36 SUNDAY November, 0 :5 AM 75. The Role of Interleukin- in Spondyloarthropathy Jonathan Sherlock, Barbara Joyce-Shaikh, Scott Turner, Cheng- Chi Chao, Manjiri Sathe, Jeff Grein, Dan Gorman, Eddie P. Bowman, Terrill McClanahan, Jennifer Yearley, Gerard Eberl, Christopher D. Buckley 4, Robert Kastelein, Robert Pierce, Drake LaFace and Daniel Cua 5, Merck, Palo Alto, CA, Merck, Palo Alto, Institut Pasteur, Paris, France, 4 School of Immunity and Infection, MRC Center for Immune Regulation, Birmingham, United Kingdom, 5 Merck Research Laboratory, Palo Alto, CA Background/Purpose: Spondyloarthropathy is characterized by inflammation and bony pathology at the entheseal insertion of tendons to bone. Recent investigations have converged upon interleukin(il)-, demonstrating firstly that genetic variants in its receptor are associated with disease and secondly that HLA-B7, which is present in 90% of patients with ankylosing spondylitis, has a tendency to misfold and form cell surface homodimers resulting, respectively, in production of IL- and stimulation of IL-R+ cells. However why such dysregulation of IL- should result in inflammation primarily at the enthesis has remained deeply enigmatic. We have hypothesized that tissue resident cells fundamentally determine disease localization (Cua and Sherlock, Nature Medicine 7(9):055-6) and herein extend our previous observations (Sherlock et al. in press) to demonstrate the presence of IL-R+ cells in the uvea and to further characterize these cells and their effects. Methods: We used GFP reporter mice to investigate the tissue distribution of IL-R+ cells in the main tissues inflamed in spondyloarthropathy: the enthesis, aortic valve and uvea. Flow cytometric analysis and multiphoton microscopy was employed to characterize the location of such cells and the reactivity of this tissue to IL- was determined in vitro and in vivo. Results: Entheses, the aortic root and the uvea all contain a novel tissue resident IL-R+ T lymphocyte, negative for both CD4 and CD8, which allows the tissue to respond to IL-. Multiphoton microscopy confirms an extremely precise entheseal localization of the IL-R+ cell type. These cells are RAG dependent, but express the PLZF transcription factor which confers an innate like responsiveness on T cells, allowing them to immediately respond to cytokines. Entheses can respond within hours to IL- in vitro in the absence of further cellular recruitment. Moreover, IL- expression in mice is sufficient by itself to induce hallmark features of spondyloarthropathy, with severe inflammation developing very specifically at the enthesis and aortic root. Entheseal bone erosion, new bone formation and periostitis are likewise present. Conclusion: The highly restricted anatomical distribution of IL-R+ cells explains both the exquisitely precise tissue localization of disease in spondyloarthropathy, as well as the known genetic associations with IL-, and gives a very clear mechanism whereby HLA-B7 and its tendency to cause IL- elaboration may predispose to pathology. These IL-R+ tissue resident cells thus form the point of integration between the specific immunological dysregulations known to be associated with disease, and the very precise anatomical sites affected. The importance of these tissue resident cells is emphasized by the ability of IL- to drive enthesitis despite depletion of the conventional IL- responsive Th7 cells. Neutralization of IL- therefore represents an excellent therapeutic strategy in spondyloarthropathy since it will inhibit a potent molecule associated with known genetic factors, and do so directly at the site of pathology.

Dynamic in vivo Imaging of Th7-Mediated Osteoclastic Bone Resorption in Live Bones by Using Intravital Multiphoton Microscopy Junichi Kikuta and Masaru Ishii, Immunology Frontier Research Center, Osaka University, Osaka, Japan Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by joint synovial inflammation and progressive cartilage/bone destruction. Although various kinds of cell types, such as T/B lymphocytes, macrophages and synovial fibroblasts, are involved in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammation in RA, bone destruction is considered to be mainly mediated by enhanced activation of osteoclasts. Recently CD4+ T helper 7 (Th7) cells have been reported to express RANKL on the cell surface, which were suggested to be important for osteoclastic bone destruction in arthritic joints. However, the RANKL expressed on the surface of Th7 possesses little ability for inducing differentiation, and the practical function of RANKL and Th7 on bone erosion remained elusive. This study aimed to investigate how the bone-resorptive functions of osteoclasts are regulated in situ and how Th7 cells control the osteoclastic bone resorption in vivo. Methods: To examine in vivo behaviors of mature osteoclasts and Th7 cells, we utilized advanced imaging system for visualizing live bone tissues with intravital multiphoton microscopy that we have originally established. To identify mature osteoclasts in fluorescent microscopy, we utilized the mice in which GFP is expressed under the promoter of a vacuolar type H + -ATPase a subunit, those are preferentially and abundantly expressed in mature osteoclasts (a-gfp mice). Polyclonally differentiated Th7 cells were labeled with fluorescent dye and then adoptively transferred into a-gfp mice. We observed calvaria bone tissues of a-gfp mice by using intravital multiphoton microscopy. Results: We succeeded in visualizing live mature osteoclasts on the bone surface in situ. By using this imaging system, we could identify different populations of live mature osteoclasts in terms of their motility and function, i.e., static bone resorptive (R) and moving non resorptive (N). Treatment with recombinant RANKL or bisphosphonate changed the composition of these populations as well as total number of mature osteoclasts. We also found that rapid RANKL injection converted the moving (N) osteoclasts to static (R) ones without any changes in total number of osteoclasts, suggesting a novel action of RANKL in controlling mature osteoclast function. Furthermore, we could demonstrate that Th7 cells had potency for inducing rapid N to 4 0 Program Book

37 R conversion of mature osteoclasts by RANKL expressed on their cell surface in situ. Conclusion: By visualizing in vivo behaviors of mature osteoclasts, we for the first time identified different functional subsets of live osteoclasts on the bone surface, from static bone resorptive to moving non resorptive. Furthermore, RANKL turned out not only to promote the differentiation of osteoclasts but also to regulate the bone-resorptive function of fully differentiated mature osteoclasts. RANKL-bearing Th7 cells were shown to control bone resorption of mature osteoclasts, demonstrating novel actions of Th7 that may be a novel therapeutic target in RA. Disclosure: J. Kikuta, None; M.

The increase observed for the bone resorption marker s-ctx with ODN treatment was unexpected. AEs were comparable between the treatment arms. The overall safety profile appeared similar between ODN 50mg OW and placebo. Conclusion: In this study osteoporotic women treated with ODN following ALN treatment show incremental gains in BMD. Biomarker results suggest that ODN decreases bone resorption while preserving bone formation. ODN effects on BMD :45 AM 77.

