Forget BiTEs, what about tri-specific T-cell engagers? Conceptually tempting in many ways & promising in this early study. Seems more scalable than some cellular therapy options - so def one to watch #EULAR2025 LB0007 Dr. John Cush (&slide from Helga Lechner-Radner’s highlights)

Still more to catch up on #EULAR2025: More good news for anti-FcRn therapy - this time in myositis Perhaps an obvious target indication, but need more steroid-sparing options in myositis (&thanks again for Helga Lechner-Radner's highlights slide) #EULAR2025 OP0002 Dr. John Cush

Amazing that, after that magnitude of positive phase 2 result for secukinumab in GCA (TitAIN) as below ⬇️ that the phase 3 secukinumab in GCA (GCAptAIN) could fail its primary endpoint and multiple key secondaries. Stunning globenewswire.com/news-release/2…

Now that the subsequent phase 3 (GCAptAIN) has failed, worth full reflection. I won’t pretend I didn’t subsequently buy into the excitement about secukinumab and GCA in the lead-up to Thursday’s announcement, but I should have listened to earlier me (who had appropriate caution)
