More rheumatology trends
All specialties →CAR-T for autoimmune disease
CAR-T cell therapy for lupus, systemic sclerosis and myositis.
New lupus treatments
Anifrolumab, belimumab and other targeted drugs in systemic lupus.
Key point: Biologics have been increasingly incorporated into the treatment algorithm at earlier stages of SLE and are first-line treatments for certain manifestations such as lupus nephritis.
Rheumatic immune-related adverse events
Arthritis, myositis and other rheumatic side effects of checkpoint inhibitors.
Lung disease in systemic sclerosis
Interstitial lung disease in systemic sclerosis.
Giant cell arteritis and PMR
Giant cell arteritis, polymyalgia rheumatica and steroid-sparing treatment.
Key point: In PMR, interleukin-6 receptor blockers should be considered with glucocorticoids for relapsing disease and can be considered for new-onset high-risk patients.
Psoriatic arthritis
Psoriatic arthritis and its targeted treatments.

How these numbers are counted
PubMed query, searched in titles and abstracts by publication date:
ultrasound[tiab] AND (arthritis[tiab] OR synovitis[tiab] OR enthes*[tiab] OR "giant cell arteritis"[tiab])Trials: ClinicalTrials.gov studies first submitted in each 12-month window that match the same terms. A query can miss synonyms or catch unrelated papers, so treat counts as approximate.