This study evaluated the effects of ODN 50mg once weekly (OW) on BMD and biochemical markers of bone turnover in patients previously treated with alendronate (ALN) (dosed daily or weekly) for years, as well as the safety and tolerability of ODN. Methods: This was a randomized, double-blind, placebocontrolled, 4-month study. The primary endpoint was % change in femoral neck (FN) BMD from baseline at Month 4. 4 postmenopausal women 60 years of age with low BMD T-score (T-score range.5 but >-.5) at the total hip, FN or trochanter but no history of hip fracture and who had been treated with ALN for years were randomized in a : ratio to receive ODN 50mg OW or placebo OW for 4 months. All patients received vitamin D 5600 IU/wk and calcium supplementation (to 00 mg/day). BMD was assessed by DXA at baseline, 6, and 4 months. Biochemical markers of bone resorption (s-ctx, u-ntx) and bone formation (s-bsap and s-pnp) were measured at baseline and, 6,, 8 and 4 months. This study was not designed and did not have the power to evaluate the effect of ODN on fractures. Results: In the placebo group, FN and trochanter BMD were not significantly different from baseline levels for the first months, but declined significantly from baseline by Month 4 (-0.94% and -.5%, respectively). BMD at the total hip declined in a linear manner from baseline to month 4 (-.87% at 4 months). BMD at the lumbar spine (LS) was not significantly different from baseline for the entire 4 months of the study. BMD changes from baseline at 4 months in the ODN group were significant vs placebo at all hip sites and the LS. The changes in BMD for the FN, trochanter, total hip and LS from baseline were.7%,.8%, 0.8% and.8%, respectively.

Results of the International Scleroderma Renal Crisis Survey Marie Hudson, Murray Baron, Solene Tatibouet, De Furst, Dinesh Khanna4 and International Scleroderma Renal Crisis Study Investigaots 5, McGill University, Montreal, QC, Jewish General Hospital, Montreal, QC, University of California at Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, 4 University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, 5 Montreal Background/Purpose: Scleroderma renal crisis (SRC) is an infrequent but life-threatening complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc). The outcome of SRC has improved considerably since the advent of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. The incidence of SRC has also appeared to have decreased, perhaps in part due to the more liberal use of ACE inhibitors in SSc. However, recent retrospective data suggests that patients with SRC exposed to ACE inhibitors prior to the onset of SRC may have worse outcomes. We undertook a prospective study to verify whether SSc patients with incident SRC on ACE inhibitors at the time of onset of SRC had worse outcomes compared to those who were not on these drugs at that time. SUNDAY November, 0 0 Program Book 5

38 SUNDAY November, 0 Methods: We designed a prospective, observational cohort study of incident SRC subjects identified through a webbased survey. Every second week, an was sent to 589 participating physicians from around the world to identify incident cases of SRC. Data on patient demographic and disease characteristics, as well as exposure to ACE inhibitors was collected. A one-year follow-up case report form was sent to all the physicians who identified a case. The primary outcome of interest was death or dialysis at one year after the onset of SRC, comparing patients exposed and unexposed to ACE inhibitors at the time of onset of SRC. Results: We identified 88 incident cases of SRC, of which were lost to follow up (86% follow up rate). Mean age was 5 years, 67% were women, 76% had diffuse SSc and median disease duration since the onset of the first non-raynaud s symptom was.5 years. The majority of cases had a hypertensive SRC (n=7/76) and only 5 had a normotensive SRC. Eighteen patients (4%) were on an ACE inhibitor immediately prior to the onset of the SRC. At one year follow up, 7 (6%) SRC patients had died and an additional (7%) remained on dialysis. The crude one-year cumulative incidence of death in those exposed to ACE inhibitors at the time of onset of SRC compared to the unexposed was.56 (95% confidence interval [CI] ) and the crude one-year cumulative incidence of dialysis was 0.6 (95% CI ). The crude Cox proportional hazard ratio comparing the time to death of SRC patients exposed to ACE inhibitors prior to the onset of SRC to those unexposed was.95 (95% CI ). After controlling for differences in prednisone exposure and history of systemic hypertension in the two groups, the adjusted Cox proportional hazard ratio comparing the time to death of SRC patients exposed to ACE inhibitors prior to the onset of SRC to those unexposed was.5 (95% CI , p=0.094). Conclusion: SRC was associated with poor one-year outcomes. Exposure to an ACE inhibitor prior to the onset of SRC was associated with an increased risk of death during the first year of follow up after SRC. Clinicians caring for patients with early SSc should use ACE inhibitors cautiously. Disclosure: M. Hudson, None; M. Baron, None; S. Tatibouet, None; D.

Science 9:84,00; Tzur S et al. Hum Genet 8:45,00]. The role of APOL in lupus nephritis (LN) related ESRD is unexplored. We tested for association between APOLrisk variants and LN-ESRD in a national sample of unrelated AAs with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods: The study sample included 668 AA cases with LN-ESRD (456 with kidney biopsy documentation; physician-reported) and 697 AA patients with longstanding SLE lacking LN (mean duration of disease: 0. years). Genotyping was performed on a Sequenom platform. Allele frequency differences between LN-ESRD cases and SLE non-nephropathy cases were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression models, adjusting for non-muscle myosin heavy chain 9 gene single nucleotide polymorphism rs48480 using a recessive genetic model. Results: In cases with LN-ESRD, 87.% were female, 89% received cytotoxic therapy, mean + SD age at SLE onset was years, and duration of SLE to ESRD was years with median at 5 years. In non-nephritis SLE patients, 9.5% were female with age at SLE onset years. Contrasting all cases with and without ESRD, APOL risk variants were significantly associated with LN-ESRD (odds ratio.5 ( % CI); p=4.5e-9); significant differences in association were not observed when comparing cases with or without kidney biopsy documentation to SLE patients without LN. The duration of SLE onset to ESRD for those with the G/G variants was 5.49+/-0.54 (median=4) years, while that for those without the variants was 7.78+/-0.7 (median=6) years, p<0.05. Conclusion: This study demonstrates strong association between both APOL G and G variants and LN-associated ESRD in AAs. It appears likely that APOL G and G coding variants, which are rare in European populations, contribute to nephropathy progression in LN-ESRD, as well as in FSGS and other nondiabetic etiologies of ESRD. These variants, and their higher 6 0 Program Book

