Distinct Effects of Complement C4A and C4B Copy Numbers in Systemic Sclerosis Serological and Clinical Subtypes

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Complement component 4 (C4), encoded by C4A and C4B within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on chromosome 6, regulates the immune response and clears immune complexes. The variable copy number (CN) of C4 genes and retroviral human endogenous retrovirus K (HERV‐K) element influence its function.

Drug‐Induced Raynaud's Phenomenon and Underlying Mechanism: A Disproportionality Analysis From the World Health Organization Pharmacovigilance Database

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objectives The aim of this study is to generate hypotheses about unknown drugs associated with the onset or worsening of Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) and to explore their potential pathophysiologic mechanisms through a mixed disproportionality/clustering analysis from the World Health Organization (WHO) pharmacovigilance database.

Serious Infections in Offspring Exposed to Tumor Necrosis Factor Inhibitors During Pregnancy: Comparison of Timing During Pregnancy and Placental Transfer Ability

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective We evaluated serious infection risk in offspring exposed to tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) in utero, separated by TNFi timing and placental transfer ability. Methods Using MarketScan (2011–2021), we identified offspring born to mothers with chronic inflammatory diseases.

Defining Optimally Safe and Effective Blood Levels of Hydroxychloroquine in Lupus: An Important Step Toward Precision Drug Monitoring

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Using a hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) dose of 5 mg/kg/day in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is associated with a higher risk of flares; HCQ blood level monitoring could be a better way to adjust the HCQ dose. We studied the upper threshold for a reference range of HCQ levels to inform routine monitoring.

Risk Factors for Relapse in Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody–Associated Vasculitis Among Patients With Relapse After Induction of Remission With Rituximab

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The objective of the study was to determine risk factors for relapse of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)–associated vasculitis (AAV) after reinduction of remission with rituximab and discontinuation of maintenance therapy. Methods This is a post hoc analysis of the RITAZAREM clinical trial.

Interstitial Lung Disease in Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody–Associated Vasculitis: A European Multicenter Study

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Interstitial lung disease (ILD) can occur in association with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)–associated vasculitis (AAV‐ILD) or as an isolated entity with positive ANCA (ANCA‐ILD). However, data on the epidemiology and outcomes of these conditions remain limited.
