    Abstract Objective: The ORAL Surveillance trial found a dose-dependent increase in venous thromboembolism (VTE) and pulmonary embolism (PE) events with tofacitinib versus tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi). We aimed to assess VTE incidence over time and explore risk factors of VTE, including disease activity, in ORAL Surveillance.
    Methods: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) aged 50 years or older with at least one additional cardiovascular risk factor received tofacitinib 5 or 10 mg twice daily (BID) or TNFi. Post hoc, cumulative probabilities and incidence rates (patients with first events/100 patient-years) by 6-month intervals were estimated for adjudicated VTE, deep vein thrombosis, and PE. Cox regression models identified risk factors. Clinical Disease Activity Index leading up to the event was explored in patients with VTE.
    Results: Cumulative probabilities for VTE and PE were higher with tofacitinib 10 mg BID, but not 5 mg BID, versus TNFi. Incidence rates were consistent across 6-month intervals within treatments. Across treatments, risk factors for VTE included prior VTE, body mass index greater than or equal to 35 kg/m
    Conclusion: Incidences of VTE and PE were higher with tofacitinib (10 > 5 mg BID) versus TNFi and were generally consistent over time. Across treatments, VTE risk factors were aligned with previous studies in the general RA population. These data highlight the importance of assessing VTE risk factors, including age, body mass index, and VTE history, when considering initiation of tofacitinib or TNFi in patients with active RA.

    Abstract A biosimilar is a biologic product that is highly similar to a licensed biologic ("originator") such that there are no clinically meaningful differences in safety, purity, or potency between the biosimilar and the originator. As patent protection and data exclusivity for the biologic rituximab expire, several potential biosimilars to rituximab are in development, which could soon lead to the availability of numerous rituximab biosimilars. Biosimilars are evaluated using thorough and rigorous analyses of the potential biosimilar versus the originator biological to confirm similar structure, function, and clinical efficacy as well as safety. Approval of a biosimilar is based upon the totality of the evidence demonstrating similarity to the originator. An understanding of the process of the interchangeable designation of a biosimilar is important in the context of patient outcomes. We conducted an analysis of the properties and benefits of rituximab in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, the development and approval of biosimilars, and the potential benefits of rituximab biosimilars. PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov databases were searched for "biosimilar" and "rituximab" and regulatory and pharmaceutical company web pages were screened regarding biosimilars in development and specific guidelines developed for the approval of biosimilars. The results indicate that, at present, six rituximab biosimilar candidates are undergoing comparative clinical development, and two were recently approved in the European Union. Our analysis indicates rituximab biosimilars are expected to have a continuing role in treating inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis.

    Abstract Objective: Evaluate the impact of community tele-paramedicine (CTP) on patient experience and satisfaction relative to community-level indicators of health disparity.
    Materials and methods: This mixed-methods study evaluates patient-reported satisfaction and experience with CTP, a facilitated telehealth program combining in-home paramedic visits with video visits by emergency physicians. Anonymous post-CTP visit survey responses and themes derived from directed content analysis of in-depth interviews from participants of a randomized clinical trial of mobile integrated health and telehealth were stratified into high, moderate, and low health disparity Community Health Districts (CHD) according to the 2018 New York City (NYC) Community Health Survey.
    Results: Among 232 CTP patients, 55% resided in high or moderate disparity CHDs but accounted for 66% of visits between April 2019 and October 2021. CHDs with the highest proportion of CTP visits were more adversely impacted by social determinants of health relative to the NYC average. Satisfaction surveys were completed in 37% of 2078 CTP visits between February 2021 and March 2023 demonstrating high patient satisfaction that did not vary by community-level health disparity. Qualitative interviews conducted with 19 patients identified differing perspectives on the value of CTP: patients in high-disparity CHDs expressed themes aligned with improved health literacy, self-efficacy, and a more engaged health system, whereas those from low-disparity CHDs focused on convenience and uniquely identified redundancies in at-home services.
    Conclusions: This mixed-methods analysis suggests CTP bridges the digital health divide by facilitating telehealth in communities negatively impacted by health disparities.