The Risk of Lymphoma in Patients Receiving Anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor Therapy for Rheumatoid Arthritis: Results From the British Society for Rheumatology Biologics Register- Rheumatoid Arthritis Louise K. Mercer, Mark Lunt, Audrey S. Low, James B. Galloway, Kath Watson, William G. Dixon, BSRBR Control Centre Consortium, Deborah P. Symmons, Kimme L. Hyrich and On behalf of the BSRBR 4, Arthritis Research UK Epidemiology Unit, The University of Manchester, Manchester, United Kingdom, Manchester, United Kingdom, Arthritis Research UK Epidemiology Unit, Manchester, United Kingdom, 4 British Society for Rheumatology, London, United Kingdom Background/Purpose: The risk of lymphoma is increased in people with RA compared to the general population and is greatest in severe RA. Anti-TNF therapy is now widely used to treat RA, especially severe RA. The aim of this study was to determine whether anti-tnf influences the risk of lymphoma when used in routine UK clinical practice. Methods: The analysis was conducted in the BSRBR-RA, a national cohort study. Patients with RA starting treatment with the TNF inhibitors etanercept (ETA), infliximab (INF) or adalimumab (ADA) and a biologic-naïve comparison cohort exposed to non-biologic therapy (nbdmard) were recruited between Subjects were followed until 09/0/00, first lymphoma or death, whichever came first. Subjects with a history of lymphoproliferative malignancy prior to registration were excluded. Incident cancers were identified in ways; lifelong flagging with national cancer agencies; 6 monthly patient and physician questionnaires for years and annual physician questionnaires thereafter. Only first lymphoma per subject, confirmed by histology or cancer agency, was analysed. The rates of lymphoma and non-hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in the nbdmard cohort and in patients ever exposed to anti-tnf were compared using Cox proportional hazards models adjusted using deciles of propensity score (DP) which included baseline age, gender, DAS score, HAQ, disease duration, use of steroids, current/previous cyclophosphamide, smoking and registration date. The first 6 months of follow-up were excluded. There were too few Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) to compare rates. Results: 84 incident lymphomas were confirmed: 0 in 465 nbdmard-treated subjects and 64 in 987 anti-tnf (5 versus 96 per person-years (pyrs); Table). After adjusting using DP there was no difference in risk of lymphoma between the cohorts; hazard ratio (HR) for anti-tnf. (95% CI 0.55,.). There were 5 (%) HL in the nbdmard cohort and 9 (%) in anti-tnf. Among 7 NHL, the most frequent subtype was diffuse large B cell lymphoma; 8 (50% of NHL) in nbdmard and 5 (45%) anti-tnf. There was no significant difference in risk of NHL between the cohorts (table). Conclusion: There is no evidence that anti-tnf increases the risk of lymphoma over the background risk associated with RA, but further follow up is needed to establish if the picture changes with time.

Methods: In the IMPROVED study 60 patients were included with early rheumatoid or undifferentiated arthritis (RA or UA). All patients started with methotrexate (MTX) 5mg/wk and prednisone 60mg/day tapered to 7.5mg/day in 7 weeks. Patients in remission (DAS<.6) after 4 months (early remission) tapered prednisone to zero and, when in remission at 8 months, tapered MTX. Patients not in early remission were randomized either to a combination of MTX 5mg/wk, hydroxychloroquine 64 0 Program Book

67 400mg/day, sulphasalazine 000mg/day and prednisone 7.5mg/ day (arm ) or to adalimumab (ADA) 40mg/weeks with MTX 5mg/wk (arm ). If not in remission after 8 months, patients in arm switched to ADA+MTX and patients in arm increased ADA to 40mg/week. Proportions of remission and radiological progression measured by Sharp-van der Heijde scoring method after one year follow up were compared between the different treatment strategies. Results: After 4 months 75 patients (6%) achieved early remission and (6%) did not, of which 6 patients were randomized, 8 to arm and 78 to arm. In 6 (0%) patients the protocol was not followed, were lost to follow up after 4 months and in total 4 after year. Of those in early remission 6 (96%) tapered prednisone after 4 months and 00 (5%) tapered MTX after 8 months. After year, remission was achieved in 57 (69%) patients and 9 (%, 0% of all patients) were in drug free remission. Patients in arm and achieved remission in similar proportions after 8 months (0 (6%) versus 7 (5%), p=.0), but after year patients in arm more often achieved remission than in arm ( (4%) vs (5%), p=0.0). Patients in arm who at 8 months tapered ADA+MTX combination to MTX monotherapy, more often remained in remission after one year than patients tapering poly-dmards+prednisone to MTX monotherapy in arm (7/6 (65%) vs /0 (7%), p=0.0). After failing to achieve remission on poly-dmards+prednisone, 6/4 patients (8%) who switched to ADA achieved remission after one year, compared to 8/7 (0%) who failed on ADA+MTX and increased ADA (p=0.). Of the total study population 5% were in remission after year. Median (IQR) radiological damage progression after year was 0(0-0) in patients who achieved early remission, and 0(0-0) and 0(0-0) in arms and, respectively (p=0.). Conclusion: After one year of remission steered combination treatment, 5% of the patients with early arthritis achieved remission. Patients in early remission after initial treatment with MTX and prednisone most often achieved remission after one year (69%) and % were in drug free remission. Patients who failed to achieve early remission benefited more from a treatment strategy with adalimumab than with multiple DMARDs+prednisone. In this treat-to-remission cohort, radiological damage progression after year was negligible in all patients. Disclosure: L. Heimans, None; K. V. C. Wevers-de Boer, None; K. Visser, None; H. K.

