    Abstract We report a 64-year-old patient with melanoma receiving ipilimumab and nivolumab therapy who presented with a periaortic soft tissue mass around the abdominal aorta on restaging fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging. Clinical, laboratory, and radiologic findings resulted in a diagnosis of immune checkpoint inhibitor-related periaortitis. Periaortitis is a rare disease presenting with fibro-inflammatory tissue around the aorta and may lead to serious complications. Immune checkpoint inhibitors were discontinued, and the patient was treated with glucocorticoids, leading to a complete resolution of the periaortitis. To our knowledge, this is only the third reported case of immune checkpoint inhibitor-related periaortitis.

    Abstract Female sex is associated with a higher risk for autoimmune diseases (ADs) and immune-related adverse events (irAEs) from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). While the safety of ICIs in AD cohorts has been reported, sex-segregated data on patient characteristics and outcomes are lacking. In the present study, the disease and treatment characteristics of 51 patients with cancer and preexisting AD (PAD) treated with ICIs at Bern University Hospital Cancer Center (Bern, Switzerland) between January 2017 and June 2021 were analyzed by sex. Rheumatic (n=12/27, 44.4%) and endocrine (n=11/24, 45.8%) PADs were most common among male and female patients, respectively. At the time of ICI initiation, 29.6% (n=8/27) of male and 20.8% (n=5/24) of female patients received immunosuppression for their PAD. Female patients were more likely to experience an irAE (58.3 vs. 48.1%), and less likely to encounter an exacerbation of their PAD (38.5 vs. 14.3%) compared with male patients. Multiple-site irAEs (46.2 vs. 21.4%), implication of an organ specialist for irAEs (100.0 vs. 57.1%) and use of additional immunosuppressive drugs (38.4 vs. 7.7%) were more common in male patients. IrAEs were resolved and ICIs were discontinued in 69.2% (n=9/13) and 71.4% (n=10/14) of the total male and female patients, respectively. Median progression-free survival was higher in male than female patients with irAEs (19.9 vs. 10.7 months) and without irAEs (4.4 vs. 1.8 months). The median overall survival time was higher in male than female patients with irAEs (not estimable vs. 22.5 months) and without irAEs (10.1 vs. 7.4 months). Taken together, these results suggested that sex-related differences existed regarding the clinical presentation of irAEs and treatment outcome.

    Abstract Objectives: We investigated the potential of serum proteins to distinguish clinical and molecular subtypes in patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA).
    Methods: Proximity extension assays were used to analyse 1463 proteins in serum samples from patients with new-onset GCA (n = 16) and after achieving remission (n = 13). Unsupervised and supervised cluster analyses were performed.
    Results: Unsupervised cluster analysis identified three distinct clusters based on the protein signature. Compared with cluster 2, patients of cluster 1 had less polymyalgia rheumatica symptoms, increased levels of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and pronounced NF-kB, STAT5 and interleukin-1 signalling. The changes in serum proteins upon remission differed between cluster 1 and 2.Patients with cranial GCA were characterised by altered endothelial and Th17 signalling whereas patients not responding to treatment within the GUSTO-trial showed increased Th1 and diminished B cell signalling. Patients with anterior ischemic optic neuropathy displayed higher levels of CHI3L1 (YKL40), MMP12 and reduced levels of TIMP3.
    Conclusions: Protein profiling identifies patient clusters in GCA with distinct proteomic features and therefore likely different pathophysiology. These unique proteomic footprints might lead to more targeted treatments in future.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the clinical phenotype and treatment response in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with and without concomitant Sjögren's disease (SjD).
    Methods: In this observational cohort study, patients with RA from the Swiss Clinical Quality Management in Rheumatic Diseases registry were categorised according to the presence or absence of SjD. To assess treatment effectiveness, drug retention of tumor necrosis factor-α-inhibitors (TNFi) was compared to other mode of action (OMA) biologics and Janus kinase-inhibitors (JAKi) in RA patients with and without SjD. Adjusted hazard ratios (HR) for time to drug discontinuation were compared in crude and adjusted Cox proportional regression models for potential confounders.
    Results: We identified 5974 patients without and 337 patients with concomitant SjD. Patients with SjD were more likely to be female, to have a positive rheumatoid factor, higher disease activity scores, and erosive bone damage. For treatment response, a total of 6781 treatment courses were analysed. After one year, patients with concomitant SjD were less likely to reach DAS28 remission with all three treatment modalities. Patients with concomitant SjD had a higher hazard for stopping TNFi treatment (adjusted HR 1.3 [95% CI 1.07-1.6]; OMA HR 1.12 [0.91-1.37]; JAKi HR 0.97 [0.62-1.53]). When compared to TNFi, patients with concomitant SjD had a significantly lower hazard for stopping treatment with OMA (adjusted HR 0.62 [95% CI 0.46-0.84]) and JAKi (HR 0.52 [0.28-0.96]).
    Conclusion: RA patients with concomitant SjD reveal a severe RA phenotype, are less responsive to treatment, and more likely to fail TNFi.

