Abstract
BackgroundIt is recommended that vaccinations should be performed prior to start methotrexate (MTX) knowing that delaying initiation of background therapy may have an impact on the progression of RA.ObjectivesTo access the impact of delaying initiation of MTX by 1 month on the outcome of RA at 1 year.MethodsThe VACIMRA study is a prospective, randomized, parallel-group, multicenter trial comparing the vaccine protection obtained in patients with rheumatoid arthritis according to the 1-month delay between anti-pneumococcal vaccine PCV13 and methotrexate initiation in one arm, versus immediate introduction of MTX following vaccination in the other arm. We analyzed disease activity based on DAS28-ESR at baseline (M0), 1, 2, 3, 6 and 12 months between the 2 groups. For structural progression, we performed a radiographic analysis of 79 RA patients included in the Montpellier center at baseline, 6 and 12 months. This analysis was performed by the same physician two times, blinded to the patient’s group. Structural damage progression at 6 months and 1 year was assessed according to van-der-Heijde-modified Sharp score (vSHS) on radiographs performed at inclusion, at 6 and 12 months of follow-up. Comparisons of the means of activity scores and radiographic scores were made with the non-parametric Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test.ResultsOf the 276 patients randomized, 261 could be analyzed (131 in the IMMEDIATE group and 130 in the DELAY group). At inclusion, there were no significant differences in demographic, disease activity (DAS28-ESR), biological and radiographic characteristics between the 2 groups (Table 1).Table 1.Baseline characteristicsVariableModalityTotal populationGROUP IMMEDIATEGROUPE DELAYpGender, n(%)N=261n=131n=1300.97Man74 (28.35)37 (28.24)37 (28.46)Woman187 (71.65)94 (71.76)93 (71.54)Age (years)Mean (± SD)55.74 (± 14.68)55.31 (± 15.27)56.16 (± 14.11)0.76MTX true naive (n(% col))No13 (4.98)8 (6.11)5 (3.85)0.40yes248 (95.02)123 (93.89)125 (96.15)Age at diagnosis (years)Mean (± SD)N=205 55.86 (± 15.16)n=98 55.31 (± 16.07)n=107 56.37 (± 14.34)0.80Positive rheumatoid factorn(% col)166 (64.59)84 (65.12)82 (64.06)0.86Positive ACPAn(% col)174 (68.24)89 (68.99)85 (67.46)0.79CRP (mg/L)Mean (± SD)N=260 17.62 (± 24.87)n=131 15.36 (± 17.95)n=129 19.91 (± 30.23)0.65DAS28-ESRMean (± SD)N=249 5.01 (± 1.11)n=125 5.03 (± 1.13)n=12 4.98 (± 1.10)0.54Sharp modified VdH total radiographic scoreMean (± SD)N=93 1.53 (± 3.62)n=47 1.57 (± 3.68)n=46 1.48 (± 3.60)0.88DAS 28-ESR evolution during 1 year of follow-upThere was a significant difference in the means of DAS28-ESR at 1 month between the DELAY and IMMEDIAT groups (3.96 ± 1.46 vs 3.41 ± 1.33; p<0.001, respectively).

Similarly, there was no significant difference in mean radiographic scores at 6 months (2.00 ± 4.41 vs. 1.80 ± 4.03 p=0.81) or at 12 months (2.23 ± 4.86 vs. 2.00 ± 4.07 p=0.93).There was no significant variation between radiographic scores at 6 months compared to baseline in either group (mean difference 0.21 ± 0.52 vs. 0.36 ± 1.01, p=0.90) nor at 12 months compared to baseline (mean difference 0.40 ± 1.06 vs. 0.62 ± 1.58, p=0.85).ConclusionIn patients with rheumatoid arthritis, initiation of methotrexate 1 month after PCV13 vaccination has no significant impact on RA activity and structural outcome at 1 year. Performing vaccinations 1 month before starting MTX can be proposed without significant impact on RA outcome at 1 year.Figure 1.Disclosure of InterestsNone declared

Abstract
BackgroundTherapeutic inertia (TI), or clinical inertia, is the medical behavior of not initiating or intensifying treatment when recommended by clinical recommendations (1). TI was established in diabetes and then studied in hypertension, multiple sclerosis and psoriasis, and is estimated to affect 30 to 70% of physicians managing patients with chronic diseases (2-4). To our knowledge, no data have reported TI in the setting of psoriatic arthritis (PsA).ObjectivesThe OPTI PSA survey was conducted to assess therapeutic inertia around PsA in France.Methods825 French rheumatologists were contacted by e-mail between January and March 2021 and asked to complete an online questionnaire, consisting of 7 clinical vignettes illustrating common situations and reflecting the polymorphic character of PsA: five clinical cases (oligoarthritis, enthesitis, polyarthritis, neoplastic history, cardiovascular risk) requiring treatment optimization in accordance with the latest SFR/EULAR recommendations (5, 6,7) and two “control” clinical cases (DIP arthritis, atypical axial) not requiring any change of treatment. The rheumatologists were also questioned about their routine practice and perception of PsA.Results101 (12%) of the rheumatologists contacted completed the questionnaire. Sixty percent of respondents were men, and 45% of rheumatologists were aged between 46 and 60 years; most practiced exclusively in hospitals (34%), private practice (33%) or in both (34%); the mean duration of clinical practice was 23 years. Almost all of the respondents stated that they were comfortable with the management of PsA (99%) and familiar with French and EULAR recommendations (90%). There was general consensus regarding the difficulties inherent in PsA: therapeutic objectives difficult to achieve (74% of respondents); polymorphism making it difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of a treatment (72%). Almost half the respondents (47%) demonstrated TI on at least one of the 5 vignettes that warranted treatment optimization. The clinical cases that induced the most TI were “oligoarthritis” and “enthesitis” with 20% and 19% of respondents not modifying treatment, respectively. Conversely, the vignettes “polyarthritis in relapse”, “neoplastic history” and “cardiovascular risk” generated fewer TIs with 11%, 8% and 6% of respondents, respectively, choosing not to change the current treatment.ConclusionDespite a good knowledge of PsA and associated clinical recommendations, almost half of the rheumatologists we surveyed demonstrated at least one TI. The rate of TI we observed for PsA is similar to published data for other chronic diseases (1-4). The clinical profiles for which there was the least uncertainty (comorbidities and polyarticular involvement) generated the least inertia; the more complex profiles oligoarthritis and enthesitis generated more inertia. Our study is the first to show the existence of clinical inertia in PsA and further research is warranted to ascertain the reasons behind this inertia.References[1]Phillips LS, et al.