Genome-Wide Association Study to High-Throughput Cell-Based Phenotypic Screen Identifies Novel Chemical Inhibitors of CD40 Signaling Gang Li, Dorothee Diogo, Di Wu, Jim Spoonamore, Rheumatoid Arthritis Consortium International (RACI), Eli Stahl 4, Nicola Tolliday and Robert M. Plenge, Brigham and Women s Hospital, Boston, MA, Broad Institute, Cambridge, MA, Boston, 4 Brigham and Women s Hospital Background/Purpose: Deriving therapeutic targets from human genetics linked with biological alterations of risk alleles may provide a more successful approach to drug development than traditional efforts that focus on biological insight alone. Here, we successfully translate a SNP association from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) into a high-throughput screen (HTS) based on cellular phenotype in a human B cell line to identify inhibitors of CD40-mediated NF-κB signaling. Methods: We fine-map the CD40 risk locus in 7, seropositive RA patients and 5,870 controls genotyped on the Immunochip, together with deep sequencing of CD40 coding exons in 500 RA cases and 650 controls. We use flow cytometry to measure CD40 protein levels on the surface of primary CD9+ from 90 healthy control individuals. We use gene expression arrays to measure CD40 RNA levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from,469 healthy control individuals. We use retroviral shrna infection to perturb the amount of CD40 on the surface of a human B lymphocyte cell line (BL). We develop a highthroughput NF-κB luciferase reporter assay in BL cells activated with trimerized CD40 ligand (tcd40l), and conduct an HTS of,98 chemical compounds and FDA-approved drugs. Counterscreens of the top hit compounds were performed in the BL line activated with both tcd40l and LPS, and in an additional B cell line, Ramos, activated with tcd40l and TNF. Two known and two novel compounds were tested for inhibition of tcd40- NFkB signaling in primary human CD9+ B cells by measuring CD86 expression with flow cytometry. Results: A single common SNP at the CD40 locus explains the entire signal of association (rs480485, P=.4x0-9), without any evidence for independent rare variants contributing to RA risk. Subjects homozygous for the common RA risk allele have ~% more CD40 on the surface of primary human CD9+ B lymphocytes than subjects homozygous for the non-risk allele (P=0-9), a finding corroborated by expression quantitative trait loci (eqtl) analysis in PBMC s (P<0-5). We observe a direct correlation between amount of CD40 protein and phosphorylation of RelA (p65), a subunit of the NF-κB transcription factor. Using our luciferase reporter assay, we identify 8 hit compounds (out of,98) that consistent inhibit luciferase activity following tcd40l activation. After a series of counter-screens and testing in primary human CD9+ B cells, we identify known and novel chemical inhibitors not previously implicated in inflammation or CD40-mediated NFκB signaling. One known inhibitor is tranilast, a drug currently in a phase II clinical trial of RA; the other is a corticosteroid derivative. The two novel compounds represent promising tool compounds to develop new therapies to treat RA. Conclusion: Our study demonstrates proof-of-concept that human genetics can be used to guide the development of phenotype-based, high-throughput small-molecule screens to identify potential novel therapies in complex traits such as RA.

Strontium ranelate (SrRan), a treatment for osteoporosis, was shown to stimulate cartilage matrix formation in vitro, and to reduce radiographic spinal OA progression in osteoporotic women with spinal OA. The objective of SEKOIA phase III study was to compare the efficacy of SrRan with placebo for reducing radiological progression of knee OA. Methods: SEKOIA is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, -year study involving 68 patients with symptomatic primary knee OA (Kellgren and Lawrence [KL] grade or, joint space width [JSW].5 5 mm) randomly allocated to SrRan or g/day, or placebo. Primary endpoint was radiographic change in JSW of the medial tibiofemoral compartment from baseline to LOCF. Group comparisons were performed in the ITT using a general linear model with Dunnett s multiple comparison procedure with baseline JSW, center and sex as covariates. JSW was measured yearly using a validated computer-assisted centralised reading method. Secondary endpoints included radiological progression (JSN 0.5mm), radio-clinical progression (JSN 0.5mm and WOMAC improvement 0%), WOMAC scores, knee pain, and adverse events. Results: The ITT set included 7 (8%) patients. Age was 6±7 years, BMI was 0±5 kg/m, JSW was.5±0.8 mm. 6% were KL II. 69% were female. SrRan was associated with less progression of cartilage degradation, decrease in JSW was 0.±0.56 mm with g/day; 0.7±0.6 mm with g/day and 0.7±0.59 mm with placebo; estimated differences (SE) were 0.4(0.04),p<0.00 for g/day and 0.0(0.04),p=0.08 for g/ day with no difference between doses. Results were confirmed in the Randomised Set and sensitivity analyses demonstrated minimal impact of missing post-baseline data. There were less radiological and radioclinical progressors with SrRan and g/day: Secondary criteria Strontium ranelate g/day (n=445) Strontium ranelate g/day (n=454) Placebo value (n=47) n % E (SE)* (95% CI) Radiological 99 (%) 0.80 (.9) progression ( 6.54; 5.06) Radioclinical (8%).94 (.98) progression ( 7.8; 0.05) p value n % E (SE)* (95% CI) *Estimated difference versus placebo p value < (6%) 7.50 (.0) (%) (.4;.66) (7%) 5. (.9) ( 8.86;.7) (%) Greater reductions in total WOMAC score (p=0.045), pain (p=0.08) and physical function subscore (p=0.099), and knee pain (p=0.065) were observed with SrRan g/day. SrRan was well tolerated: 86%, 88% and 87% reported an emergent adverse event (EAE) in the SrRan g, g and placebo group respectively, 7% of the patients in each group reported a serious EAE. EAE in each SrRAn group, in the placebo group led to death. Conclusion: SrRan and g/day delayed radiographic progression of knee OA, evidencing a structure-modifying effect. This structural effect is translated clinically into a lower number of patients having a radiological progression over thresholds known to be predictive of OA-related surgery suggesting that SrRan could reduce the number of patients needing knee surgery in the long-term. The structural effect was accompanied by symptom improvement at the dose of g/day. References Bruyere et al, ARD :77-70 Altman et al, Ost Cart 005-,-9 Disclosure: J. Y.

Tocilizumab (TCZ), an IL-6 receptor inhibitor, was evaluated for the treatment of polyarticular-course JIA (pcjia; RF+ and RF poly- and extended oligoarticular JIA; systemic JIA was excluded) in the CHERISH study. Methods: CHERISH is a 04-wk study in pts age -7 yrs with active pcjia for 6 mo who failed MTX. In the first 6 wks, all pts received open-label (OL) TCZ every 4 wks (if body weight [BW] 0 kg, 8 mg/kg [n = 9]; if BW <0 kg, pts were randomly assigned to 8 mg/kg [n = 4] or 0 mg/kg [n = 5]). At wk 6, eligible pts (with JIA ACR0 response) entered a 4-wk randomized (pts were assigned [:] to placebo [PBO] or to continue TCZ at the same dose), double-blind (DB) withdrawal period for evaluation of the primary endpoint (JIA ACR0 flare relative to wk 6). Pts who flared or completed the DB period entered an OL extension in which they received the same TCZ dose as in the lead-in period. Efficacy data (until wk 40) are presented for the ITT population; safety data are presented for the safety population to the cut date. Results: 88 pts entered the initial lead-in period (77% girls; 79% and 46% were receiving concurrent MTX and oral corticosteroids [CS], respectively); 66 pts entered the DB period; 5 pts (8%) withdrew due to insufficient response, (%) due to adverse events (AEs), and 4 (%) due to other reasons. The primary endpoint was met, and JIA ACR0/50/70 responses were significantly higher with TCZ compared to PBO at wk 40 (Table). Efficacy responses for the initial lead-in period at wk 6 are shown (Table). The degree of improvement was lower for these endpoints in the TCZ 8 mg/kg <0 kg BW group compared with the other groups (TCZ 0 mg/kg <0 kg BW and TCZ 8 mg/kg 0 kg BW) (Table). At the time of the safety data cut, there were 84 pt-yrs (PY) of follow-up in the 88 pts enrolled. Rates/00PY of AEs and SAEs were 480 and.5; infections were the most common AEs (64/00PY) and SAEs (4.9/00PY). ALT and AST elevations ULN were each reported in.7% and <% of pts. Neutropenia (<000 cells/ mm ) and thrombocytopenia (<50,000 cells/mm ) occurred in.7% and.% of pts. LDL-cholesterol 0 mg/dl occurred in.4% of pts. No grade /4 (> ULN) elevations of serum bilirubin were reported. Conclusion: TCZ treatment in pcjia was efficacious, with a sustained clinically meaningful improvement using a monthly regimen at doses of 8 mg/kg if BW 0 kg and 0 mg/kg if BW <0 kg. The safety profile is consistent with that in other TCZtreated pts (eg, systemic JIA). References. De Benedetti Clin Exp Rheumatol. 99;49.. De Benedetti Ann Rheum Dis 0;70(suppl ):67. Disclosure: H.

