This case-based slide kit discusses current controversies in the management of secondary HLH, including MAS.

Activity Summary:
The management of Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) remains challenging, owing to variable clinical presentations and ever-changing therapeutic options. Optimizing outcomes for PsA is dependent upon the early identifying patients, developing a personalized treatment strategy, and cohesively collaborating with a multidisciplinary team to address issues related to the challenges of diagnosis and access to appropriate therapy. Furthermore, research in PsA has evolved in recent years to reflect changes in the current disease landscape, study population, new management strategies, advanced recommendations on assessing patients’ overall disease activity and responses to treatment, healthcare providers’ and patients’ treatment expectations, and regulatory requirements. Understanding these can help guide clinical decision-making and improve outcomes for patients with PsA.

Talking PsA is an accredited AMA/ANCC/ACPE activity that highlights the very latest clinical data and is designed to optimize treatment strategies in PsA through a series of four patient case studies. The content and clinical cases were developed and presented by leading Rheumatology and Dermatology experts in PsA.

Slides are developed and updated throughout the year by leading PAH expert physicians. All content is reviewed and approved by the Simply Speaking PAH Planning Committee.

Patients seen in a typical rheumatology practice are at higher risk of PAH secondary to their conditions. Rheumatologists should maintain a high index of suspicion for PAH in their patients with systemic sclerosis and other mixed connective tissue disorders. Emerging evidence suggests that two of the most prevalent CTDs, systemic sclerosis (SSc) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), should be regarded as separate diseases due to their different etiologies, prognoses, and therapeutic responses. This slide kit will present insights into the different pathophysiological processes and management of patients with SSc and SLE-PAH, as well as recommendations for routine screening, risk factors, diagnosis, management, and ongoing monitoring of patients in a rheumatology practice for PAH.

Effective strategies for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) continue to evolve; however, there are no drugs that are universally effective for all patients. Management approaches for many clinical scenarios are not specifically/adequately addressed by current treatment guidelines, necessitating consideration of the most recent clinical trial data. Awareness of advances in RA knowledge base place healthcare professionals at the forefront of RA care. This activity will explain how recent study results in RA apply to clinical practice; discuss significant developments and strategies in RA pathogenesis, measurement, and therapy; and discuss results from key clinical studies on existing and investigational RA agents.

Activity Summary:
Although stringent remission, or at least low disease activity, is the primary goal of RA therapy, many patients do not reach this target. The pathogenesis of RA non-responders remains unidentified and more research is needed to tie the epigenetic, environmental, and therapeutic factors together to optimize treatment response. To this end, development of new therapeutic approaches is an active area of research.

This activity will discuss potential drug targets, clinical needs/limitations of current RA therapy, data of new agents in late-stage clinical development, and the potential impact of new drugs on future management of RA patients.