POS1169 THE INFLAMMATION INDUCED BY MONOSODIUM URATE AND CALCIUM PYROPHOSPHATE CRYSTALS DEPENDS ON OSMOLARITY AND AQUAPORIN CHANNELS. Ann Rheum Dis 2022.

Abstract
BackgroundThe inflammation induced by monosodium urate (MSU) and calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystals is driven by interleukin (IL)-1β production. This later relies on NLRP3 inflammasome which can be activated by variation of ion concentration.ObjectivesTo assess the role of osmolarity and water flux in MSU and CPP crystal-induced inflammation.MethodsIn vitro, THP1 monocytes were stimulated by pyrogen-free synthetic MSU and CPP crystals in iso-, hypo- or hyperosmotic media. Cytokine production was quantified by ELISA in cell culture supernatants. Cell size was measured using video microscopy. The role of aquaporin channels was assessed by pharmacological inhibitor (mercury chloride, HgCl2). In vivo, murine air pouch model was used. MSU and CPP crystals were injected in air pouch of mice treated or not with HgCl2 or mannitol. Osmolarity of mouse sera and patient synovial fluids (SF) were measured using freezing point osmometer. The size of cells collected from SF was assessed with imageJ software.ResultsMSU and CPP crystal-induced IL-1β production was substantially reduced by HgCl2 treatment (MSU 4900 vs 880 pg/ml; CPP 10500 vs 980, p<0.0001) or when cells were cultured in hyperosmotic medium. MSU and CPP crystals induced a transient increase in cell size which was 1.6 and 1.5 bigger after 30 and 100 min of stimulation by MSU and CPP crystals, respectively. After 150 min of stimulation, cell size decreased to their baseline size. Cell size increase was abolished by HgCl2 or hyperosmotic medium. In vivo, MSU and CPP crystal-induced inflammation (assessed by cell infiltration, IL-1β and CXCL2 production in air pouch lavage) was drastically reduced by HgCl2 or mannitol treatment. The serum osmolarity was higher in mannitol-treated mice than untreated mice (320 vs 300 mmosm/L). In patients, cells collected from SF during CPP or MSU crystal-induced flares had a bigger size than cells collected from osteoarthitic SF. The osmolarity of MSU or CPP crystal-containing SF was lower than the osmolarity of osteoarthritic SF (270 vs 310 mmosm/L). Finally, the IL-1β concentration in SF was strongly correlated with cell size and SF osmolarity.ConclusionThese results suggest that the variation of osmolarity plays central role in MSU and CPP crystal-induced inflammation. Deciphering how crystals modulate osmolarity will identify new therapeutic targets.Disclosure of InterestsNone declared

Abstract
BackgroundRecent studies have shown a lack of implementation of gout recommendations in primary care. In this context of therapeutic inertia, the French Society of Rheumatology (SFR) published its first recommendations on gout (RECO) in 2020 [1,2], which were deliberately simple and concise.ObjectivesTo determine the profile of patients referred to French gout expert centres, and to examine the results of their management.MethodsThree hundred patients attending a first visit for gout management in three French referral centres were retrospectively included. Visits were performed at baseline (M0) and scheduled for month 6 (M6), month 12 (M12), and month 24 (M24). Data collected included: patient profile; disease activity and treatments; serum urate (SU) level; estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).ResultsPatients were 81% male, mean age 62.2 ± 15.2 years, 42.7% prevalence of eGFR <60ml/min/1.73m2, 28.1% diabetes mellitus, and 25.4% had a history of major cardiovascular event. Management followed French recommendations after the baseline visit in 94.9% of cases. Overall, 50 patients (16.7%) received off-label anakinra for flare treatment or flare prophylaxis. SU levels were below 6.0mg/dL in 59.4% of patients at M6, 67.9% at M12, and 78.6% at M24. At M24, 50% of patients were treated with allopurinol (313 ± 105 mg/d), which exceeded renal restrictions of doses in 61.5% of them, and 48.2% received febuxostat (84 ± 36mg/d). At inclusion, 94% of patients had experienced at least one flare in the previous six months, versus 23.6% at M12, and 13.1% at M24 (of which 8/12 (66.7%) had SU>6.0mg/dL).ConclusionSimple application of gout management guidelines is feasible in clinical practice, and is efficient with a majority of patients achieving SU targets and clinical improvement. A minority of patients in referral centres have ‘difficult-to-treat’ gout requiring specific management.References[1]Latourte A, et al. 2020 Recommendations from the French Society of Rheumatology for the management of gout: Management of acute flares.