The aim of this study was to identify the clinical and laboratory predictors of response in this cohort. Methods: All patients failed corticosteroids and at least other immunosuppressive (IS) agent and received rituximab at weeks 0/ (Early) or 8/9 (Late). The endpoint in this 44-week trial was time to achieve DOI [³0% improvement in of 6 core set measures (CSM) (includes manual muscle testing (MMT), muscle enzymes, HAQ, patient/parent global, physician global disease activity and extramuscular disease activity) with no > CSM worsening by ³5% (excluding MMT)] at consecutive visits. We analyzed the effect of the following baseline variables on the time to DOI: myositis subtype, demographics, laboratory [IgM, IgG, myositis-associated autoantibodies (MAA), CBC, creatinine], damage measures (global, muscle damage and atrophy and organ-related), disease activity and other clinical parameters (skeletal/gi/pulmonary/muscle disease activity, Raynaud, calcinosis, mechanic hands), CSM, medication (early vs. late rituximab, IS agents and corticosteroids) and MAA subset [anti-synthetase (anti-syn), Mi-, SRP, TIF-γ, MJ, other autoantibodies and those without an MAA]. The Wilcoxon test was used to univariately evaluate the association of baseline variables with the time to DOI. A multivariate time-dependent proportional hazard model was built using forward selection (α=0.05) based on univariate variables with p<0.. Results: 00 randomized patients (76 PM/76 DM/48 JDM) were analyzed (96 Early/04 Late).Table lists the baseline variables which predicted time to DOI univariately. The multivariate model included autoantibodies (anti-syn was the best DOI predictor followed by Mi- as compared to the no MAA subset), and global damage (lower damage had a better response). The effects of global damage diminished by week 0. Myositis subtype (JDM had a better response than adult myositis) was not statistically significant univariately, however, final model was stratified by the subtypes due to their clinical relevance and post hoc had statistical significance in multivariate models. Conclusion: Anti-Syn and Mi- autoabs strongly predicted improvement in rituximab-treated refractory myositis patients. JDM and lower disease damage predicted more rapid improvement early in course of treatment. It is unclear whether this effect is due to a delayed beneficial effect of rituximab in patients with higher damage and adult PM/DM. These results suggest that early, more aggressive therapy could be considered in some clinical and serologic myositis subsets to achieve a better therapeutic response and to avoid disease-related damage.

Head to Head Comparison of Subcutaneous Abatacept Versus Adalimumab in the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis: Key Efficacy and Safety Results From the Ample (Abatacept Versus Adalimumab Comparison in Biologic-Naive RA Subjects with Background Methotrexate) Trial Michael E.

AMPLE (Abatacept Versus Adalimumab Comparison in Biologic-Naive RA Subjects with Background Methotrexate) is the first head-to-head study powered to compare SC abatacept (ABA) and adalimumab (ADA) on a background of methotrexate (MTX). Here, we report key year data from AMPLE including ACR core component data. Methods: AMPLE is an ongoing, phase IIIb, randomized, investigator-blinded study of 4 months duration with a month primary efficacy endpoint. Biologic-naïve RA patients with an inadequate response to MTX were randomized to 5 mg ABA weekly or 40 mg ADA bi-weekly, in combination with MTX. The primary end point was non-inferiority (NI) of ABA to ADA based on ACR 0 at months; key secondary endpoints were rates of radiographic non-progression, safety, injection site reactions and retention. ACR core component data were also analyzed. Results: A total of 646 patients were randomized and treated; 86.% of ABA patients and 8.0% of ADA patients completed months. Baseline characteristics were balanced across both arms (mean DAS8-CRP of 5.5 and disease duration ~.8 yrs). At year, 64.8% of ABA patients and 6.4% of ADA patients achieved an ACR 0 response, with an estimated difference between the two arms (95% CI) of.8 (-5.6, 9.) supporting NI of ABA to ADA. The kinetics of response across ACR scores were comparable overall, with an ACR50 of 46.% and 46% and ACR70 of 9.% and 6.% for ABA and ADA, respectively, at year. Similar responses over time were seen in some ACR core components (Figure). At year, the rates of radiographic non-progression were comparable, as were mean changes in van der Heijde-modified total Sharp scores (0.58 vs. 0.8, for ABA vs. ADA respectively). The rates of AEs, SAEs, serious infections and malignancies were comparable. There were more patients with autoimmune AEs (.% vs. 0.9%) in the ABA arm; however, none were serious. One patient discontinued in each arm due to an autoimmune event. There were fewer discontinuations with ABA due to AEs (.5% vs. 6.%) and due to serious infections (0% vs..5%). Injection site reactions occurred in significantly fewer ABA-treated patients (.8% vs. 9.% [p=0.006]). Conclusion: This first head-to-head study in RA patients comparing biologic agents on background MTX demonstrated that subcutaneous abatacept is comparable to adalimumab by most efficacy measures, including radiographic progression. Safety was generally similar with fewer discontinuations and injection site reactions observed with abatacept. Disclosure: M. E.

