Safety and efficacy of subcutaneous ianalumab (VAY736) in patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2b dose-finding trial

Simon J. Bowman et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated the safety and efficacy of ianalumab in patients with moderate to severe primary Sjogren's syndrome. The drug showed dose-related reduction in disease activity and was well tolerated.

A Personalized Rituximab Retreatment Approach Based on Clinical and B-Cell Biomarkers in ANCA-Associated Vasculitis

Jack Arnold et al.

Summary: The study found that the time to relapse after rituximab treatment for ANCA-associated vasculitis varies, and a personalized retreatment strategy can reduce unnecessary retreatments. Factors associated with longer relapse time include concomitant immunosuppressant use, achieving complete response, and naive B-cell repopulation at 6 months.

A Personalized Rituximab Retreatment Approach Based on Clinical and B-Cell Biomarkers in ANCA-Associated Vasculitis

Jack Arnold et al.

Summary: Based on this study, all AAV patients should be prescribed oral immunosuppressants along with rituximab treatment. Patients with incomplete response or inadequate naive B-cell repopulation should be retreated at 6 months. Patients with complete response and adequate naive repopulation do not require fixed retreatment.

COVID-19 vaccination and antirheumatic therapy

Jack Arnold et al.

Summary: This article discusses the impact of immunosuppressive therapy on COVID-19 vaccination, proposing a suggestion to temporarily suspend treatment to improve vaccine effectiveness, and urging decisions on withholding immunosuppressive therapy to be made in advance without sufficient data support.

SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in rituximab-treated patients: B cells promote humoral immune responses in the presence of T-cell-mediated immunity

Daniel Mrak et al.

Summary: The study found that RTX-treated patients can develop SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies after vaccination, but only if peripheral B cells at least partially repopulate. Additionally, more than half of the vaccinated patients developed SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells, which may provide protective effects regardless of humoral immune responses.

NKp30 Receptor Upregulation in Salivary Glands of Sjogren's Syndrome Characterizes Ectopic Lymphoid Structures and Is Restricted by Rituximab Treatment

Elena Pontarini et al.

Summary: The levels of NCR3/NKp30 were significantly increased in salivary glands and circulating NK cells of pSS patients, correlating with higher levels of IFN-gamma and other immune cells, especially in salivary glands with organized ectopic lymphoid structures.