Abstract
Background:Classification criteria for calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPPD) will facilitate clinical research on this common crystalline arthritis. ACR/EULAR are jointly sponsoring development of CPPD classification criteria using a multi-phase process.Objectives:To report preliminary results from the first two phases of a four-phase process for developing CPPD classification criteria.Methods:CPPD classification criteria development is overseen by a 12-member Steering Committee. Item generation (Phase I) included a scoping literature review of five literature databases and contributions from a 35-member Combined Expert Committee and two Patient Research Partners. Item reduction and refinement (Phase II) involved a Combined Expert Committee meeting, discussions among Clinical, Imaging, and Laboratory Advisory Groups, and an item rating exercise to assess the influence of individual items toward classification. The Steering Committee reviewed the modal rating score for each item (range -3 [strongly pushes away from CPPD] to +3 [strongly pushes toward CPPD]) to determine items to retain for future phases of criteria development.Results:Item generation yielded 420 items (312 from the literature, 108 from experts/patients). The Advisory Groups eliminated items they agreed were unlikely to distinguish between CPPD and other forms of arthritis, yielding 127 items for the item rating exercise. Fifty-six items, most of which had a modal rating of +/- 2 or 3, were retained for future phases (see Table 1). As numerous imaging items were rated +3, the Steering Committee recommended focusing on imaging of the knee, wrist, and one additional affected joint for calcification suggestive of CPP crystal deposition.Conclusion:The ACR/EULAR CPPD classification criteria working group has adopted both data- and expert-driven approaches, leading to 56 candidate items broadly categorized as clinical, imaging, and laboratory features. Remaining steps for criteria development include domain establishment, item weighting through a multi-criteria decision analysis exercise, threshold score determination, and criteria validation.Table 1.Categories of items retained for future phases of classification criteria developmentAge in decade at symptom onsetAcute inflammatory arthritis (e.g. knee, wrist, 1st MTP joint*)Recurrence and pattern of joint involvement (e.g. 1 self-limited episode, >1 self-limited episode)Physical findings (e.g. palpable subcutaneous tophus*, psoriasis*)Co-morbidities and family history (e.g. Gitelman disease, hemochromatosis, familial CPPD)Osteoarthritis location and features (e.g. 2nd or 3rd MCP joint, wrist)Synovial fluid findings (e.g. CPP crystals present, CPP crystals absent on 1 occasion* or 2 occasions*, monosodium urate crystals present*)Laboratory findings (e.g. hypomagnesemia, hyperparathyroidism, rheumatoid factor*, anti-CCP*)Plain radiograph: calcification in regions of fibro- or hyaline cartilage+Plain radiograph: calcification of the synovial membrane/capsule/tendon+Conventional CT: calcification in regions of fibro- or hyaline cartilage+Conventional CT: calcification of the synovial membrane/capsule/tendon+Ultrasound: CPP crystal deposition in fibro- or hyaline cartilage+Ultrasound: CPP crystal deposition in synovial membrane/capsule/tendons+Dual-energy CT: CPP crystal deposition in fibro- or hyaline cartilage+Dual-energy CT: CPP crystal deposition in synovial membrane/capsule/tendon+*Potential negative predictor +Assessed in the knee, wrist, and/or 1 additional affected jointDisclosure of Interests:Sara Tedeschi Consultant of: NGM Biopharmaceuticals, Tristan Pascart: None declared, Augustin Latourte Consultant of: Novartis, Cattleya Godsave: None declared, Burak Kundaki: None declared, Raymond Naden: None declared, William Taylor: None declared, Nicola Dalbeth Speakers bureau: Abbvie and Janssen, Consultant of: AstraZeneca, Dyve, Selecta, Horizon, Arthrosi, and Cello Health, Tuhina Neogi: None declared, Fernando Perez-Ruiz: None declared, Ann Rosenthal: None declared, Fabio Becce Consultant of: Horizon Therapeutics, Grant/research support from: Siemens Healthineers, Eliseo Pascual: None declared, Mariano Andrés: None declared, Thomas Bardin: None declared, Michael Doherty: None declared, Hang Korng Ea: None declared, Georgios Filippou: None declared, John FitzGerald: None declared, Marwin Gutierrez: None declared, Annamaria Iagnocco: None declared, Tim Jansen Speakers bureau: Abbvie, Amgen, BMS, Grunenthal, Olatec, Sanofi Genzyme, Consultant of: Abbvie, Amgen, BMS, Grunenthal, Olatec, Sanofi Genzyme, Minna Kohler Speakers bureau: Lilly, Consultant of: Novartis, Frederic Lioté: None declared, Mark Matza: None declared, Geraldine McCarthy Consultant of: PK Med, Roberta Ramonda: None declared, Anthony Reginato: None declared, Pascal Richette: None declared, Jasvinder Singh Speakers bureau: Simply Speaking, Consultant of: Crealta/Horizon, Medisys, Fidia, UBM LLC, Trio health, Medscape, WebMD, Adept Field Solutions, Clinical Care options, Clearview healthcare partners, Putnam associates, Focus forward, Navigant consulting, Spherix, Practice Point communications, Francisca Sivera: None declared, Alexander So: None declared, Lisa Stamp: None declared, Janeth Yinh: None declared, Chio Yokose: None declared, Robert Terkeltaub Consultant of: Sobi, Horizon Therapeutics, Astra-Zeneca, Selecta, Grant/research support from: Astra-Zeneca, Hyon Choi: None declared, Abhishek Abhishek Consultant of: NGM Biopharmaceuticals.