Evoked Pain Brain Response Is Associated with Reduced μ-opioid Receptor Binding in Fibromyalgia Heng Wang, Daniel J. Clauw, Jon-Kar Zubieta and Richard E. Harris, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI Background/Purpose: Previous studies indicate that fibromyalgia (FM) patients have augmented clinical and brain responses to painful stimuli (i.e. hyperalgesia/allodynia), as well as increased production of endogenous opioids, and reduced μ-opioid receptor (MOR) binding. However, it is not known if these factors co-occur within the same individual or if these factors act independently. We performed a longitudinal investigation using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fmri) and positron emission tomography (PET) in chronic pain patients diagnosed with FM to address this question. If these factors operate in the same individual, we expected an inverse correlation between changes in fmri evoked pain activity and MOR binding potential (BP). Methods: fmri and PET imaging sessions were performed on 8 female opioid-naïve FM patients (age 45.4+/-.0). Each participant underwent 4 weeks of non-pharmacological treatment. Before and after treatment, each patient underwent 98 0 Program Book

101 an fmri scan with varying levels of pressure pain applied to the thumb as well as a 90-minute [C]carfentanil PET scan under resting conditions. After quantification of the PET data with Logan plots, fmri images and preprocessing of PET data were performed with statistical parametric mapping (SPM5). fmri and PET scans were normalized to the same template. Difference images before and after treatment were calculated for both the fmri contrast and PET images. A whole-brain voxel-by-voxel correlation analysis between the fmri and PET difference images were carried out using the Biological Parametric Mapping toolbox. Activation clusters were defined based on a correlation coefficient, with R >=0.6 uncorrected. Clinical pain was assessed with Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SFMPQ). Results: Negative correlations between the change in the fmri blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) signal and MOR BP were observed in multiple regions involved in pain processing and modulation: right posterior insula R=-0.8,P=0.0004; left medial insula R=-0.8, P=0.000; left orbital frontal cortex R=-0.75, P=0.0004; right amygdala R=-0.68, P=0.00; brainstem R=-0.7, P= Positive correlations were observed in right DLPFC R=0.66, P=0.00; posterior cingulate R=0.6, P=0.006; right putamen R=0.7, P= Changes in both functional imaging outcomes were negatively associated with changes in clinical pain: BOLD in right DLPFC and clinical pain SFMPQ; R=- 0.5, P=0.0; MOR BP in left medial insula and SFMPQ present pain R=-0.5, P=0.0. Conclusion: We find strong longitudinal associations between evoked pain activations suggestive of hyperalgesia, and µ-opioid receptor availability (binding potential, BP) within the same brain regions, in individual FM patients. Positive associations were also observed between BOLD responses, and μ-opioid receptor BP (in opposive directions) with respect to clinical pain. These data suggest that the µ-opioid system is somehow involved in the pathogenesis of FM, and may even help explain why these patients are generally not felt to respond to narcotic analgesics, and may even be made worse when these drugs are used therapeutically.

Laquinimod (LAQ) Is Equivalent to Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) in Preventing and Suppressing Murine Lupus Nephritis and Has Greater Effects On Myeloid/Monocyte/ Macrophage Cells Bevra H. Hahn, Maida Wong, Elaine Lourenco and Brian Skaggs, UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA Background/Purpose: Lupus nephritis (LN) depends on autoab deposition and activation of multiple cell types that infiltrate kidneys and promote inflammation monocytes/macrophages (MM), DCs, T and B cells. Laquinimod (LAQ) administered to humans downregulates Ag presentation, decreases chemokine production, decreases MHC expression on MM, and induces apoptotic pathways in PBMC (Gurevich M et al 00). LAQ reduces progression of relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (Comi G et al NEJM 0); it is currently in clinical trials in SLE. MMF targets primarily lymphocytes; it is effective in many LN patients Methods: We compared clinical and immune cell changes in groups of 0- BWF female mice treated orally times a week for 4 weeks with a) water; b) LAQ mg/kg; c) LAQ 5 mg/kg; d) MMF 0 mg/kg; e) MMF00 mg/kg. Results: Survival was better in both LAQ groups and the MMF00 group vs controls (p=0.08). LAQ at both doses was equivalent to MMF00 in preventing proteinuria in mice treated before disease appeared. At wks of age 50% of mice on water had proteinuria vs zero in LAQ and MMF00 groups (p<0.000) Renal histology mirrored proteinuria: mean total histologic scores were 7.8 on water,.0 on LAQ and 0.9 on MMF00 (p<0.0 both treatment groups compared to controls). Glomerular deposition of Ig and C were in the normal range in LAQ and MMF, but significantly increased in the water group (p<0.00). Mice treated after clinical nephritis appeared ( + proteinuria) improved on LAQ: after wks of treatment proteinuria was present in 00% on water vs 5% on LAQ (p<0.00). Survival was also better in mice treated with LAQ (p<0.000) Effects on splenic PBMC differed between LAQ and MMF. Neither treatment changed total numbers of B cells. MMF decreased CD4+and CD8+ T cell percents; LAQ did not. LAQ compared to MMF increased numbers of two putative regulatory cells, CD4+CD5+Foxp+ Treg and CDb+Ly6intGR-+ myeloid MM. Most interesting was the observation that LAQ, but not MMF, significantly reduced numbers of MM. Conclusion: LAQ was highly effective in preventing and suppressing proteinuria and glomerular immune disease in BWF mice. Responses to MMF in high dose were similarly good. However, LAQ reduced numbers of MM, and MMF did not. In addition, LAQ induced different types of regulatory cells, distinguishing it from MMF. Since suppression of MM is likely to reduce renal inflammation and damage, future development of LAQ as a therapeutic for lupus nephritis is especially promising. Disclosure: B. H.

Rheumatoid Arthritis-Associated PTPN Modulates Toll- Like Receptor-Mediated, Type Interferon-Dependent Innate Immunoregulation Yaya Wang, Stephanie Stanford, Wenbo Zhou, Jennifer L. Auger, Genhong Cheng, Amanda Campbell, Fernanda M. Shoyama, Henry H. Balfour Jr. 4, Andrew C. Chan 5, Bryce A. Binstadt, Nunzio Bottini and Erik J. Peterson, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology, La Jolla, CA, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, 4 University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, 5 Genentech Inc, South San Francisco, CA Background/Purpose: A coding polymorphism (C858T) in PTPN is strongly associated with risk of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and other autoimmune diseases. PTPN encodes Lymphoid Phosphatase (Lyp); the Lyp disease variant bears an R60W substitution ( LypW ). The mechanism by which LypW increases disease susceptibility remains unclear. PTPN- expressing dendritic cells (DC) and macrophages have been implicated in RA pathology. Such myeloid cells produce type interferons (IFN) and proinflammatory cytokines in response to Toll-like receptor (TLR) engagement. We hypothesized that 0 Program Book 99 TUESDAY November, 0

