ann Rheum Dis 2022.

Abstract
BackgroundA Treat-to-Target approach (T2T) is broadly considered to lead to better clinical outcomes and recommended in patients with RA. However, very few studies have analyzed the effect of T2T on radiographic progression, and any such studies have provided inconsistent results.ObjectivesTo investigate whether meticulously following a treat-to-target (T2T)-strategy in daily clinical practice leads to lower radiographic progression in RA.MethodsPatients from the multicenter RA-BIODAM cohort with ≥2 consecutive visits with radiographs available were included. In RA-BIODAM patients were enrolled as they were initiating a new csDMARD/bDMARD treatment were followed-up with the intention to benchmark and intensify treatment. The primary outcome of this analysis was the change in Sharp-van der Heijde score (SvdH, 0-448), assessed every 6 months, using average scores from 2 readers (scores with known chronological order). Following a DAS44-T2T remission strategy, which was defined at each 3-month visit, was the main variable of interest. Patients were categorized based on the proportion of visits in which T2T was followed according to our definition: very low (≤40% of the visits, low (>40%, <62.5%), high (≥62.5%, ≤75%) and very high (>75%). Radiographic progression at 2 years was visualized across groups by cumulative probability plots. Per 3-month interval T2T could be followed zero, one or two times (in a total of 2 visits). Associations between the number of visits with T2T in an interval and radiographic progression, both in the same and in the subsequent 6-month interval, were analysed by generalised estimating equations, adjusted for age, gender, disease duration and country.ResultsIn total, 511 patients were included (mean (SD) age: 56 (13) years; 76% female). After 2 years, patients showed on average 2.2 (4.1) units progression (median:1 unit). Mean (SD) 2-year progression was not significantly different across categories of T2T: very low: 2.1 (2.7)-units; low: 2.8 (6.0); high: 2.4 (4.5), very high: 1.6 (2.2) (Figure 1). Meticulously following-up T2T in a 3-month interval neither reduced progression in the same 6-month interval (parameter estimates (for yes vs no): +0.15 units (95%CI: -0.04 to 0.33) for 2 vs 0 visits; and +0.08 units (-0.06;0.22) for 1 vs 0 visits) nor did it reduce progression in the subsequent 6-month interval (Table 1).Table 1.Effect of following DAS44-remission-T2T strategy on 6-month radiographic progression over 2 yearsChange in radiographic damage(regression coefficient (95% CI))N=506T2T during 3 months on radiographic progression in the same 6-month period 2 visits vs 0 followed0.15 (-0.04; 0.33) 1 visit vs 0 followed0.08 (-0.06; 0.22)T2T during 3 months on radiographic progression in the subsequent 6-month period 2 visits vs 0 followed-0.09 (-0.28; 0.10) 1 visit vs 0 followed-0.10 (-0.24; 0.05)Figure 1.Cumulative probability plot with 2-year radiographic progression according to the proportion of 3-monthly visits with T2T followedConclusionIn this daily practice cohort, more meticulously following T2T principles did not result in more reduction of radiographic progression than a somewhat more liberal attitude toward T2T. One possible interpretation of these results is that the intention to apply T2T already suffices and that a more stringent approach does not further improve outcome.AcknowledgementsBIODAM was financially supported by an unrestricted grant from AbbVieDisclosure of InterestsSofia Ramiro Speakers bureau: Eli Lilly, MSD, Novartis, UCB, Consultant of: AbbVie, Eli Lilly, MSD, Novartis, Pfizer, UCB, Sanofi, Grant/research support from: AbbVie, Galapagos, Novartis, Pfizer, UCB, Robert B.M.

Abstract
Background:Early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is hampered by suboptimal accuracy of currently available serological biomarkers. Metabolomics may reveal promising biomarker candidates associated with the biomolecular processes of RA. In this work, we applied a high-performance chemical isotope labeling (CIL) LC-MS technique for in-depth profiling of the amine/phenol-submetabolome in serum samples. To avoid false positives and obtain high-confidence biomarker candidates, we analyzed three independent sets of serum samples collected from RA patients and healthy controls to examine the common effects.Objectives:We aimed to identify a metabolite signature with consistently high accuracy for RA.Methods:Serum samples were taken from 3 RA cohorts, which comprised 50, 49, and 131 RA patients, respectively. Within each cohort, there were sex/age-matched healthy controls: 50 in Cohort 1, 50 in Cohort 2, and 100 in Cohort 3. Among these 446 subjects, 75% were females and the average age was 52.5 years. Amine/phenol-containing metabolites were labeled by12C-dansyl chloride to improve the LC-MS detection. For each cohort, a pooled sample was prepared and labeled by13C-dansyl group to serve as the reference sample for relative quantification. Then the individual samples and the pooled sample were mixed 1:1. Finally, an LC-QTOF-MS platform analyzed the mixtures and output the intensity ratios of12C/13C peak pairs.Results:1,149 amine/phenol-containing metabolites were commonly detected across the three sample sets. Among them, 134 were positively identified by our dansyl-labeling standard library, and 141 were matched to predicted retention times and mass values of dansyl-labeled human metabolites. Visualized by the partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), the overall amine/phenol-submetabolome demonstrated clear and consistent differences between healthy controls and the RA groups, with cross-validation Q2 = 0.765, 0.745, 0.793, respectively. The selection of significant metabolites was conducted according to the fold change and false-discovery-rate-adjusted Welch’s t-test. Cohort 1 demonstrated 85 metabolites having higher concentrations in the RA samples than the controls, and 89 metabolites with lowered concentrations. The numbers of increased/decreased metabolites in Cohort 2 and 3 were 87/26 and 90/53, respectively. Importantly, there were 59 significantly discriminatory metabolites commonly found in the three data sets (49 increased and 9 decreased). We picked the top three with the highest univariate classification performance to form a biomarker panel. We implemented the linear support vector machine (SVM) to build the classifier and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis to measure the performance. The area-under-the-curve (AUC) values (95% confidence interval) were 1.000 (1.000-1.000), 0.992 (0.967-1.000) and 0.902 (0.858-0.945) for the three cohorts, respectively. The results revealed the importance of examining multiple sample sets and even in the worst case (Cohort 3), our biomarker candidates could differentiate RA at 82.5% sensitivity and 82.5% specificity. Particularly, in Cohort 3, there were 30 RA patients negative for anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide and rheumatoid factor, and our metabolite panel demonstrated consistently high performance for differentiating these specific subjects from healthy controls.Conclusion:Metabolites showing significant and consistent changes associated with RA have been identified with high discriminative power.Disclosure of Interests:Wei Han: None declared, Xiaohang Wang: None declared, Liang Li: None declared, Stephanie Wichuk: None declared, Edna Hutchings: None declared, Rana Dadashova: None declared, Joel Paschke: None declared, Walter P Maksymowych Grant/research support from: Received research and/or educational grants from Abbvie, Novartis, Pfizer, UCB, Consultant of: WPM is Chief Medical Officer of CARE Arthritis Limited, has received consultant/participated in advisory boards for Abbvie, Boehringer, Celgene, Eli-Lilly, Galapagos, Gilead, Janssen, Novartis, Pfizer, UCB, Speakers bureau: Received speaker fees from Abbvie, Janssen, Novartis, Pfizer, UCB.