Abstract
Background:Sarilumab, an anti-IL-6R antibody, is approved for the treatment of moderate to severe RA and shown efficacy on disease activity and patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Detailed analyses of drug efficacy from the patient point of view is important. SariPRO is a pragmatic interventional study close to the daily practice.Objectives:To assess the effectiveness of sarilumab on several PROs using the RAID (Rheumatoid Arthritis Impact of Disease) score.Methods:The SariPRO study (NCT 03449758) was a French multicenter interventional study assessing the effects of sarilumab 200 mg on PROs in patients with moderately to severely active RA with an inadequate response or intolerance to conventional synthetic or biologic DMARDs. The primary endpoint was change in total RAID score from baseline to week 24 (RAID ranges 0-10 where 10 is maximal impact). Changes from baseline for RAID, DAS28-ESR and CDAI according to baseline disease activity were analyzed as secondary outcomes. Safety was assessed by monitoring adverse events (AE). All statistical analyses were descriptive, 95% CI was given when appropriate.Results:84 patients were included in 31 centers and 62 were evaluable and analyzed for effectiveness. They had similar characteristics to the 84 patients at baseline and were as expected for an RA population initiating a biologic: mean (SD) age: 59.9 (12.4) years, 71.0% female, disease duration 9.7 (10.3) years, rheumatoid factor positivity 82.5%, ACPA positivity 86.4%, and DAS28=4.9 (11). Total RAID score decreased significantly from 5.7 (2.0) at baseline to 3.3 (2.5) at W24; mean change was -2.4 [95% CI: -3.0; -1.8]. Furthermore, this improvement was noted both for highly and less active patients at baseline: for patients with DAS28-ESR < 5.1 (n=31), mean change was -1.56 [-2.28; -0.83] and for patients with DAS28-ESR≥5.1 (n=27), mean change was -1.98 [-2.91; -1.05]. Changes in DAS28-ESR and CDAI were significant (-2.8 [-3.2; -2.4] and -15.2 [-18.5; -11.8], respectively). AEs were consistent with the safety profile of anti-IL-6R antibodies and with results from RCTs (data not shown).Conclusion:In this real world study, treatment with sarilumab during 24 weeks in RA patients led to an improvement in the total RAID score irrespective of baseline levels of disease activity. This is the first time RAID score is used as the primary endpoint in a study.References:[1]Study was sponsored by Sanofi GenzymeDisclosure of Interests:Laure Gossec Grant/research support from: Lilly, Mylan, Pfizer, Sandoz, Consultant of: AbbVie, Amgen, Biogen, Celgene, Janssen, Lilly, Novartis, Pfizer, Sandoz, Sanofi-Aventis, UCB, René-Marc Flipo Consultant of: Johnson and Johnson, MSD France, Novartis, Sanofi, Speakers bureau: Johnson and Johnson, MSD France, Novartis, Sanofi, Thierry Schaeverbeke: None declared, Christine Albert: None declared, Athan Baillet Consultant of: Athan BAILLET has received honorarium fees from Abbvie for his participation as the coordinator of the systematic literature review, marie-Christophe Boissier: None declared, Cyrille Confavreux: None declared, Gregoire CORMIER: None declared, Emmanuelle Dernis Speakers bureau: Lilly, Novartis, Elisabeth Gervais Solau: None declared, Sophie Godot: None declared, Jacques-Eric Gottenberg Grant/research support from: BMS, Pfizer, Consultant of: BMS, Sanofi-Genzyme, UCB, Speakers bureau: Abbvie, Eli Lilly and Co., Roche, Sanofi-Genzyme, UCB, Philippe Goupille Grant/research support from: AbbVie, Amgen, Biogen, BMS, Celgene, Chugai, Lilly, Janssen, Medac, MSD France, Nordic Pharma, Novartis, Pfizer, Sanofi and UCB, Consultant of: AbbVie, Amgen, Biogen, BMS, Celgene, Chugai, Lilly, Janssen, Medac, MSD France, Nordic Pharma, Novartis, Pfizer, Sanofi and UCB, Speakers bureau: AbbVie, Amgen, Biogen, BMS, Celgene, Chugai, Lilly, Janssen, Medac, MSD France, Nordic Pharma, Novartis, Pfizer, Sanofi and UCB, Slim Lassoued: None declared, Thierry Lequerre: None declared, Frederic Lioté Consultant of: CME: Nordic Pharma, Christian Marcelli: None declared, Yves Maugars: None declared, Minh Nguyen: None declared, Aleth Perdriger: None declared, Yves-Marie Pers: None declared, Edouard Pertuiset: None declared, Lucile Poiroux: None declared, Carole Rosenberg: None declared, Christian Roux: None declared, Adeline Ruyssen-Witrand Grant/research support from: Abbvie, Pfizer, Consultant of: Abbvie, BMS, Lilly, Mylan, Novartis, Pfizer, Sandoz, Sanofi-Genzyme, Martin SOUBRIER: None declared, Pascale Vergne-Salle: None declared, Charles Zarnitsky: None declared, Eric Fakra Consultant of: Janssen, Lundbeck, Otsuka, Sanofi, Hubert MAROTTE Grant/research support from: Bristol Myers Sqibb, Lilly France, MSD, Novartis, Nordic Pharma, Pfizer, SanofiAventis, Consultant of: AbbVie, Amgen, Bristol Myers Sqibb, Lilly France, MSD, Novartis, Nordic Pharma, Pfizer, SanofiAventis, Paid instructor for: Sanofi-Aventis, Speakers bureau: Sanofi-Aventis, Florence E Lévy-Weil Employee of: Sanofi Genzyme employee