102 TUESDAY November, 0 PTPN might modulate TLR signaling and attendant innate immune responses. Methods: We studied TLR signaling and type IFN-mediated antiviral responses and immunoregulation in Ptpn-deficient myeloid cells and mice, in transgenic mice harboring human LypW or LypR (major allele protein product), and in human LypW carrier peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Results: We found markedly decreased induction of type IFN after TLR/4/7/9 activation in Ptpn -/- macrophages, DC, and plasmacytoid DC. Interestingly, Ptpn was dispensable for induction of proinflammatory cytokines, including TNFα, IL- 6, and IL-β, after TLR//4/7/9 stimulation. The selective TLR signalling defect in Ptpn -/- cells was associated with impaired type IFN-dependent immunity, manifested by reduced serum type IFN, impaired dendritic cell activation, and diminished T cell responses after lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection of Ptpn -/- mice. In the K/BxN serum transfer model of rheumatoid arthritis, treatment with type IFN-inducing TLR ligands suppresses disease. However, we observed significantly decreased TLR ligand-mediated suppression of inflammatory arthritis in Ptpn -/- mice. RA-associated LypW carrier human PBMC and myeloid cells derived from LypW transgenic mice displayed defective induction of type IFN after TLR stimulation. LypR directly associated with TNF receptor-associated factor (TRAF), a key TLR signaling mediator upstream of type IFN induction. LypR, but not LypW promoted TRAF K6-linked polyubiquitinylation, which is required for TLR-induced type IFN production. Conclusion: PTPN is a key positive regulator of TLR-driven upregulation of type IFN. LypW, product of the RAassociated PTPN allele, exhibits loss of function in type IFN dependent processes, including antiviral host defense and amelioration of inflammatory arthritis. Our findings strongly suggest that PTPN could regulate severity of joint inflammation in RA through modulation of TLR signaling in innate immune cells. Disclosure: Y. Wang, None; S.

Canete, Paul P. Tak, Hergen Spits and Dominique L. Baeten, Division of Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology and Department of Experimental Immunology, Academic Medical Center / University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands, Rheumatology Department, Hospital Clinic, Barcelona, Spain, Tytgat Institute for Liver and Intestinal Research, Academic Medical Center / University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a prototypic autoimmune disease characterized by a prominent humoral autoimmunity. Of particular relevance is the local production of autoantibodies such as rheumatoid factor and anticitrullinated protein antibodies in the inflamed synovial tissue. The mechanisms underlying break of B cell tolerance and local autoantibody production remains poorly understood. This study was conducted in order to identify cellular and molecular pathways implicated in RA-specific humoral autoimmunity. Methods: Synovial tissue samples were obtained by arthroscopy from untreated individuals with RA (n=) and inflammation matched SpA controls (n=58). Gene expression profiling was performed on tissue samples of patients with established arthritis using 44K Whole Genome Human microarrays (Agilent). Top differentially expressed genes were validated on three independent cohorts by Taqman based RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry. Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) experiments were conducted using Bob knockout mice and their littermate controls. Results: Microarray screening for genes differentially expressed in the inflamed synovium, the key target of the disease process in RA, revealed a prominent and disease-specific B cell/plasma cell signature with the B cell-specific transcriptional co-activator Bob and its transcriptional target BCMA among the most upregulated genes. Validation by RT-qPCR on two independent cohorts representing early and established arthritis confirmed microarray data and demonstrated elevated expression of Bob and BCMA not only in established RA, but also at the early phase of the disease. Quantitative evaluation of immunohistochemical stainings of synovial tissue with monoclonal antibody for Bob revealed significant increase in Bob positive cells in RA synovium (p<0.0). Next we determined whether lack of functional Bob modifies disease onset or severity in CIA. Interestingly, the results showed that Bob / mice were fully resistant to CIA induction compared to their wild-type littermates. This remarkable protection from CIA is explained by failure to produce pathogenic anti-collagen autoantibodies in the absence of Bob. In contrast, Bob / mice were susceptible to MOG protein induced EAE and incidence and severity of clinical disease were not altered in these mice comparing to wild-type littermates, suggesting that absence of Bob does not impact on antigen-presentation/costimulatory capacity of B cells. Conclusion: The specific increase in Bob expressing cells in RA synovitis and the resistance of Bob-defecient mice to development of CIA indicate that Bob/BCMA axis may contribute to humoral autoimmunity in RA. The relationship between an aberrant Bob expression and the break of peripheral tolerance in RA is currently under investigation. Disclosure: N. Yeremenko, None; T. Cantaert, None; M.

Expression of TLR5 Strongly Correlates with Levels of TNF-a and DAS8 in RA Monocytes and Ligation of TLR5 Induces Angiogenesis in RA Nathan D. Chamberlain, Michael Volin, Olga M. Vila, Shiva Arami, Suncica Volkov and Shiva Shahrara, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL, Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine Midwestern University, Downers Grove, IL Background/Purpose: This study was performed to determine whether expression of TLR5 is associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) disease activity as well as to examine the role of TLR5 ligation in the pathogenesis of RA. Methods: Expression of TLR5 was determined in RA and normal (NL) PB monocytes and in vitro differentiated macrophages by 00 0 Program Book

103 real-time RT-PCR and/or flow cytometry. Next, linear regression analysis was employed to correlate expression of TLR5 with levels of TNF-a and DAS8 score in RA monocytes from 4-48 patients. Finally, the mechanism by which TLR5 ligation mediates RA pathogenesis was determined by endothelial chemotaxis and tube formation. Results: We performed microarray studies to identify differentially regulated genes in RA synovial fluid macrophages from active patients and identified Toll like receptor (TLR)5 as one of the most highly upregulated genes in RA synovial fluid macrophages compared to normal macrophages. Using realtime RT-PCR and FACS analysis we confirmed that expression of TLR5 is significantly elevated in RA synovial fluid macrophages (5 fold) and RA monocytes (7 fold) compared to normal counterpart cells. Interestingly, we found that blockade of TLR5 on RA peripheral blood (PB) monocytes greatly reduces RA synovial fluid mediated TNF-a transcription by 80% suggesting that there are endogenous TLR5 ligands expressed in the RA synovial fluid that are crucial for joint TNF-a modulation. Since TNF-a stimulation is also capable of upregulating TLR5 levels there is a positive feedback modulation in RA monocytes between TNF-a and TLR5 ligation and expression. We found that patients with higher expression of TNF-a expressed elevated levels of TLR5 (R =0.79, p=.6x0-7 ) in RA monocytes and the concentrations of TLR5 and TNF-a strongly correlated with increased disease activity as determined by examination of 8 defined joints (DAS8) (correlation of TLR5 with DAS8; R =0.75) (correlation of TNF-a with DAS8; R =0.58). Since our previous studies demonstrated that TLR5 expression is elevated on RA synovial tissue endothelial cells compared to control tissue we asked whether ligation of this receptor induces angiogenesis and if TLR5 endogenous ligands present in RA synovial fluid play a role in this process. We found that when endothelial cells were exposed to a dose response of flagellin, a TLR5 agonist, migration of endothelial cells was induced at concentrations ranging from 0. to 00 ng/ml (p<0.05). Further, incubation of endothelial cells with neutralizing antibody to TLR5 significantly suppressed RA synovial fluid endothelial migration and tube formation suggesting that the RA synovial fluid contains TLR5 endogenous ligands that are chemotactic for TLR5+ endothelial cells. Conclusion: Our observations highlight that there is a strong correlation between TNF-a and TLR5 expression with disease activity in RA monocytes suggesting that TLR5 may be a TNF-a responsive gene that is linked to RA progression through induction of angiogenesis.

