Cancer in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Associations and Prognostic Impact From the EUSTAR Registry
Objective Cancer represents a major cause of death in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Established risk factors are limited to specific subsets, particularly early diffuse anti‐RNA polymerase III (POLR3)–positive disease, needing further exploration. Methods We performed a nested case‐control study within the European Scleroderma Trials and Research group ...

Expert Perspectives: Toward Treat‐to‐Target Management in Adult Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies
Treat‐to‐target has transformed the management of several rheumatic diseases through predefined therapeutic goals, structured disease assessment, and timely treatment adjustment. Despite major advances in the understanding and treatment of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), a formal treat‐to‐target framework for adult IIM has not yet been ...

Objective Real‐world initial treatment strategies in SSc‐PAH remain incompletely described. We aimed to characterise these strategies across haemodynamic thresholds and risk strata and evaluate outcome associations. Methods We analysed treatment‐naïve SSc‐PAH patients in EUSTAR (2000–2021) fulfilling the 2022 haemodynamic definition.

Objective We previously showed that Semaphorin4A (Sema4A) is elevated in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and promotes inflammation and fibrosis in vitro. Here, we examined the effect of Sema4A neutralization in vivo and in 3D fibrosis models. Methods Sema4A plasma levels were measured by ELISA in healthy controls (n=31) and patients with SSc (n=

Pentoxifylline dose finding trial in preterm neonates with suspected late onset sepsis (PTX‐trial)
Aim The aim of this study (PTX‐trial) is to determine the optimal dose of pentoxifylline (PTX) in preterm neonates (gestational age < 30 weeks) with (suspected) late onset sepsis (LONS). Methods The PTX‐trial is a prospective multicentre open‐label sequential dose‐optimization study with an adapted continual reassessment method.