Psoriatic arthritis screening by the dermatologist: development and first validation of the 'PURE-4 scale'. J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol 2018; 32:1950-1953. [PMID: 29430720 DOI: 10.1111/jdv.14861] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2017] [Accepted: 01/29/2018] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dermatologists are recommended to ask psoriasis patients about musculoskeletal complaints to allow early detection and treatment of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Screening tools have been developed to help identify patients warranting further rheumatologic assessment, but evidence suggests room for improvement in their diagnostic value and ease of use for outpatient practice. OBJECTIVE To develop and internally validate a brief tool for dermatologists to screen patients to refer to a rheumatologist for PsA diagnosis. METHODS After the literature review, 23 items were selected, covering pain at various locations and inflammatory signs of PsA. The validation study was conducted in medically diagnosed psoriasis patients consecutively recruited between 2012 and 2014 (Saint Joseph Hospital, Paris, France). Patients were enrolled by a dermatologist who helped to complete the questionnaire. Diagnosis of PsA was established by a rheumatologist based on CASPAR criteria. Multivariate logistic regression models were performed to build the scale, assessing discrimination through sensitivity, specificity and area under the ROC curve (AUC). Final model was internally validated using bootstrapping techniques. RESULTS One hundred and sixty-eight patients were recruited, of whom nine were excluded for known PsA and 21 did not attend the rheumatologist consultation. Of 137 included patients (median age 43 years, 59.6% men), 21 (15.3%) had a PsA diagnosis. Final regression model retained four independent items, including evocative signs of dactylitis, inflammatory heel pain, bilateral buttock pain and peripheral joint pain with swelling in patients aged <50. A total score (the PURE-4) was computed (0-4 points) that demonstrated excellent discriminative power (AUC = 87.6%; Sensitivity = 85.7% and Specificity = 83.6% at the threshold of ≥1/4 points), with no evidence for over-optimism in bootstrapped internal validation. CONCLUSION These findings demonstrate the good diagnostic properties of a new screening scale using only four easy-to-collect items. If confirmed in other populations, it may prove useful in outpatient dermatology clinics for triage of psoriasis patients requiring further assessment by the rheumatologist.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE One-third of patients with rheumatoid arthritis show inadequate response to tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) inhibitors; little guidance on choosing the next treatment exists. OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of a non-TNF-targeted biologic (non-TNF) vs a second anti-TNF drug for patients with insufficient response to a TNF inhibitor. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A total of 300 patients (conducted between 2009-2012) with rheumatoid arthritis, with persistent disease activity (disease activity score in 28 joints-erythrocyte sedimentation rate [DAS28-ESR] ≥ 3.2 [range, 0-9.3]) and an insufficient response to anti-TNF therapy were included in a 52-week multicenter, pragmatic, open-label randomized clinical trial. The final follow-up date was in August 2013. INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive a non-TNF-targeted biologic agent or an anti-TNF that differed from their previous treatment. The choice of the biologic prescribed within each randomized group was left to the treating clinician. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was the proportion of patients with good or moderate response according to the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) scale at week 24. Secondary outcomes included the EULAR response at weeks 12 and 52; at weeks 12, 24, and 52; DAS28ESR, low disease activity (DAS28 ≤3.2), remission (DAS28 ≤2.6); serious adverse events; and serious infections. RESULTS Of the 300 randomized patients (243 [83.2%] women; mean [SD] age, 57.1 [12.2] years; baseline DAS28-ESR, 5.1 [1.1]), 269 (89.7%) completed the study. At week 24, 101 of 146 patients (69%) in the non-TNF group and 76 (52%) in the second anti-TNF group achieved a good or moderate EULAR response (OR, 2.06; 95% CI, 1.27-3.37; P = .004, with imputation of missing data; absolute difference, 17.2%; 95% CI, 6.2% to 28.2%). The DAS28-ESR was lower in the non-TNF group than in the second anti-TNF group (mean difference adjusted for baseline differences, -0.43; 95% CI, -0.72 to -0.14; P = .004). At weeks 24 and 52, more patients in the non-TNF group vs the second anti-TNF group showed low disease activity (45% vs 28% at week 24; OR, 2.09; 95% CI, 1.27 to 3.43; P = .004 and 41% vs 23% at week 52; OR, 2.26; 95% CI, 1.33 to 3.86; P = .003). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Among patients with rheumatoid arthritis previously treated with anti-TNF drugs but with inadequate primary response, a non-TNF biologic agent was more effective in achieving a good or moderate disease activity response at 24 weeks than was the second anti-TNF medication.

2016 updated EULAR evidence-based recommendations for the management of gout. Ann Rheum Dis 2016; 76:29-42.

Abstract
BackgroundNew drugs and new evidence concerning the use of established treatments have become available since the publication of the first European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) recommendations for the management of gout, in 2006. This situation has prompted a systematic review and update of the 2006 recommendations.MethodsThe EULAR task force consisted of 15 rheumatologists, 1 radiologist, 2 general practitioners, 1 research fellow, 2 patients and 3 experts in epidemiology/methodology from 12 European countries. A systematic review of the literature concerning all aspects of gout treatments was performed. Subsequently, recommendations were formulated by use of a Delphi consensus approach.ResultsThree overarching principles and 11 key recommendations were generated. For the treatment of flare, colchicine, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), oral or intra-articular steroids or a combination are recommended. In patients with frequent flare and contraindications to colchicine, NSAIDs and corticosteroids, an interleukin-1 blocker should be considered. In addition to education and a non-pharmacological management approach, urate-lowering therapy (ULT) should be considered from the first presentation of the disease, and serum uric acid (SUA) levels should be maintained at<6 mg/dL (360 µmol/L) and <5 mg/dL (300 µmol/L) in those with severe gout. Allopurinol is recommended as first-line ULT and its dosage should be adjusted according to renal function. If the SUA target cannot be achieved with allopurinol, then febuxostat, a uricosuric or combining a xanthine oxidase inhibitor with a uricosuric should be considered. For patients with refractory gout, pegloticase is recommended.ConclusionsThese recommendations aim to inform physicians and patients about the non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatments for gout and to provide the best strategies to achieve the predefined urate target to cure the disease.