    Abstract Objective: Proteome analyses in patients with newly diagnosed, untreated giant cell arteritis (GCA) have not been reported previously, nor are changes of protein expression upon treatment with glucocorticoids (GC) and/or tocilizumab (TCZ) known. The GUSTO trial allows to address these questions, provides the opportunity to learn about the differential effects of GC and TCZ on proteomics and may help to identify serum proteins to monitor disease activity.
    Methods: Serum samples obtained from 16 patients with new-onset GCA at different time points (day 0, 3, 10, and week 4, 24, 52) during the GUSTO trial (NCT03745586) were examined for 1436 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) based on proximity extension assay technology. The patients received 500 mg methylprednisolone intravenously for 3 consecutive days followed by TCZ monotherapy.
    Results: When comparing day 0 (before the first GC infusion) with week 52 (lasting remission), 434 DEPs (213↑, 221↓) were identified. In response to treatment, the majority of changes occurred within 10 days. GC inversely regulated 25 proteins compared to remission. No difference was observed between weeks 24 and 52 during established remission and ongoing TCZ treatment. Expression of CCL7, MMP12, and CXCL9 was not regulated by IL6.
    Conclusion: Disease-regulated serum proteins improved within 10 days and were normalized within 24 weeks, showing a kinetic corresponding to the gradual achievement of clinical remission. The proteins inversely regulated by GC and TCZ shed light on the differential effects of the two drugs. CCL7, CXCL9, and MMP12 are biomarkers that reflect disease activity despite normalized C-reactive protein levels.

    Abstract Objectives: To investigate the proportion and distribution of contrast enhancement (CE) of musculoskeletal structures with MRI of the thorax/abdomen/pelvis in giant cell arteritis (GCA).
    Methods: CE at 34 musculoskeletal sites was rated with a 4-point ordinal scale. Patients were divided into groups with/without glucocorticoid (GC) treatment and with/without symptoms of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). Two composite scores were created: an MRI-score, including seven sites and a Limited-MRI-score, including four sites.
    Results: Retrospectively, 90 consecutive patients with GCA were included. The population included 54 and 36 patients with and without PMR symptoms, respectively, and 45 (50%) patients were receiving GCs at the time of MRI. CE was found in 90.7% of lumbar spines, 87.5% of the pelvis, 82.2% of shoulder girdles and in 95.6% at any site in patients without GCs. The proportion of patients without and with GCs with at least moderate enhancement was 91.1%/75.6% at ≥ 1-3, 75.6%/51.1% at ≥ 4-6 and 64.4%/28.9% at ≥ 7-9 sites. The mean difference between the proportion of pathological CE in patients with and without GCs was 27.4% for synovial sites and 18.3% for periarticular/musculotendinous sites. Both composite scores captured substantial differences between groups, correlation was very strong between scores.
    Conclusions: MRI shows CE of musculoskeletal structures typical of PMR in most patients with GCA, supporting the concept of "GCA-PMR Spectrum Disease". Changes are more frequent at periarticular/musculotendinous sites and in the presence of PMR symptoms. A clear response to GCs is evident, less so for periarticular/musculotendinous sites.
