People with inflammatory arthritis (InfA) frequently experience work instability, absenteeism, and reduced productivity, culminating in early job loss. This study evaluated the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of WORKWELL job retention vocational rehabilitation (JRVR) delivered by occupational therapists, compared with a control group receiving written self-help advice.
2. Long-term durability of a time-limited methotrexate intervention in patients with anti-citrullinated protein antibody-positive and anti-citrullinated protein antibody-negative arthralgia at increased risk for rheumatoid arthritis (TREAT EARLIER): 5-year data from a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial.

The TREAT EARLIER trial showed that a time-limited intervention with 12 months of methotrexate in individuals with arthralgia at risk of rheumatoid arthritis improved inflammatory burden but did not prevent rheumatoid arthritis after 2 years. Long-term follow-up is needed to assess the durability of the effects. In addition, heterogeneity in pathophysiological subtype (with or without anti-citrullinated protein antibodies [ACPA]) and disease risk was not considered in the 2-year analysis. Therefore, we investigated the long-term effect of methotrexate in reducing disease burden and progression to rheumatoid arthritis in ACPA-positive and ACPA-negative individuals at increased risk of rheumatoid arthritis.

The VACIMRA trial demonstrated that delaying MTX initiation in RA by 1 month after the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) improves humoral responses at 1 and 12 months. Whether this delay impacts disease activity and radiographic progression over 1 year remains uncertain.

Branebrutinib, an oral, highly selective, and irreversible Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is a potential candidate for rheumatoid arthritis treatment as Bruton's tyrosine kinase has a role in B-cell activation, autoantibody production, and proinflammatory cytokine release, all of which are implicated in rheumatoid arthritis disease activity and progression. This study assessed the efficacy and safety of branebrutinib in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and an inadequate response to methotrexate.

A treat-to-target approach is recommended for gout management, which involves titrating urate-lowering therapy to reach a serum urate target of less than 0·36 mmol/L, but evidence from pragmatic, head-to-head trials comparing a treat-to-target strategy with a symptom-driven approach is scarce. We aimed to address this gap by comparing these two approaches in patients with gout.

Juvenile psoriatic arthritis and enthesitis-related arthritis are two categories of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Despite available treatments including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, glucocorticoids, conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), and biological DMARDs, a substantial proportion of people do not adequately respond to treatment or do not have long-lasting clinical remission. The aim of this trial was to show the efficacy and safety of ixekizumab in children with active enthesitis-related arthritis and juvenile psoriatic arthritis.

Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is routinely used in early diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc) but not in limited cutaneous (lc)SSc. This may miss an opportunity to slow disease progression. MINIMISE-Pilot tested the feasibility of an open-label event-driven randomised trial of MMF vs no immunosuppression in lcSSc.