Abstract
Objectives Benefits of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) use on physician reported outcomes are well documented in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We assess for the first time the association and predictive value of blood HCQ levels towards health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in SLE. Methods Data from the PLUS study (a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre study) were utilized. Blood HCQ levels were quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography along with HRQOL assessments (Medical Outcomes Study-SF-36) at baseline (V1) and month 7 (V2). Results 166 SLE patients’ data were analysed. Mean (SD) age and disease duration were 44.4 (10.7) and 9.3 (6.8) years. Eighty-seven per cent were women. Mean (SD, median, IQR) HCQ concentrations in the blood at V1 were 660 (314, 615, 424) ng/ml and increased to 1020 (632, 906, 781) ng/ml at V2 (mean difference 366 units, 95% confidence interval −472 to −260, p < 0.001). No significant correlations between HCQ concentrations with HRQOL domains at V1 or V2 were noted. There were no differences in HRQOL stratified by HCQ concentrations. HCQ concentrations at V1 or changes in HCQ concentration (V2-V1) were not predictive of HRQOL at V2 or changes in HRQOL (V2-V1). Conclusions No association of HCQ concentrations with current or longitudinal HRQOL were found in SLE.

Replication of association of the apolipoprotein A1-C3-A4 gene cluster with the risk of gout. Rheumatology (Oxford) 2016; 55:1421-30.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Gout is associated with dyslipidaemia. Association of the apolipoprotein A1-C3-A4 gene cluster with gout has previously been reported in a small study. To investigate a possible causal role for this locus in gout, we tested the association of genetic variants from APOA1 (rs670) and APOC3 (rs5128) with gout. METHODS We studied data for 2452 controls and 2690 clinically ascertained gout cases of European and New Zealand Polynesian (Māori and Pacific) ancestry. Data were also used from the publicly available Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study (n = 5367) and the Framingham Heart Study (n = 2984). Multivariate adjusted logistic and linear regression was used to test the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms with gout risk, serum urate, triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). RESULTS In Polynesians, the T-allele of rs670 (APOA1) increased (odds ratio, OR = 1.53, P = 4.9 × 10(-6)) and the G-allele of rs5128 (APOC3) decreased the risk of gout (OR = 0.86, P = 0.026). In Europeans, there was a strong trend to a risk effect of the T-allele for rs670 (OR = 1.11, P = 0.055), with a significant protective effect of the G-allele for rs5128 being observed after adjustment for triglycerides and HDL-C (OR = 0.81, P = 0.039). The effect at rs5128 was specific to males in both Europeans and Polynesians. Association in Polynesians was independent of any effect of rs670 and rs5128 on triglyceride and HDL-C levels. There was no evidence for association of either single-nucleotide polymorphism with serum urate levels (P ⩾ 0.10). CONCLUSION Our data, replicating a previous study, supports the hypothesis that the apolipoprotein A1-C3-A4 gene cluster plays a causal role in gout.

The Toll-Like Receptor 4 (TLR4) Variant rs2149356 and Risk of Gout in European and Polynesian Sample Sets. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0147939.

Abstract
Deposition of crystallized monosodium urate (MSU) in joints as a result of hyperuricemia is a central risk factor for gout. However other factors must exist that control the progression from hyperuricaemia to gout. A previous genetic association study has implicated the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) which activates the NLRP3 inflammasome via the nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway upon stimulation by MSU crystals. The T-allele of single nucleotide polymorphism rs2149356 in TLR4 is a risk factor associated with gout in a Chinese study. Our aim was to replicate this observation in participants of European and New Zealand Polynesian (Māori and Pacific) ancestry. A total of 2250 clinically-ascertained prevalent gout cases and 13925 controls were used. Non-clinically-ascertained incident gout cases and controls from the Health Professional Follow-up (HPFS) and Nurses Health Studies (NHS) were also used. Genotypes were derived from genome-wide genotype data or directly obtained using Taqman. Logistic regression analysis was done including age, sex, diuretic exposure and ancestry as covariates as appropriate. The T-allele increased the risk of gout in the clinically-ascertained European samples (OR = 1.12, P = 0.012) and decreased the risk of gout in Polynesians (OR = 0.80, P = 0.011). There was no evidence for association in the HPFS or NHS sample sets. In conclusion TLR4 SNP rs2143956 associates with gout risk in prevalent clinically-ascertained gout in Europeans, in a direction consistent with previously published results in Han Chinese. However, with an opposite direction of association in Polynesians and no evidence for association in a non-clinically-ascertained incident gout cohort this variant should be analysed in other international gout genetic data sets to determine if there is genuine evidence for association.