    Abstract Background: Peresolimab is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to stimulate the endogenous programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitory pathway. Stimulation of this pathway would be a novel approach to the treatment of patients with autoimmune or autoinflammatory diseases.
    Methods: In this phase 2a, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, we assigned, in a 2:1:1 ratio, adult patients with moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis who had had an inadequate response to, a loss of response to, or unacceptable side effects with conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) or to biologic or targeted synthetic DMARDs to receive 700 mg of peresolimab, 300 mg of peresolimab, or placebo intravenously once every 4 weeks. The primary outcome was the change from baseline to week 12 in the Disease Activity Score for 28 joints based on the C-reactive protein level (DAS28-CRP). The DAS28-CRP ranges from 0 to 9.4, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. The primary comparison was between the 700-mg group and the placebo group. Secondary outcomes included the percentages of patients with American College of Rheumatology 20 (ACR20), ACR50, and ACR70 responses - defined as improvements from baseline of 20%, 50%, and 70% or more, respectively, in the numbers of tender and swollen joints and in at least three of five important domains - at week 12.
    Results: At week 12, the change from baseline in the DAS28-CRP was significantly greater in the 700-mg peresolimab group than in the placebo group (least-squares mean change [±SE], -2.09±0.18 vs. -0.99±0.26; difference in change, -1.09 [95% confidence interval, -1.73 to -0.46]; P<0.001). The results of the analyses of secondary outcomes favored the 700-mg dose over placebo with respect to the ACR20 response but not with respect to the ACR50 and ACR70 responses. Adverse events were similar in the peresolimab and placebo groups.
    Conclusions: Peresolimab showed efficacy in a phase 2a trial in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. These results provide evidence that stimulation of the PD-1 receptor has potential efficacy in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. (Funded by Eli Lilly; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT04634253.).

    Abstract E proteins are conserved regulators of growth and development. We show that the Caenorhabditis elegans E-protein helix-loop-helix-2 (HLH-2) functions as a homodimer in directing development and function of the anchor cell (AC) of the gonad, the critical organizer of uterine and vulval development. Our structure-function analysis of HLH-2 indicates that dimerization drives its degradation in other uterine cells (ventral uterine precursor cells [VUs]) that initially have potential to be the AC. We also provide evidence that this mode of dimerization-driven down-regulation can target other basic HLH (bHLH) dimers as well. Remarkably, human E proteins can functionally substitute for C. elegans HLH-2 in regulating AC development and also display dimerization-dependent degradation in VUs. Our results suggest that dimerization-driven regulation of bHLH protein stability may be a conserved mechanism for differential regulation in specific cell contexts.

    Abstract Purpose: The aim of the study was to describe the pathogen, antimicrobial susceptibility, and trends over time of microbial keratitis (MK) at a Midwestern tertiary eye center.
    Methods: Patients with MK were identified in the electronic health record from August 2012 to December 2021. Diagnostic laboratory tests with an MK diagnosis were identified and classified as laboratory positive or laboratory negative. Laboratory-positive infections were categorized as bacterial (gram-positive, gram-negative, or acid-fast bacilli), fungal, viral, Acanthamoeba , or polymicrobial. Antimicrobial susceptibilities were obtained. Trends over time were assessed using linear regression.
    Results: Of 3288 patients with MK identified, 1012 (30.8%) had laboratory tests performed. Laboratory-positive infections (n = 499, 49.3%) were bacterial in 73.5% (n = 367) of cases, fungal in 7.8% (n = 39), viral in 1.6% (n = 8), Acanthamoeba in 1.4% (n = 7), and polymicrobial in 15.6% (n = 78). Of bacterial infections, 70% (n = 257) were gram-positive, with coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CoNS; 31%) and Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus

    23%) as the most common pathogens. Bacteria were acid-fast bacilli in 1.9% (n = 7) of cases and gram-negative in 28.1% (n = 103), with Pseudomonas aeruginosa as the predominant pathogen (47.7%). S. aureus showed antibiotic resistance from 0% (vancomycin and gentamicin) to 50% (erythromycin); CoNS from 0% (vancomycin, gentamicin, and moxifloxacin) to 64% (erythromycin). The rate of laboratory-negative MK significantly increased over time (slope estimate = 2.1% per year, P = 0.034). Rates of bacterial, fungal, viral, Acanthamoeba , and polymicrobial infections were stable over time (all slope P > 0.05).
    Conclusions: Bacterial keratitis accounted for most MK cases. Gram-positive bacteria were the most common isolates. CoNS and S. aureus were universally susceptible to vancomycin. Rates of MK infection types were stable over time.