Credit Designation Statement CEC designates this educational activity for a maximum of.0 AMA PRA Category Credit(s). Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. Needs Assessment Statement Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the leading causes of disability in the United States (US), and it represents a significant burden on the US healthcare system. Approximately half of persons over the age of 65 report having OA, making arthropathies the fifth most common office visit diagnosis. Projections regarding the rate of hip and knee revisions, which are typically last-line therapies, have provided that they are expected to expand dramatically over the coming decades. Because of this, there is a need for more effective methods to treat the pain associated with OA and this activity will provide clinicians with the tools necessary to bridge the chasm that exists between first-line therapies and total joint replacement. Learning Objectives Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to: identify the different pathophysiologic processes responsible for the generation of pain in osteoarthritis differentiate how the mechanisms responsible for producing pain affect the appropriate selection of therapeutic agents evaluate the risks and benefits of new treatment options in OA, and identify how they fit within the existing treatment paradigm 6:0-7:00 PM Registration and Dinner 7:00-7:0 PM Welcome and Introductions Marc Hochberg, MD, MPH, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 7:0-7:5 PM Advances in Understanding the Mechanisms of Pain in Osteoarthritis C.

MER is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians. Credit Designation Statement MER designates this live activity for a maximum of.5 AMA PRA Category Credit(s). Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. Needs Assessment Statement Effective treatment of OA must focus on addressing all aspects of pathophysiology, including preventing cartilage loss and damage to the joint. Current data support the use of chondroitin sulfate, alone or in combination with glucosamine, as an effective treatment for patients with OA. These substances may result in an improvement of quality of life for patients with OA as well as significantly reduce the costs this disease generates in society. This program will investigate the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis, review the pharmacologic actions and clinical efficacy of chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine, and discuss strategies to effectively manage patients with OA. Learning Objectives Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to: discuss the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis and identify diseasemodifying strategies to reduce disability describe the synergistic effects of concomitant glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate therapy in the prevention of osteoarthritis joint damage discuss currently available clinical data on the use of chondroitin sulfate, with or without glucosamine, in the treatment of osteoarthritis :00 - :0 PM Registration and Lunch 0 Program Book 9

Selecting Appropriate Biologic Therapy for RA: A Practical Evaluation of Comparative Effectiveness Data Supported by an educational grant from Bristol-Myers Squibb Jointly sponsored by PeerView Institute for Medical Education, Inc. and University of Florida College of Medicine Renaissance Hotel, Congressional Ballroom Physician (ACCME) Accreditation Statement The University Of Florida College Of Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. Credit Designation Statement The University of Florida College of Medicine designates this live activity for a maximum of.0 AMA PRA Category Credit(s). Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. Needs Assessment Statement Rheumatologists and other professionals managing RA have an expanding range of management options available; however, it is imperative that these therapies are used appropriately. Although the body of evidence shows that biologic DMARDs are effective in treating RA, there has been a scarcity of head-to-head comparison studies, a barrier that has confounded the establishment of clear guidelines on how biologic DMARDs should be used and sequenced in the clinic. As an increasing amount of comparative effectiveness research begins to yield evidence which can potentially inform clinical decisions, it is essential to keep rheumatologists and other professionals abreast of these emerging studies to begin to clarify the appropriate selection of biologic therapy for RA with the ultimate goal of improving long term patient outcomes. It is imperative that rheumatologists and other clinicians managing RA remain updated on recent advances in the management of this disease, and are aware of practical strategies for implementing treatment to a main goal of remission.

324 INDUSTRY-SUPPORTED SYMPOSIA Needs Assessment Statement IPMA and MEDEDR have completed a detailed needs assessment of the educational needs of clinicians who are interested in improving patient outcomes in gout. This needs assessment is based upon feedback from previously successful CME interventions, interviews with experts in the field, and a thorough literature search. This needs assessment shows awareness and knowledge transfer is needed to help the rheumatologist and related health care provider (including primary care, podiatrists and nephrologists) better manage patients with gout, including those with comorbid conditions as well as those who are difficult to manage or become refractory to therapy. Rheumatologists and other clinicians must be able to tailor an individualized management strategy utilizing the most advanced treatment options available. Educational gaps include the following: clinicians do not provide consistent treatment; clinicians may not appreciate the seriousness of the disease; clinicians may not recognize the debilitating effects of advanced crystal deposition in gout; clinicians need to identify common comorbidities in patients associated with advanced gout and effectively manage these patient types; clinicians need to keep updated on the safety, efficacy, and use of all available gout treatment options, including new and emerging therapies. Learning Objectives Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to: assess the ascending level of disease in patient case studies, including evaluation of serum urate, pain and inflammation, joint destruction, and quality of life, and understand the evidence supporting options to lower urate levels, treat inflammation, and prevent joint destruction in refractory disease devise a long-term management plan, within each case study, to treat the patient effectively according to their level of disease select the appropriate individualized medical regimen based on the most recent recommendations, taking into consideration the efficacy and safety profiles and risk-benefit ratios of available therapies discuss how emerging agents for gout might address the therapeutic needs of treatment-refractory patients :00 - :0 PM Registration and Refreshments :0 - :5 PM Welcome, Introduction, Overview Jonathan Kay, MD, UMass Memorial Medical Center, Worchester, MA :5 - :05 PM Case Study : Approaching the Gout Patient with Frequent Flares Jonathan Kay, MD, UMass Memorial Medical Center, Worchester, MA :05 - :5 PM Case Study : Current Modalities and Latest Recommendations for Treatment of Monoarticular Flares Robert Keenan, MD, MPH, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC :5 - :0 PM Case Study : Challenging Gout - How to Treat the Refractory Patient Robert Terkeltaub, MD, Veterans Affairs Medical Center; San Diego, CA :0 - :0 PM Summary and Question and Answer Session 0 Program Book