Abstract
Introduction The acute gout flare results from a localised self-limiting innate immune response to monosodium urate (MSU) crystals deposited in joints in hyperuricaemic individuals. Activation of the caspase recruitment domain-containing protein 8 (CARD8) NOD-like receptor pyrin-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome by MSU crystals and production of mature interleukin-1β (IL-1β) is central to acute gouty arthritis. However very little is known about genetic control of the innate immune response involved in acute gouty arthritis. Therefore our aim was to test functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variants in the toll-like receptor (TLR)-inflammasome-IL-1β axis for association with gout. Methods 1,494 gout cases of European and 863 gout cases of New Zealand (NZ) Polynesian (Māori and Pacific Island) ancestry were included. Gout was diagnosed by the 1977 ARA gout classification criteria. There were 1,030 Polynesian controls and 10,942 European controls including from the publicly-available Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) and Framingham Heart (FHS) studies. The ten SNPs were either genotyped by Sequenom MassArray or by Affymetrix SNP array or imputed in the ARIC and FHS datasets. Allelic association was done by logistic regression adjusting by age and sex with European and Polynesian data combined by meta-analysis. Sample sets were pooled for multiplicative interaction analysis, which was also adjusted by sample set. Results Eleven SNPs were tested in the TLR2, CD14, IL1B, CARD8, NLRP3, MYD88, P2RX7, DAPK1 and TNXIP genes. Nominally significant (P < 0.05) associations with gout were detected at CARD8 rs2043211 (OR = 1.12, P = 0.007), IL1B rs1143623 (OR = 1.10, P = 0.020) and CD14 rs2569190 (OR = 1.08; P = 0.036). There was significant multiplicative interaction between CARD8 and IL1B (P = 0.005), with the IL1B risk genotype amplifying the risk effect of CARD8. Conclusion There is evidence for association of gout with functional variants in CARD8, IL1B and CD14. The gout-associated allele of IL1B increases expression of IL-1β – the multiplicative interaction with CARD8 would be consistent with a synergy of greater inflammasome activity (resulting from reduced CARD8) combined with higher levels of pre-IL-1β expression leading to increased production of mature IL-1β in gout.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Blood concentrations of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) vary widely among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). A pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship has been found in different situations, and a very low blood concentration of HCQ is a simple marker of nonadherence to treatment. Therefore, interest in blood HCQ concentration measurement has increased, but little is known about factors that influence blood HCQ concentration variability. This study was undertaken to analyze determinants of blood HCQ concentrations. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of patient data, including data from the Plaquenil Lupus Systemic (PLUS) study, to determine the association of epidemiologic, clinical, and biologic factors with blood HCQ concentrations. Data for nonadherent patients (blood HCQ concentration <200 ng/ml) were excluded. RESULTS To examine homogeneous pharmacologic data, we restricted the analyses of the PLUS data to the 509 SLE patients receiving 400 mg/day. We found no association of ethnicity or smoking with blood HCQ concentrations and no pharmacokinetic drug-drug interaction with antacids or with inhibitors or inducers of cytochrome P450 enzymes. On multivariate analysis, high body mass index (P = 0.008), no treatment with corticosteroids (P = 0.04), increased time between the last tablet intake and measurement of blood HCQ concentrations (P = 0.017), low platelet count (P < 0.001), low neutrophil count (P < 0.001), and high estimated creatinine clearance (P < 0.001) were associated with low blood HCQ concentrations. In 22 SLE patients with chronic renal insufficiency (median serum creatinine clearance 52 ml/minute [range 23-58 ml/minute]) who received 400 mg/day HCQ, the median blood HCQ concentration was significantly higher than that in the 509 patients from the PLUS study (1,338 ng/ml [range 504-2,229 ng/ml] versus 917 ng/ml [range 208-3316 ng/ml]) (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION We provide a comprehensive analysis of determinants of blood HCQ concentrations. Because this measurement is increasingly being used, these data might be useful for clinicians.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Wilson's disease is characterized by copper deposition, especially in the liver and central nervous system. We assessed the prevalent fractures and bone mineral density (BMD) and related risk factors in 85 patients. BMD was normal, but patients with severe neurological involvement, low BMI, and/or amenorrhea are at risk for fractures. INTRODUCTION Wilson's disease (WD) is characterized by copper deposition, especially in the liver and central nervous system. Two studies showed a high prevalence of osteoporosis in WD patients. We wanted to assess the prevalent fractures and bone mineral density (BMD) and to identify risk factors for bone loss and fractures in a large group of WD patients. METHODS In this prospective cross-sectional survey at National center of reference for WD, we included 85 patients, 47 women, and 38 men, with a mean age of 35 ± 10 years, and mean time from diagnosis to study of 21 ± 9 years; 57 (67%) patients had neurological signs. Peripheral fractures, prevalent radiological vertebral fractures (VFx), and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry BMD measurements at the femoral neck (FN) and lumbar spine (LS) were studied. RESULTS Mean LS and FN Z-score was normal (-0.37 ± 1.20 at LS and -0.06 ± 1.20 at FN). BMI <19 kg/m(2) and amenorrhea were associated with low BMD. Prevalent peripheral fractures were noted in 43 (51%) and VF in 7 (8%) patients. Severity of neurological involvement and male sex was associated with peripheral fractures, whereas older age, severe neurological involvement, and low BMD and Z-score values were associated with VF. CONCLUSION Our data showing normal BMD overall do not support routine bone status evaluation in adults with WD. However, patients with severe neurological involvement, low BMI, and/or amenorrhea are at risk factors for fractures and may require specific monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Palmoplantar pustular psoriasis is a clinical psoriasis variant characterised by a high impact on quality of life and poor response to biologics approved for plaque type psoriasis.The recombinant interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist anakinra has been recently used for the treatment of isolated refractory cases of generalised pustular psoriasis with contrasted results. OBJECTIVES To report the clinical response in two patients treated with anakinra as salvage therapy in two patients with severe palmoplantar pustular psoriasis refractory to currently available antipsoriatic systemic therapies. METHODS Anakinra was given subcutaneously at the daily dose of 100 mg, and clinical response was evaluated using the palmoplantar psoriasis area and severity index (PPPASI). RESULTS Only partial and transient responses were observed in both patients, who had to stop anakinra due to lack of efficacy and to side effects. CONCLUSION Anakinra appears to provide only partial clinical improvement in refractory palmoplantar pustular psoriasis. Prospective clinical studies on larger populations are warranted to investigate more accurately both efficacy and safety of IL-1-inhibiting strategies in pustular psoriasis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In France, the prevalence of gout is currently unknown. We aimed to design a questionnaire to detect gout that would be suitable for use in a telephone survey by non-physicians and assessed its performance. METHODS We designed a 62-item questionnaire covering comorbidities, clinical features and treatment of gout. In a case-control study, we enrolled patients with a history of arthritis who had undergone arthrocentesis for synovial fluid analysis and crystal detection. Cases were patients with crystal-proven gout and controls were patients who had arthritis and effusion with no monosodium urate crystals in synovial fluid. The questionnaire was administered by phone to cases and controls by non-physicians who were unaware of the patient diagnosis. Logistic regression analysis and classification and regression trees were used to select items discriminating cases and controls. RESULTS We interviewed 246 patients (102 cases and 142 controls). Two logistic regression models (sensitivity 88.0% and 87.5%; specificity 93.0% and 89.8%, respectively) and one classification and regression tree model (sensitivity 81.4%, specificity 93.7%) revealed 11 informative items that allowed for classifying 90.0%, 88.8% and 88.5% of patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS We developed a questionnaire to detect gout containing 11 items that is fast and suitable for use in a telephone survey by non-physicians. The questionnaire demonstrated good properties for discriminating patients with and without gout. It will be administered in a large sample of the general population to estimate the prevalence of gout in France.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify a comprehensive list of features that might discriminate between gout and other rheumatic musculoskeletal conditions, to be used subsequently for a case-control study to develop and test new classification criteria for gout. METHODS Two Delphi exercises were conducted using Web-based questionnaires: one with physicians from several countries who had an interest in gout and one with patients from New Zealand who had gout. Physicians rated a list of potentially discriminating features that were identified by literature review and expert opinion, and patients rated a list of features that they generated themselves. Agreement was defined by the RAND/UCLA disagreement index. RESULTS Forty-four experienced physicians and 9 patients responded to all iterations. For physicians, 71 items were identified by literature review and 15 more were suggested by physicians. The physician survey showed agreement for 26 discriminatory features and 15 as not discriminatory. The patients identified 46 features of gout, for which there was agreement on 25 items as being discriminatory and 7 items as not discriminatory. CONCLUSION Patients and physicians agreed upon several key features of gout. Physicians emphasized objective findings, imaging, and patterns of symptoms, whereas patients emphasized severity, functional results, and idiographic perception of symptoms.

Intracellular calcium oscillations in articular chondrocytes induced by basic calcium phosphate crystals lead to cartilage degradation. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2012; 20:1399-408.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Basic calcium phosphate (BCP) crystals, including octacalcium phosphate (OCP), carbonated-apatite (CA) and hydroxyapatite (HA) crystals are associated with destructive forms of osteoarthritis. Mechanisms of BCP-induced cartilage breakdown remain incompletely understood. We assessed the ability of BCP to induce changes in intracellular calcium (iCa(2+)) content and oscillations and the role of iCa(2+) in BCP-induced cartilage degradation. METHODS Bovine articular chondrocytes (BACs) and bovine cartilage explants (BCEs) were stimulated with BCP or monosodium urate (MSU) crystals. iCa(2+) levels were determined by spectrofluorimetry and oscillations by confocal microscopy. mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3), a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin-like motifs 4 (ADAMTS-4) and ADAMTS-5 was assessed by quantitative real-time PCR. Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) release was measured in the supernatants of BCE cultures. RESULTS All three BCP crystals significantly increased iCa(2+) content. OCP also induced iCa(2+) oscillations. Rate of BACs displaying iCa(2+) oscillations increased over time, with a peak after 20 min of stimulation. OCP-induced iCa(2+) oscillations involved both extracellular Ca(2+) (eCa(2+)) influx and iCa(2+) stores. Indeed, OCP-induced iCa(2+) oscillations decreased rapidly in Ca(2+)-free medium. Both voltage- and non-voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels were involved in eCa(2+) influx. BCP crystal-induced variation in iCa(2+) content was associated with BCP crystal-induced cartilage matrix degradation. However, iCa²(+) was not associated with OCP crystal-induced mRNA expression of MMP-3, ADAMTS-4 or ADAMTS-5. CONCLUSION BCP crystals can induce variation in iCa(2+) content and oscillations in articular chondrocytes. Furthermore, BCP crystal-induced changes in iCa(2+) content play a pivotal role in BCP catabolic effects on articular cartilage.

Abstract
Gout is a very common joint disease which is due to chronic hyperuricemia and its related articular involvements. Yet it can be cured when appropriately managed. Comprehensive management of gout involves correct identification and addressing all causes of hyperuricemia, treating and preventing attacks of gouty inflammation (using colchicine NSAIDs, and/or steroids), and lowering serum urate (SUA) to an appropriate target level indefinitely. The ideal SUA target is, at a minimum, less than 6 mg/dL (60 mg/L or 360 μmol/L), or even less than 5 mg/dL in patients with tophi. The SUA target should remain at less than 6 mg/dL for long in all gout patients, especially until tophi have resolved. Patient education and adherence to therapy are key point to the optimal management of gout, aspects which are often neglected. Adherence can be monitored in part by continuing, regular assessment of the SUA level. More difficult cases of gout often need a combination of urate lowering therapy (ULT) for both refractory hyperuricemia and chronic tophaceous arthritis. Chronic tophaceous gouty arthropathy which do not respond adequately to optimized oral ULT might benefit from the use of pegloticase, when this is available in, for example, Italy and other European countries. By contrast, in calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystal deposition disease (CPPD), as evidenced by pseudo gout attacks or chronic polyarthritis, similar anti-inflammatory strategies have been recommended, but there have as yet been no controlled trials. Of note, there is no treatment for the underlying metabolic disorders able to control the CPPD. Management of crystal-induced arthropathies (CIA) depends not only on clinical expression, namely acute attacks or chronic arthropathy, but also on the underlying metabolic disorder. We will mainly focus on gout as an archetype of CIA.
